“Unraveling the Viral Hoax: What Really Happened Behind College GameDay’s ‘Big Change’?”
This story from Saturday Blitz was just an April Fools’ Day prank.
Here’s the “report” from Saturday Blitz:
ESPN College GameDay, which has been broadcast live from colleges across the country every Saturday morning since 1993, will now return to a studio-only show, featuring a drastically reduced cast. The move is being touted as a cost-saving decision, given the network’s financial struggles.
“We just can’t afford to keep flying all over the country, with truckloads of equipment every week,” chief of fawlty engineering Mike Brady told the press in a statement. “Pat McAfee’s salary alone tripled our cost over the past few seasons, and we simply can’t keep doing it. And have you seen how much that guy eats? The catering budget is ridiculous.”
