The Central Michigan University football team held it's annual media day at Kelly/Shorts Stadium Wednesday.
First-year head coach Butch Jones held a brief press conference to open up the festivities. From there the defending Mid-American Conference champions dispersed around the stadium for media interviews and photo opportunities. One noticable difference between this year and last was the new scoreboard at the north end of the stadium. The Chippewas were picked to finish second in the MAC West Division in the preseason poll and open the home docket on Sept. 8 against Toledo.
