The weekly program will lead off with Texas Tech and provide fans an in-depth, all-access look at the Red Raiders. 

The “Big 12 Studios” produced magazine-style show Inside the 12 will air on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 7 p.m., on truTV and HBO Max. The weekly preview will be hosted by Pete Sousa and Taylor McHargue.  

Bleacher Report will showcase the most compelling storylines, key moments and top players 24/7 across its social platforms including House of Highlights and the B/R CFB, its college football-focused vertical.
