SEC media days in Dallas have wrapped, with all sixteen teams taking the podium one by one to talk about their programs. The Oklahoma Sooners spoke on Tuesday, as head coach Brent Venables, quarterback Jackson Arnold, linebacker Danny Stutsman and safety Billy Bowman represented the team well in Big D.
With the close of SEC media days, ESPN unveiled their brand-new graphics package for the “SEC on ABC” that will debut this fall.
The days of the “SEC on CBS” and its iconic theme music are over, but the “SEC on ABC” looks promising from a viewing standpoint. OU will surely have more than a few games on ABC, as their new conference looks to highlight its new members.
The SEC will now have their games exclusively shown on ESPN networks, after previously playing on CBS. The Big Ten will be shown on every major network but ESPN/ABC (FOX, CBS, NBC), while the ACC is on shakier ground as a whole as a conference. Their TV deal is also with ESPN/ABC, as well as the CW Network. Oklahoma’s old conference, the Big 12, will still be shown on ESPN and FOX.
The “SEC on ABC” and the new graphics will debut on Saturday, August 31, one day after the Oklahoma Sooners take on the Temple Owls to open their season.
