The Gulf South Conference Game of the Week returns for its 13th season with a 10-game slate featured exclusively on ESPN3 and the ESPN app. Florida’s Space Coast Office of Tourism will serve as the title sponsor of the package, which will include in-game features and online promotional contests throughout the season.
The Choctaws will play twice on ESPN3, hosting rival Delta State on September 30th at 7:00 pm before traveling to Valdosta State on October 14th at 6:00 pm.
ESPN3 will serve as the exclusive carrier of the league’s package for the fourth straight season. This year’s slate will feature nine Saturday games and one Thursday night contest.
“The Gulf South Conference’s Game of the Week package has been a leader in Division II since its inception. Continuing our relationship with ESPN provides unparalleled exposure and distribution for the GSC,” said GSC Commissioner Matt Wilson. “We believe that the ESPN digital platforms are ideal for our fans, student-athletes, and future recruits.”
