Proposed Format
- Players from the first-team all-preseason team are required to attend. Additional players (players not on pre-season team) are permitted at school’s discretion.
- There is no formal luncheon program in 2015, however, a buffet lunch will be available for all team parties and media, beginning at 11:30 am.
- The conference will produce a live show, aired on The Valley on ESPN3, from 9:30 am CT until 1:15 pm CT, featuring 10-minute segments from each program. A
designated moderator will interview men’s coaches and student-athletes, and a separate moderator will interview women’s coaches and student-athletes.
- For one-on-one sessions in the main room, players and coaches will be seated at designated tables throughout the room. Print and radio media will conduct
one-on-one interviews at these tables. There will be separate areas designated for interviews with TV stations.
- Interview Taping (MVC Television Network) will be conducted with coaches and student-athletes throughout the day. SIDs will help coordinate the taping of
these segments for use in preseason television shows and game-of-the-week telecasts. Taped segments will also be featured pieces at the MVC Basketball Tournaments.
