Rece Davis is a mainstay and one piece of ESPN’s College GameDay show. He recently went on the Paul Finebaum Show to discuss a number of items.
In particular, Davis was asked about GameDay’s plans following the completion of the B1G’s new media rights deal. Under that deal, B1G games will be broadcast across multiple networks with CBS, FOX and NBC a part of the new deal.
Most notably, ESPN – the broadcast network for College GameDay – will not be featured in the new deal. However, Davis said he does not expect College GameDay to shut out the conference from visiting those campuses.
Rece Davis on Finebaum, expects College GameDay to continue going to Big Ten sites.
“Our intention is to continue on the model that built GameDay, which is be at the biggest story every week, whether that’s the Big Ten, SEC, ACC wherever. I don’t see us avoiding the Big Ten.”

“Our intention is to continue on the model that build GameDay, which is (to) be at the biggest story every week, whether that’s the Big Ten, SEC, ACC wherever,” said Davis. “I don’t see us avoiding the Big Ten.”
Davis did admit that the crew doesn’t make the final decision, but they are consulted on the matter. We’ll see how much GameDay visits the B1G once the new media deal goes into effect next season.
