SEC Media Days: By the Numbers

The annual circus known as SEC media days will hit the Hyatt Regency Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Alabama, this week, as the nation's most prolific football conference raises the curtain on the 2015 college football season.

You'll hear from plenty of the stars of the SEC over the four-day event, including Alabama head coach Nick Saban, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier, LSU running back Leonard Fournette and Florida defensive back Vernon Hargreaves III. To get you ready for the madness, take a look at Bleacher Report's ultimate guide to SEC media days.

But what goes on behind the scenes at the extravaganza? 

Here's a unique look at SEC media days by the numbers, courtesy of 2014 information provided by the SEC media relations office.

• Three-hour media rounds per team
• Four representatives (one coach and three players) per team make 12 interview stops each, including rooms for print media, Internet, TV, ESPN, SEC Network, CBS and SiriusXM
• 30 local, regional and national radio stations on radio row
• 37 gallons of coffee
• 95 percent of rooms the Hyatt Regency Wynfrey Hotel used for SEC media days
• 200 bottles of Gatorade provided to coaches and players
• 384 bottles of water consumed by players and coaches
• 760 room nights contracted by the Hyatt Regency Wynfrey Hotel
• 2,200 boxed lunches served to local, regional and national media members
• 7,500 cups of Dr Pepper products
• 43,449 steps taken by SEC media days coordinator Tammy Wilson during the event

So when you see the masses assembled inside the Wynfrey, keep in mind that we're all well-hydrated, highly caffeinated and that the staff gets quite a workout during SEC media days.
