What is wrong with this picture?
The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is annually considered one of the top NCAA Division III football conferences in the country. The conference is home to the defending Division III National Champion and a football program that has reached the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in each of the past five seasons. UW-Whitewater has gone toe-to-toe with Mount Union each year, winning the 2007 and 2009 NCAA Division III Titles.
A great opportunity to market the conference by holding what was once an annual WIAC Football Media Day. Last year, due to budget contsraints elected to cancel Media Day.
I understand the budget concerns but why not a conference call WIAC football preseason media day? The more publicity this conference can get, the better it is for all WIAC schools and football programs.
What is so disappointing this year is the number of Division III conferences around the nation THAT ARE conducting preseason media days this week. Conferences like the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC), home to Mount Union College will hold media events this week that will allow fans to watch a live video of the event with one click on your computer. The College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) will conduct its second annual live chat with its eight head football coaches on Thursday, August 5. The Centennial Conference will also have its football media day via Live Chat.
It certainly would be great for the WIAC if it had developed Live Chat Media Day or another "out of the box" preseason media event.
Not complaining - just wishing out loud.
