CBS Sports announces broadcast team for Ohio State opener

College football will look very different this fall and not just because we now have a 12-team playoff or conference realignment. CBS which has aired SEC games for close to three decades signed a deal with the Big Ten this past year and will begin coverage this fall.

The first Big Ten game to air on CBS? None other than your Ohio State Buckeyes! Ryan Day and the Bucks will begin their quest for a national championship on August 31 when they take on the Akron Zips at Ohio Stadium.

CBS Sports will be bringing out the big dogs as it kicks off this new relationship with the Big Ten. It was announced that Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson, and Jenny Dell will provide commentary during the game.

It will be interesting and different to hear this crew doing Big Ten games. The duo of Nessler and Danielson have been a mainstay on Saturday afternoons for years. Many fans would argue the duo, especially Danielson have had a bias for the SEC in the past. Will they be able to switch allegiances after so many years in the South? Time will tell, but one thing is for sure… a new era is upon us.
