WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- The CIAA media day is later this week and I usually chuckle when asked about it.Coaches do a wonderful job of telling the media absolutely nothing on media day. And the reason for this is coaches don’t want to give away anything to an opposing coach.
I haven’t attended one of these in a while because I realized it had no bearing on what happens next month when practices open. It also usually coincides with vacation time. Coaches won’t really know who will be starting or even on the team until practices begin around Aug. 10.
So on Thursday there will be questions lobbed at the coaches and the answers will be as general as a politician who is campaigning for office.
About the only news that comes out the media day is the preseason coaches’ poll. But the coaches don’t really know about their own teams so they can’t expect to know about the other teams in the conference.
