The Southern Conference, which continues to celebrate its 100 years of history in 2021, enters the fall campaign seeking its ninth FCS title. The league's eight are the second-most all-time in the division.
"This year's Football Media Day will be a colossal event at the prestigious Biltmore in Asheville," Schaus said. "We are an elite football conference whose vision is to compete at the highest level of the FCS and be in the mix for a national championship. We are hoping that we will be back to normal competition this fall and can ensure a safe and exciting season for fans."
