The Southeastern Conference infiltrated Big 12 country when it invited, and ultimately accepted, Texas and Oklahoma into the conference. As a welcoming gesture, the two schools won’t have to go far for SEC Media Days next season.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey announced on Monday will host its media days in Dallas next year. The event will take place at the Omni Hotel from July 15-18.
The annual event has rotated locations, including destinations like Atlanta and Nashville, which is currently hosting the ongoing media days.
It could be a busy time in Dallas-Fort Worth for preseason media days next summer.
The Big 12 just wrapped up its annual media days at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. At the event, Big 12 comissioner Brett Yormark talked about the importance of ingraining the conference in Dallas-Fort Worth. Big 12 headquarters are nearby in Irving. The conference’s championship football game will be played at AT&T Stadium at least through 2030.
The American Athletic Conference and Conference USA headquarters are also based in the Dallas area. Conference USA will hold its media day at Globe Life Field on July 25. The AAC will do the same from July 24-25.
