I can understand the why but the format and production was awful. Unprepared hosts, irrelevant questions, a Nicholls player dropped an F-bomb… what a circus.

I agree. It was pathetic. I watched through the Lamar coach (could barely hear the McNeese coach and players with their abysmal audio). I had planned to go back and watch the rest but never got around to it.
There is just something about having all the coaches and players gathered together and quality interviews.

I agree. It's the D-I thing to do.

The article gave some props to the UAC:

The United Athletic Conference might have set a new standard during its media day on July 14 at Texas Live! While the UAC media day wasn’t perfect, it provided a look into what could become the future for FCS conferences. The location allowed fans to attend, which was an excellent opportunity for schools to offer donors inside access.

But July 14 may have been the UAC's best decision. It was the Friday before the THSCA coaching school and avoided conflicts with FBS conferences. FCS conferences should consider moving their media day up a week or two earlier. Sources indicate Grant will ensure a better experience for the schools and fans next year.
