College football fans, brace yourselves — David Pollack just made the boldest move of the decade
In a move no one saw coming, former Georgia Bulldog and beloved ESPN College GameDay analyst David Pollack has inked an unprecedented, record-shattering broadcasting deal with the SEC Network, a direct rival of his longtime media home, ESPN.
💥 The Deal That Changed Everything
Sources close to the negotiation confirmed that Pollack’s new multi-year agreement with the SEC Network is valued at well over $100 million, instantly making him one of the highest-paid college football analysts in sports broadcasting history.
This landmark deal includes not only on-camera duties but also executive production rights, podcast exclusives, and a digital media empire under the SEC Network’s growing brand umbrella.
> “This is about legacy. It’s about the future of college football storytelling — and I’m ready to lead that charge,” Pollack said in a surprise announcement streamed to nearly a million viewers online.
👋 Goodbye ESPN, Hello SEC Powerhouse
Pollack’s sudden exit from ESPN shocked fans and colleagues alike. After being unceremoniously let go in 2023 during ESPN’s talent overhaul, many assumed Pollack would fade into the background or pivot to a non-sports role. Instead, he kept quiet — until now.
With this SEC Network move, Pollack flips the script and positions himself as the face of the Southeastern Conference’s media dominance heading into the next era of super-conferences and billion-dollar TV deals.
🔥 What This Means for the College Football Landscape
This blockbuster signing is more than just a media shake-up — it’s a declaration. The SEC Network is going head-to-head with ESPN, leveraging Pollack’s massive fanbase, insider knowledge, and Southern football roots to carve out a commanding new voice in sports media.
Expect:
A new flagship Saturday show hosted by Pollack
Exclusive behind-the-scenes SEC access
In-depth player profiles, NIL stories, and coaching drama
Bold, unfiltered takes that Pollack was never quite free to give under ESPN’s umbrella
