The Chicago Tribune Silver Football is awarded by the Chicago Tribune to the college football player determined to be the best player from the Big Ten Conference.[1] The award has been presented annually since 1924, when Red Grange of Illinois was the award's first recipient.[1] In 2022, the Chicago Tribune announced a new partnership with the Union League Club of Chicago, where it is currently housed.[2]
A vote of Big Ten head football coaches determines the winner of the Silver Football.[1] Each coach submits a two-player ballot with a first and second choice, and coaches cannot vote for players on their own team.[1] The first-place vote receives two points and the second-place vote receives one point.[1]
Coaches and media of the Big Ten also make annual selections for additional individual honors.
