Despite several deleted tweets, ESPN is still coming to Knoxville for the Tennessee-Alabama game. One of the top personalities in all of sports confirmed as much in his own Tweet on Monday evening. One of the hosts of College GameDay, which is set to broadcast live from campus this weekend, Kirk Herbstreit tried to set the record straight.

Just wanted to let people know @CollegeGameDay is 1000% coming to Knoxville this weekend-we are fired up to come back to town-
our ENTIRE crew can’t wait to get there and give this game the love and hype it deserves-see ya in Knoxville this weekend! @Vol_Football @AlabamaFTBL

Fans throughout the day noticed that several tweets announcing the ESPN various broadcasts in Knoxville had been deleted on Monday. Herbstreit didn’t seem fully sure why the Tweets were deleted, but offered some insight.

Not sure the details. Guessing a copyright issue with the music our social team used. But we’re coming and whatever was taken down wasn’t anything more than that. Sorry for any confusion. https://t.co/1KNEa9C0bl
