USA Network will return to college football coverage next month with the Pac-12 Conference, and the network has revealed its broadcast teams for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

USA Sports reached a five-year agreement with the Pac-12 in November 2025<\/a>. USA Network will air 22 regular-season football games per season, in addition to 50 regular-season men\u2019s basketball games, 5-10 regular-season women\u2019s basketball games, and all games of the Pac-12 men\u2019s basketball tournament, except the championship game.<\/p>\n

The Pac-12 also reached separate agreements with CBS and The CW.<\/p>\n

Nate Gatter, Ryan Leaf and Lauren Green will be<\/a> the lead broadcast team for Pac-12 coverage on USA Sports. Ted Robinson, Darius Walker, and Dalen Cuff will be the No. 2 team. In weeks when USA Network has a third game, Guy Haberman, Alex Brink, and Kate Harrison will be on the call.<\/p>\n

Gatter is best known for his work on the radio with Westwood One. He was the network\u2019s lead college football play-by-play announcer and also called select NFL and college basketball games for the network.<\/p>\n

Ryan Leaf is a former Washington State quarterback who has been doing college football color commentary for several different networks in recent years. He has called games for The CW, ESPN, and Pac-12 Network. Leaf will also do college basketball color commentary for USA.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sideline reporter Lauren Green has had a similar role with the Utah Jazz. She previously worked as a sideline reporter for the Pac-12 Network.<\/p>\n

The most recognizable name joining USA Network\u2019s Pac-12 coverage may be Ted Robinson, who served as the lead play-by-play voice for Pac-12 Network throughout its entire existence. He also called San Francisco Giants games for nine years and has worked tennis majors including the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, and Roland Garros.<\/p>\n

In the studio, Lisa Kerney will serve as host alongside Erik Coleman. Darius Walker, who is also the No. 2 color commentator, will serve as a studio analyst for select weeks. It is not clear where the studio coverage will be hosted. For the network\u2019s WNBA coverage this year, USA has used NBC Sports studios.<\/p>\n

The Pac-12 on USA Network will begin with a doubleheader on September 5 featuring Wyoming-Colorado State and Portland State-San Diego State. USA Network will have doubleheaders in seven of the 13 weeks of the season, along with a tripleheader in Week 3. Seventeen of 22 games will start at either 6 p.m. ET or 9:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"USA Network will return to college football coverage next month with the Pac-12 Conference, and the network has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":805208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,18497,99,157690],"class_list":["post-805207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-pac-12-football","tag-sports","tag-usa-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=805207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/805208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=805207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=805207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=805207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
