Circus Tent: SEC Media Days to commence July 17

While college football fans must wait another 50-plus days for the 2012 season to officially begin, the media frenzy, in respect to the SEC, will begin July 17.

The 2012 installment of SEC Media Days will not only provide nuggets of information to fans and media alike, the event will also host the two newest members of the SEC, Missouri and Texas A&M.

While the Winfrey Hotel (Hoover, AL) will once again provide the “tent” for this annual “circus," SEC Media Days will serve as not only an event to gather general information and possible breaking news, but it will also serve as a reminder that college football, and more importantly SEC football, is right around the corner.

The text below is the itinerary for SEC Media Days 2012. Individual coaches have been excluded, but calendar dates, times, structured order, and player representation has been provided.
