Typically, the team's player choice goes one of three ways: 1) The team brings its biggest star, as it should in the spirit of media day; 2) The team brings its quarterback, which seems fair enough; 3) The team brings a senior it wants to honor.
Of course, this process often creates a bit of tension when the player draws a "Who?" while representing a program with a guy who's on preseason All-America teams.
See if you can guess which leading Heisman Trophy candidate won't be attending media day.
