The perception of ESPN having an SEC bias in college football coverage is a common criticism.

• Factors: This perception stems from several factors, including the significant media attention given to SEC programs, the prominence of SEC coaches and analysts on ESPN's platforms, and the network's extensive coverage of SEC games.
• Counterarguments: Some argue that this "bias" is simply a reflection of the SEC's on-field dominance in recent years. The conference has consistently produced top-tier teams and has been a powerhouse in college football.

Ultimately, whether or not ESPN truly favors the SEC is subjective. However, the perception of bias exists and continues to be a topic of discussion among college football fans.

The Big 12 Conference has signed a new media rights deal that includes TNT as a broadcast partner. This agreement will see TNT air a selection of Big 12 football and basketball games, expanding the conference's reach and providing fans with more viewing options.

The addition of TNT to the Big 12's media rights package is seen as a significant move for the conference, further enhancing its visibility and attracting a wider audience.
