TNT Sports Announces Mountain West Football Commentators Featuring Victor Cruz, More

TNT Sports is set to begin its first season of Mountain West football coverage, and the network officially has its new lineup of commentators in place.

In a Wednesday release, TNT announced that studio coverage throughout the 2024 season will feature former NFL stars Victor Cruz, Champ Bailey and Takeo Spikes as lead analysts. Adam Lefkoe will host the studio shows.

This will mark the first foray into full-time broadcasting for Bailey, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the greatest cornerbacks of all time. Cruz previously worked as an NFL analyst on ESPN, and Spikes served as an analyst for the SEC Network, NBC Sports, SiriusXM and Sky Sports.

The coverage of Mountain West football will begin with a Week 1 matchup between San Jose State and Sacramento State on Thursday, Aug. 29, at 10 p.m. ET on truTV and Max. Play-by-play announcer Ari Wolfe, analyst Darius Walker and reporter Jared Greenberg will call the game.

In Week 2 and on doubleheader nights from that point on, play-by-play announcer J.B. Long and analyst Mike Golic Jr. will call games as well.

The 2024 season marks the return of college football to TNT Sports for the first time since 2006. TNT Sports will also broadcast two first-round College Football Playoff games during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, with two quarterfinal games being added each year starting in 2026 through 2028.
