CIAA Preseason Picks announced
July 24, 2008
The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association announced its Preseason All-CIAA Football Team and Predicted Order of Finish at its Football Press Conference and Luncheon in Petersburg, VA..
This year's press conference featured the 2008 season theme, "Conference of the Quarterbacks." Several of the returning quarterbacks for this season where in attendance and held interviews with the media.
 With a slightly difference format than previous years, each football coach was interviewed by Stan Lewter of the Urban Sports and Entertainment Group as they shared their outlooks for the upcoming year.
The luncheon was streamed live on the Internet through the facilities of Virginia State University and www.Stickam.com
