SEC announces schedule for SEC Media Days

The dates have been set for SEC Media Days later this year and the complete order of coaches is set for the unofficial start of the 2015 college football season on July 13.

SEC Media Days has served as the unofficial start to the season for the last several years for die-hard college football fans in the south who countdown the days to the event once spring practice ends in April.

More than 1,200 people have been in attendance for the event each of the last two years as fans and credentialed media flock to the Winfrey Hotel in Hoover, Alabama for the four-day event.

SEC Media Days begins on Monday, July 13 with the ushering in of a new era with Mike Slive retiring as conference commissioner due to an ongoing battle with prostate cancer. The yet-to-be-announced SEC commissioner will kick things off and we will also see the conference’s only new coach in Florida’s Jim McElwain that day.

More information will be released later this summer in regard to specific times and which players will be joining their coaches in Hoover, but here is the rundown for the first SEC Media Days that will be televised on the SEC Network.
