The SEC on ABC has unveiled a return of the old-school ESPN College Football theme song. This one comes from the early 2000s and is a great reminder of that era.
This comes as the SEC on CBS comes to an end. Instead, in 2024, those media rights have gone to ESPN, and with that, the network is getting ready for the college football season by promoting that those games formerly found on CBS can now be found on ABC.

While the song is from the early 2000s, the video in the promotion from ESPN is clearly set in 2024. Texas and Oklahoma both make appearances, as well as Missouri and Texas A&M , who weren’t yet in the SEC during the early 2000s. There are also players who fans can expect to be competing this season. That includes the likes of Graham Mertz and Quinn Ewers .

The music itself is very much of its era, though. That should absolutely take fans back to SEC football in the early 2000s, reminding everyone of that time and place. It really plays on nostalgia for that time and place.
Of course, over the years, the SEC on CBS music became one of the sounds of college football season. That song still exists, of course, but won’t be used on SEC games anymore. Meanwhile, those SEC games are going to be going back to the revamping of this song.
In 2023, when the SEC’s media deal with ESPN and ABC was announced, Commissioner Greg Sankey shared why the deal was so important for the conference.
“What that does, and it’s something about which I’ve spoken but gets lost, is when we move to the ABC-ESPN group, we have access to more broadcast TV opportunities than perhaps we’ve ever had, certainly in recent decades,” Sankey said . “In other words, 130-plus million households with access to broadcast TV, we could literally program an ABC game at noon Eastern, 3:30 Eastern and then, that primetime window on particular Saturdays. Now, ABC and ESPN have other contractual commitments. But that’s an illustration of the breadth of reach that we are about to experience.”
Moving forward, the SEC will have a game on ABC at 3:30 p.m. EST every week the same way that it was played on CBS.
