Birmingham, AL—The Gulf South Conference has officially announced the schedule for the 12th edition of its Florida’s Space Coast GSC Football Game of the Week featured live on ESPN3.
            ESPN3 serves as the exclusive carrier of the league’s package for the third consecutive season.  This year’s 10-game slate includes nine Saturday games and one Thursday night contest and kicks off on September 17 when Shorter University hosts Florida Tech in Rome, Ga.
            “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 Commissioner Matt Wilson. “We believe the ESPN3 and WatchESPN digital platforms are ideal for our fans, student-athletes and future recruits. This year’s slate of games features some of the top teams in Division II and provides a look at emerging programs and rivalries. We are excited to get GSC Football started this fall on ESPN3."
            All nine Conference squads are featured at least twice.  Florida Tech and West Alabama lead the way with three appearances, followed by Delta State, Mississippi College, North Alabama, Shorter, Valdosta State, West Florida and West Georgia.
            Play-by-play commentator Don Russell and color commentator Rick Rhodes will continue to lead the coverage from the booth and Gulf Coast Mobile, L.L.C. will produce the package for the fifth year in a row.
            Fans can access each contest on the GSC's official ESPN3 page at gscsports.org/ESPN3 or visiting WatchESPN.com.
