The Big Ten is gearing up for its annual football media days in a few days and it appears many of the league's mascots are already exploring Chicago -- some in quite adventurous ways.

The University of Minnesota's Goldy Gopher was 103 floors up, checking out the Skydeck Ledge of the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower, when he was photobombed by Michigan State's mascot, Sparty.

Then they all joined in, proving once and for all that Big Ten mascots have no fear of heights.
