How to watch the South Carolina Gamecocks' SEC Network Takeover and what can be seen
By Kevin Miller
South Carolina Gamecocks fans typically have not had the option to watch their favorite teams play on July 4th. For the most part, outside of watching the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest (which will not include Joey Chestnut this year), the WNBA, Major League Baseball, or various smaller sports, athletics viewing is limited on Independence Day.
That is changing this year. Earlier this week, ESPN released its schedule for the SEC Network Takeovers that will be on the SEC Network and ESPN app for over two weeks straight.
On Thursday, the South Carolina Gamecocks will be on television all day. USC will have its SEC Network Takeover on July 4th, meaning that 24 hours of garnet and black will grace television and streaming screens on the SEC Network and ESPN app. On Wednesday, the University of South Carolina's Athletic Department released the broadcasting schedule for the Takeover.
