Starting at 9 AM with Commissioner Larry Scott's opening remarks, each team's head coach and a featured player will meet the media, starting with California Coach Jeff Tedford and wide receiver Marvin Jones, giving football fans up and down the Pacific and now the Mountain time zones their first official taste of football talk.
Safety Lance MItchell will join Oregon State coach Mike Riley. The Beaver contingent is up third, at approx. 9:35, following Oregon coach Chip Kelly and tight end David Paulson.
The Pac-12 Northern Division schools will comprise the first half of the program. After a break at apprx. 10:35, the Pac-12 Southern Division schools will have their turn, starting with Arizona coach Mike Stoops and quarterback Nick Foles. The teams' representatives will speak in alphabetical order within their divisions.

Here are the quotes from the Oregon St. session.
Here is the video replay of Coach Riley and Lance.
Individual interviews with media members followed.
Once they wind up in Los Angeles, the coaches will join the Commissioner as they head east to New York City, and, similar to last year, on to ESPN Headquarters in Bristol, Conn., for the second part of the media tour. Coaches will have the opportunity to address east coast media, and then will visit the ESPN campus for additional media contact opportunities.
Segments with various coaches will appear on ESPNU, Gameday, Sportscenter, College Football Live (on tape), and SportsNation.

Order of Presentation
In past years, the coaches have come out in opposite order of finish from the previous season. Looks like they just went to division and then alphabetical order this time, which makes sense since it would be hard to slot Utah & Colorado. I wonder if that will change back to the previous method next year.
