ESPN's Bold Move with Lee Corso Sparks Industry-Wide Debate
On Thursday, countless media members and college football fans praised for ESPN for allowing Corso to retire on his own terms.Â
“In an industry where crisp delivery is considered vital and polish is prized, ESPN made a remarkable concession to Corso. The network let him be who he is after the stroke, and pretty much everyone was happy to see him still on the air. His presence was comforting to the masses,” Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated wrote. “He didn’t have to be perfect; he didn’t have to dominate the set; he didn’t have to be as madcap as he used to be. He was afforded some grace.”
