ESPN has made a decision on longtime ‘College GameDay’ analyst Lee Corso following some key offseason developments.
Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban will join the show next season, and Pat McAfee is also expected to return. The aforementioned factors have led to questions about Corso’s future, but it appears he is not going anywhere.
The 88-year-old will still have a role on the show, although it might be reduced given the new addition, as well as his age. But he’s made it clear that he isn’t planning on going anywhere.
“I’m gonna be like that guy in Vaudeville,” he told GQ magazine late last year. “They hook him around the neck, and they pull him off the stage as he keeps talking.”
ESPN has also confirmed that Corso will stay on.
“For those of you who wanted clarity on Nick Saban as it relates to Lee Corso. An ESPN Spokesperson confirms: Corso will be back on College GameDay next year,” Richard Deitsch of The Athletic reported.
