The Unofficial Furman Football Page

Formerly espn-upstate. Will FU games be broadcast again on 97.7 and 97.1 like last year? IIRC there was supposed to be a new agreement earlier this year. Even Dan mentiined that it was a done deal. I never saw an announcement. I think since then the station switched to CBS Sports so I am wondering now if the agreement to broadcast games is not in place. There is no mention of being the flagship station on their website. Anyone know?

It’s a done deal. Just sent them a promo today.

Last year we had most games on ESPN+. I haven't seen any indication that we do this coming year?

Yes It’s a SoCon game.

Thanks for the info.

This is great news. I have started listening to The Fan upstate online in Kentucky. Hoping the online feed lines up well with the ESPN broadcast

FYI the current SoCon/ESPN media deal goes thru the 2025-26 season.
