DALLAS – Conference USA will take fans beyond the football field this October with the launch of the Weekday Warrior Series, a new content initiative designed to spotlight the people, places and traditions that make each of the league’s 10 member communities unique.
Throughout the month of October, CUSA Associate Director of Digital Content
Dane Lewis, along with a rotating cast of other conference staff members, will visit each member institution surrounding its Weekday CUSA football games, immersing itself in the culture of each community and sharing those stories with fans across the country.
The 10-episode series will feature student and fan interviews, local restaurants and attractions, tailgating and game-day traditions, and behind-the-scenes access to CUSA campuses and communities.
Full episodes will be released on the CUSA YouTube channel, with additional highlights and short-form content distributed across CUSA’s social media platforms.
Fans will also play a central role in the series, with CUSA encouraging each community to showcase its best game-day experience. At the conclusion of the series, CUSA will recognize standout communities in categories including Best Tailgate, Best In-Game Atmosphere, Best Local Restaurant and Best Student Section.
The Weekday Warrior Series is part of CUSA’s continued effort to use its unique October football schedule to shine a national spotlight on its member institutions and the communities they represent.
