CBS does college sports broadcasts better than ESPN

College football and college basketball games just feel huge when they’re on CBS.

Agreed.

CBS doesn’t seem to push certain agendas either, although I don’t watch a ton of CBS broadcasts.

CBS isn't infected with Disney wokeism

Hits the nail on the head. The music and announcing crews just give it a big game vibe

It’s all about resources. CBS invests in their coverage of both sports. ESPN cuts corners whenever possible.
March Madness is a huge CBS brand. They use the regular season to prepare for it. That includes a higher production value, even for random matchups with a small TV audience. ESPN isn’t going to spend any more money than absolutely necessary air a game with only 100,000 viewers. ESPN’s goal is to get the game on the air as cheap as possible.
CBS Sports Network broadcasts a few G5 football games each week, but their marquee game has been the Saturday afternoon SEC game. Everything from the cameramen to the spotters are first class. Maybe because their deal with the SEC was so advantageous to them monetarily, but they poured those resources back into the broadcast.
Basketball:
Higher quality because they use the regular season to prepare to the NCAA tournament, and they use their experience and lessons learned from broadcasting the tourney, and apply it to the regular season.
Football:
One game a week allows them to pour all their resources into that single game.

Serious question: what has Greg Sankey done that wasn’t insanely idiotic? Amazing he let CBS walk.

CBS and NBC have always been king of sports production
Posted on 2/24/24 at 2:11 pm to Roll Tide Ravens
Yep

Not saying you are one of those people but there was a ton of bashing CBS during football season and many years before.

Because they are idiots
CBS has amazing production. Sankey and the SEC are idiots for letting the Big Ten get the deal that they did
the SEC on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and SECN pales in comparison to FOX, NBC, and CBS.

CBS > FOX for NFL
Not even close.

How many college football games did CBS broadcast other than the SEC game of the week?
Posted on 2/24/24 at 2:51 pm to Roll Tide Ravens
Hands down. People bitched about Gary and Verne those CBS SEC broadcasts were iconic.

ESPN Hoops with Vitale, Raftery,etc..and Saturday Night ESPN Football with Ron Franklin, Mike Gottfried, Adrian Karsten, Jerry Punch was the very best..
Then Mickey Mouse showed up and Leftist lurched the network into shite.

That's because their games start on a Saturday and end on a Sunday.

Because it was almost always the SEC Game of the Week.
Won’t feel like that when it’s 5-3 Indiana going into the dangerous road environment of 2-6 Northwestern.
