Pac-12 Media Days 2017: Complete schedule of events
The 2017 Pac-12 Media Days are here. Pull up your live steam and check out the full schedule of events for two days out in sunny Hollywood, California.
Pac-12 Media Days will get under way with an opening address by the conference commissioner, Larry Scott. After he wraps up the rest of the coaches will take their turns addressing the media. Each coach has a 25 minutes time slot, which doesn’t seem very long, but it sure will feel longer for those coaches on the hot seat.
Joining the group for the first time will be new Cal head coach Justin Wilcox and new Oregon head man Willie Taggert. They’ll be staggered, each having their own day as the “new kid in town.”
According to an NCAA release, the complete schedule for the two days of Pac-12 Media Days is as follows:
Wednesday July, 26 (all times pacific)

- 9:40 a.m. — Rich Rodriguez, Arizona
- 10:05 a.m. — Justin Wilcox, California
- 10:30 a.m. — Jim Mora, UCLA

It’s no accident that the Pac-12 back-loaded their schedule, closing their two-day session with two of the more quotable figures in the Pac-12 coaching ranks. Clay Helton is always a good interview, and Mike Leach is… well, everyone knows that Mike Leach is going to say what he thinks.
