It has already been a big start to the week for Cardinal fans with Teddy Bridgewater taking over the ESPN studios on Monday and that is just the beginning. On Tuesday the Louisville football team will participate in their first and last American Athletic Conference media days. It will be an awkward season of transition for our athletic program and I’m sure there will be some awkward moments this week at the media days. Rutgers and Louisville are here, but for just one year, one headed to the Big Ten in a year’s time, the other to the ACC. And that doesn’t even account for Cincinnati and Connecticut. Both are in the American, but both would jump in a heartbeat if a better deal came calling.
Regardless of the awkwardness football season is upon us and Cardinal fans are counting down the days to kickoff. Coach Charlie Strong will be accompanied to AAC media days by Teddy Bridgewater, Hakeem Smith, Damian Copeland, and Preston Brown. For complete digital coverage of the event, fans are asked to visit www.TheAmerican.org/Kickoff. The event will also be covered live on ESPN3.
Louisville interviews start at 10:00am
