BIRMINGHAM — Southeastern Conference media days is scheduled to take place July 13-16 at the College Football Hall of Fame and Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, Ga.
With the coronavirus pandemic ongoing and the SEC canceling all spring sports for the remainder of the 2019-20 athletic calendar, media days could potentially be postponed or canceled.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey discussed if media days remain scheduled to take place this July in Atlanta.
“I’m going to be half-full right now and say we’re full steam ahead on our Atlanta planning for media days,” Sankey said during a teleconference Wednesday. “Last Thursday morning, I was full steam ahead on planning a basketball tournament and was disrupted.
“So we’re going to prepare for disruption, but we’re going to plan as if, in July, we’ll have the Media Days opportunity as scheduled, and that’s the best answer I can give at this moment.”
