TNT is broadcasting Big XIi games this year. Takeo will join Champ Bailey and a couple of others as studio talent. Press release.

Also saw on Twitter that Chizik is retiring again (from what?) and is returning to SEC Network as a studio analyst.

He’d been coaching at UNC under Mack Brown but wasn’t coaching last year, so I take it to mean he’s permanently ending his coaching career.

He’s a good analyst so it’ll be good to have him back on SEC network.

I'm happy for Takeo. Kinda weird they went with 2 former SEC players for a Big 12 show.

I'm guessing that they will be working out of Turner's Atlanta studio. Maybe it was easier to use nearby talent than have to fly in folks with more Big 12 experience.

Also, I wonder if Chizik will leave Auburn for the Charlotte area? His last SECN stint I think he would drive up Friday and drive back Sunday, but his son was in school at Greenville so he would stop by to visit him.

It was good to have him back on SEC Now. He’s a very good analyst.
