SoCon Football Media Day Tuesday

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Southern Conference preseason football media teleconference on Tuesday, July 28 will be streamed live throughout the day on SoConSports.com, giving SoCon football fans the chance to hear the league’s head football coaches and select players discuss the upcoming season.

In addition, fans will have the opportunity to contribute to this year’s event by submitting questions for coaches and student-athletes – one of which will be chosen for each participant in the teleconference. Fans should email their questions to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , including the following information:

•  
  • Your name
  • Hometown
  • Favorite SoCon team
  • Coach or student-athlete to whom your question is directed
  • Question

The event kicks off at 8:45 a.m. (ET) when league commissioner John Iamarino will give remarks and be available for questions from the media.

Starting at 9:00 a.m., each coach will be allotted 30 minutes for interviews, and every student-athlete will fill a 15-minute window following his head coach. In order to help media members who cannot stay on for the entire call, we will not begin a coach or player’s interview until his allotted time slot.

A complete schedule is attached below.
