What happens

TNT Sports (formerly Turner Sports) has occasionally televised college football games on its networks since 1982; that year, under an agreement with the NCAA, TBS became the first broadcaster to nationally televise college football on cable. After the NCAA broadcasting package was dismantled in 1984 following a Supreme Court ruling, TBS would broadcast SEC football from 1984 to 1992, along with selected bowl games through 2000. Regular-season college football returned to TBS in 2002 as part of a sub-licensing agreement with Fox Sports Net, broadcasting a package of Pac-10 and Big 12 games through 2006. In 2024, ESPN announced that it had reached an agreement with TNT Sports to televise College Football Playoff games on TNT beginning that season; the games are produced by ESPN as part of its college football coverage. This was followed by its acquisition of a Mountain West Conference package on TruTV for the 2024 season, and a Big 12 package that premiered in 2025 as part of a sub-licensing agreement with ESPN.
