John Beilein is back in the college game -- just not as a coach. Not yet, anyway.
Instead, he's making the move to TV.
Beilein will serve as a studio analyst for the Big Ten Network during the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA Tournament, with his debut coming Wednesday night. It's his first gig since stepping down as head coach of the Cavs last month.

March 10, 2020 Beilein, 67, figures to make a good analyst. He's spent 27 years in the D-1 college coaching ranks, including 12 years in the Big Ten at Michigan. The Wolverines claimed two regular season conference championships and two conference tournament championships during his tenure.
Michigan kicks off play in the Big Ten Tournament Thursday at noon against Rutgers.
