The Southeastern Conference has announced a significant change to its marquee event of the preseason. According to a statement issued Wednesday morning, the Southeastern Conference will hold its first-ever virtual football media days in 2020. SEC Football Media Days was scheduled to be held in Atlanta, July 13-16, at the College Football Hall of Fame and Omni Atlanta Hotel.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey stated the virtual event will give the SEC the opportunity to manage the event in a healthy manner and will provide flexibility for the SEC programs to adjust their preparation for the 2020 football season according to the preseason calendar that is expected to be expanded due to the cancellation of the spring football season.
The virtual event will feature Sankey’s annual “State of the SEC” address, as well as media sessions with the conference’s 14 head coaches and select student-athletes from each school. The SEC is in planning with the SEC Network to provide wall-to-wall coverage of the virtual event.
The dates and times for the virtual media days have not been announced as of this time.
