The SEC Network has announced its college football pregame show won’t be doing any traveling this fall. SEC Nation is getting a makeover this fall, changing out half the cast and eliminating fan interaction.
Laura Rutledge and Tim Tebow return to the show. Former Alabama safety Roman Harper and former Vanderbilt quarterback Jordan Rodgers join the cast. The four will be spread across the country on Saturday mornings. Rutledge will be at the main ESPN studios in Bristol, Harper will be at the SEC Network studios in Charlotte, while Rodgers and Tebow will be at their respective homes.
“Hosting television has changed so significantly these past several months, and we’ve all had to adjust as the world around us has changed,” Rutledge said in a press release. “This season will look different for SEC Nation and in stadiums around the SEC, but what hasn’t changed is what a blast we have together every Saturday. We’re all counting down the days until the first show.”
That first show is set for September 19. It will be a season preview show, with the entire SEC slate set to begin the following weekend.
“We’ll miss traveling around the conference and spending Saturday mornings with SEC fans, but if the last six months have taught us anything, SEC Nation is more connected than ever,” SEC Network coordinating producer Barron Miller added. “I know we’ll still feel their energy and have them with us on Saturdays.”
