ESPN's Bold Move: The Unexpected Replacement of College GameDay Icon Lee Corso
The 89-year-old ESPN college football analyst announced this week that he will be retiring at the start of the 2025 season. Corso, who has been working for ESPN since the 1980s, will do one final show in late August. Then, he’ll call it a career.
“My family and I will be forever indebted for the opportunity to be part of ESPN and College GameDay for nearly 40 years,” said Corso. “I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement.”
Corso added: “ESPN has been exceptionally generous to me, especially these past few years. They accommodated me and supported me, as did my colleagues in the early days of College GameDay. Special thanks to Kirk Herbstreit for his friendship and encouragement. And lest I forget, the fans…truly a blessing to share this with them. ESPN gave me this wonderful opportunity and provided me the support to ensure success. I am genuinely grateful.”
