2011 USA South Football Media Day Set For August 1st

(FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.) - The annual USA South Football Media Day will be hosted by Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia and take place on Monday, August 1st at 11:00 a.m. Each of the Conference's eight football coaches will address the media and give their thoughts on the upcoming football season.

This season marks the 11th year of USA South football. Last season, Christopher Newport and N.C. Wesleyan shared the league championship. The title was the Captains' seventh while it was the Bishops' third. CNU, however, earned the USA South's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament with its 23-15 victory over N.C. Wesleyan during the regular season.

The unveiling of the football pre-season poll will take place on the day of the event. The poll will be given to the media and coaches at the press conference, then released on www.USASouth.net after the event has concluded.

The Conference will also once again attempt to video webcast the event live. A link to the free broadcast will be available on the USA South website as media day approaches.

The 2011 USA South football schedule kicks-off on Saturday, September 3 as all eight teams begin their seasons with non-conference action.
