It’s March 3, but the 2015 college football season is (sort of) just around the corner.
The SEC, always the first out of the box with these things, announced its 2015 media days slate on Tuesday. The festival of football and frivolity begins July 13 (I swear it’ll be before July 4th by 2020) and ends July 16. That’s nearly two full months before the first games.
Most of the procedures are the same - Birmingham’s Wynfrey Hotel, SEC Network and ESPNU with 870 hours of live coverage - but the person unofficially kicking off the season will not be.
