Yay for ESPN3.com.

Would be nice to see the CAA come to an agreement with ESPN3.com...would be nice. This is great for the SoCon conference.

Yeah, it's a LOT of games to be honest. More than expected. And more than the mvfc's 5.

The whole CAA Media Day thing looks pretty humorous now....watching the conference office beat its chest over a pathetic media day. Go save your Northeastern-bound brethren before you do that next time!
