Jealous. Wish the SBC had a kickoff show on ESPN+ every Saturday morning haha.

I would have to imagine their kickoff show won't be to the production level of Gameday or SEC's but I admire the fortitude and would love to see the Conference try something

It seems the next "craze" is teams producing their own docuseries for ESPN+

It’s marketing. If you have something interesting to show, put it out there and get your name out there. It’s all about marketing, done correctly and it will get attention and help put butts in the stands and in the classrooms.
