So much for the power of coach Prime.
The spark of college football’s pageantry and passion is ready to ignite, as ESPN welcomes back its robust portfolio of the best rivalries, non-conference clashes, in-state showdowns, unparalleled conference championship contests and premier postseason programming.
A total of 13 games highlighted by SWAC member institutions are included in the initial schedule released by ESPN on Thursday. Additional league games set to be carried on the ESPN family of networks and platforms will be released at a later date.
ESPN will carry approximately 1,000 regular season games across all networks, gearing up for the return of a 40-game Bowl Season schedule that includes the exclusive presentation of the College Football Playoff Semifinals.
