The new Southeastern Conference and ESPN agreement is a big exposure win for Kentucky football.
While the basketball team doesn’t worry about prime time games the Kentucky football team and the rest of the SEC will reap rewards with the new 10-year deal announced between the league and ESPN. The agreement set to begin in 2024-25 means ESPN and ABC will have exclusive rights to broadcast all SEC football and basketball games.
Under the Walt Disney umbrella, the network has pried the contract away from CBS sports who has been its flag bearer.
