All SEC spring games to be televised live in 2016
Every SEC spring football game will be on live television in 2016, according to a Wednesday release from the conference.
In a change from 2015, which was the first year that spring games were televised on the SEC Network, each team’s event will be televised without tape delay thanks to the utilization of multiple networks.
Last year fans of many schools were subjected to a tape delay for television broadcast, with the live event only available through SEC Network+ in some instances.
There will be no such inconveniences this year.
All 13 games (Ole Miss will not conduct a spring game due to stadium renovations) will appear live and in their entirety on either ESPN, ESPNU or SEC Network. The games also will be available on the ESPN and WatchESPN apps.
Games begin on Friday with Vanderbilt’s Black and Gold Game.
Here’s a look at the complete schedule:
