Kirk Herbstreit finds ESPN guilty of limited college football coverage

The longtime ESPN college football analyst doesn't think his employer has done enough to promote the sport on a consistent basis.

Kirk Herbstreit, a long-time face of college football coverage at ESPN, believes his employer is not dedicating enough attention to the sport. During a recent episode of the Bussin with the Boys podcast, Herbstreit criticized ESPN for their focus on other popular sports like the NFL, LeBron James, and the NBA and WNBA. He questioned why there was little to no coverage of college football unless there was controversy.

Herbstreit argued that college football is the second-biggest sport and should be given more attention on ESPN. He expressed a desire for more consistent college football narratives throughout the week, rather than occasional highlights.
