After a one-year absence due to COVID-19, Conference USA’s media days returned this afternoon — albeit in a virtual format. Luckily for all involved, there weren’t any major technical snafus and the day went rather seamlessly. All seven head coaches and 14 players across the division spoke and there were no shortage of highlights. The overarching topic of the session, however, was still COVID — this time it wasn’t about how teams were being affected, rather how each coach was choosing to go about the vaccine with their programs.
“We’re trying to do everything to educate our players, as I’m sure every school across the nation is,” said Middle Tennessee State head coach Rick Stockstill.
