Bulldog Football Opens Camp/트루먼주립대학교(Truman State University)

The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) has released the schedule along with a fan-friendly website for the sixth-annual GLVC Football Kickoff event, which will take place on the campus of McKendree University on Friday.  The website, which can be found at GLVCsports.com/GLVCkickoff17, combines several social and traditional media platforms to allow both the conference's media and fan base to interact with the eight GLVC football head coaches and 16 student-athletes that will be at The Hettenhausen Center for the Arts from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT.

Each school's head coach and two student-athletes will rotate through a number of 10-minute stations designed to promote GLVC football on various platforms, including a live press conference on the GLVC Sports Network (GLVCSN), engaging "4 Downs" interviews that will be uploaded to the GLVC's official YouTube page, an Instagram photo shoot and "Chalk Talk" session, as well as a "3 & Out" feature on Facebook Live. 

Back this year is the Snapchat Social Lounge, allowing the student-athletes an opportunity to take over the GLVC's Snapchat account, GLVCsports.  In addition, the Conference office will make available a number of GLVC- and school-specific Snapchat Geofilters at The Hett for customized snaps. 

Another popular element returning to Kickoff this year is the GLVCSN Extra Credit Experience, which allows student-athletes from one of the league's eight teams an opportunity to document their experience at Kickoff with the GLVC's GoPro camera.  This year's footage will be documented by Quincy University senior running back Chris Harris and senior linebacker Nate Rueckemann, and packaged after the event and shared on the league's YouTube page.

GLVC360 will also return after making its debut last season.  The 360-degree video that gives fans a closer look into the league's championship and special events clips, will be used during the "Twenty on Twitter" station and shared on both Facebook and YouTube platforms.

Each coach and student-athlete will take part in several interview sessions. When they reach the live video stream station, the team representatives will spend 10 minutes previewing the upcoming season while coverage of the formal press conference will be streamed live on GLVCSN.com for all fans to watch free of charge.

Not only will fans have an opportunity to see their team in a formal setting, they will also have several opportunities to see their personal side as well.  The "3 & Out" feature on Facebook Live will showcase each participant fielding questions focused on life as an NCAA Division II student-athlete, while also entertaining questions submitted by GLVC fans watching online.  The "4 Downs" YouTube segment, which will be hosted by GLVCSN Extra Credit reporter Micalah Booher, will put each player and coach on the clock with four "hot seat" questions. 

Fans will learn more about the keys to victory and pregame protocol from the teams at the Instagram "Chalk Talk" station, while coaches and players will also pose for a variety of different photos and videos on the platform.  Fans can immediately post those pictures to their social media accounts and share them with all of their friends.

The league will also be using Twitter to promote the 2017 season on its official Twitter accounts: @GLVCsports and @GLVCSN.  The GLVC will once again be using the hashtag #GLVCkickoff and encourages its schools and fans to do the same.  In addition, the league will release the 2017 GLVC Preseason Poll on Twitter over the course of the first hour of the event.  Back for a fifth season will be "Twenty on Twitter," which concludes the online event with all eight coaches and 16 players tweeting live on both their personal and school's official athletics Twitter accounts from 12:50-1:10 p.m. CT.  Over those final 20 minutes, the conference participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts on the event, tweet photos from the day, or answer any final questions from fans using #GLVCkickoff on select accounts, including @UIndyAthletics, @GoBlueTigers, @McKBearcats, @minersports, @QUHawks, @sbubearcats, @TrumanAthletics, and @WJCCardinals.

Media members attending GLVC Football Kickoff will also be involved in the station rotation, as each GLVC football team will spend at least 10 minutes with reporters from print, radio and television outlets throughout the conference footprint.  Additional one-on-one time will also be made available during the event as needed.

A photo gallery featuring the day's activities, as well as group pictures of the head coaches and student-athletes in attendance, will also be available following the event.

The players and coaches scheduled to attend the 2017 GLVC Football Kickoff are Indianapolis head coach Bob Bartolomeo, senior running back Andrew Walker and senior defensive back Aeneas White; Lincoln University head coach Steven A. Smith, junior wide receiver Anthony Townsend and senior linebacker Addison Tucker; McKendree head coach Mike Babcock, senior wide receiver Dustin Walls, and senior defensive end Darion Simmons; Missouri S&T head coach Tyler Fenwick, senior quarterback Tyler Swart, and senior linebacker Austin Truvillion; Quincy head coach Gary Bass, senior running back Chris Harris, and senior linebacker Nate Rueckemann; Southwest Baptist University head coach Robert Clardy, senior wide receiver Kendrick Payne, and senior defensive end Julian Shade;  Truman State head coach Gregg Nesbitt, senior offensive lineman Matt Kaysinger, and senior defensive back Jordan Brown; and William Jewell head coach Shawn Weigel, senior offensive lineman Jeff Gallimore, and junior defensive back Justice Taylor.  Also in attendance will be GLVC Commissioner Jim Naumovich and GLVC Supervisor of Football Officials Mike McCann.
