FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas women's basketball coach Jimmy Dykes is returning to ESPN.
Dykes said Monday that he has signed a three-year contract with the network to be a color analyst, a job he previously held from 1995-2014. He will call men's games on the network and also do some studio work at ESPN's headquarters in Bristol, Conn., and at the SEC Network headquarters in Charlotte, N.C.
About 80 to 90 percent of his games will involve SEC teams.
"That was my league in the past and that's what I'm most familiar with," Dykes said. "I'm very, very grateful and very thankful; very blessed.
