2022 Pac-12 Media Day: Schedule, TV info, and what to expect
We’ve heard from the Big 12’s new, brash commissioner. The SEC bathed in the spotlight for a whole four days in Atlanta. The ACC talked. The Big Ten boasted. Now it’s the Pac-12’s turn to take the main stage.
The league takes to Los Angeles on Friday for its annual Media Day. Every Pac-12 coach, athletic director, and players from each school are on hand to talk about the new season, the future of the league, and whatever else gathered media can think to ask about. The unofficial start to the new college football season is upon us.
Here’s everything you need to know about the day-long event.
