ESPN has announced that ESPNU will debut the University of Alabama football program, in the hour-long College Football Special: Alabama All-Access Wednesday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. ET.
ESPN will also broadcast the program on Thursday, Aug. 19, at 8 PM ET with Crimson Tide providing unprecedented access into the inner workings of a college football program, by giving viewers a first-time look at practices, team meetings and campus facilities for eight days.
Excerpts from the special will be featured on nightly half-hour prime-time shows Monday, Aug. 9 -Friday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU (re-air, midnight). These shows will include segments devoted to the analysis of the Crimson Tides’ offense, defense and special teams.
