To help kick off the SEC Network, one of ESPN's newest analysts and one of the greatest to ever play college football in the SEC will be front and center. Tim Tebow, a Heisman Trophy winner, is returning to Gainesville, Fla. to visit the University of Florida campus.
Tebow led the Florida Gators to two National Championships and was nominated for a second Heisman Trophy. Tebow will be an analyst on a show called "SEC Nation," which is similar to "College Gameday," but just for the conference. Thursday is also Tebow's 27th birthday.
According to GetSECNetwork.com, fans of the Alabama Crimson Tide have "demanded" the SEC Network most, followed by fans of Texas A&M, Tennessee, Auburn and Kentucky.
SEC Network will air 45 football games, 100 men's basketball games, 60 women's basketball games, 50 softball games, 75 baseball games, 25 women's soccer games and 40 volleyball games.
Other shows include "the Paul Finebaum Show" (radio), "SEC Storied," "SEC Rewind" and "SEC Now."

Texas A&M at South Carolina - Aug. 28 at 6 p.m.
