There is a lot of change coming to College GameDay in 2023. One of the first changes fans will notice when the show makes its season debut on Saturday is the theme song.
After 16 years, country duo Big & Rich is out. “Comin’ to Your City” will not be part of the show this year. The artists made the announcement via social media.
In the video, the duo teases that a new era is beginning for the show.
“We’re excited to officially pass the torch to these extremely talented artists,” they said. “We can’t say who just yet, but tune in to ESPN on Saturday, September 2nd at 9 a.m. to find out.”
John Rich is an outspoken conservative. That has prompted some fans to suggest that politics is the motivation behind the change.
The fact that Big & Rich are participating in promoting the show and its new open would suggest that is not true. If it were, it is hard to imagine they would be so amicable about the split.
