KANSAS — The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) will conduct a virtual media day for the 2025-26 men's wrestling season, the conference office announced Wednesday. The event will take place Thursday, October 30, starting at 9 AM CST. The 2025 KCAC Men's Wrestling Virtual Media Day is presented by
IMA Financial Group.
The format of the event will change for the 2025-26 season. Instead of a live event conducted on social media, as has been the tradition the past several years, interviews with coaches will be pre-recorded and released at 20-minute intervals throughout the morning, and will be available to view on the Urban Edge Network (UEN). To view these broadcasts, visit the
Urban Edge Network, or download the UEN app from the
Google Play store or
Apple App store.
NOTE: The broadcasts will be found on the general
UEN "Upcoming" Schedule page, not the KCAC page. Any media-type broadcasts go through the general UEN portion of their platform.
