CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Big South Conference will again video stream live its annual Football Media Day Luncheon, with this year's event taking place at The Westin Charlotte on Friday, July 28. The free, live web stream will be available from 12:00-1:30pm on www.BigSouthSports.com, and will feature all five head coaches and the Conference preseason players of the year addressing print, radio and TV reporters during the luncheon. In addition, one-on-one interviews also will be available via video-on-demand following the live broadcast.
