The Southeastern Conference media days are taking place at the College Football Hall of Fame and The Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
The 2022 media days are taking place July 18-21 and SEC Network is televising the annual event.
Second-year South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer took part in media days Tuesday.
Beamer was asked about name, image and likeness with the Gamecocks’ program.
“I think South Carolina is set up as well as anybody in the country, to be honest with you, from a name, image and likeness standpoint,” Beamer said. “We’re in the capital city of South Carolina. We’re the only show in town. We don’t compete with other pro sports in our state at the high, high level. South Carolina, the fan base, it’s evident how powerful it is. You look at what our players have done, a lot of these guys that are here today, Dakereon, Zacch Pickens, Jovaughn, have been able to capitalize on their name, image and likeness and utilize it the right way, the way the law was intended when it was implemented for sure, that those guys have been able to. You look at other student-athletes at our university, like Aliyah Boston on our basketball team, what she has been able to do from a name, image and likeness standpoint.
“I tell recruits this all the time, it’s not recruiting speak, when you talk about being well-positioned for name, image and likeness opportunities. I have a hard time finding somebody that’s in a better situation than we are.”
