Lee Corso Retiring From ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ After 38 Years & One More Show

Lee Corso is retiring after nearly 40 years on ESPN's 'College GameDay.' He turns 90 in August and will call it a career after one more show a few weeks later.

Known for his headgear segment, in which he picked game winners by sporting the school’s helmet, mascot heads or such, Corso has been with the Worldwide Leader since ending his 28-year pro and college coaching career in 1987. He also played for the Florida State Seminoles and was roommates with its burgeoning star running back, Burt Reynolds. “Lee Corso has developed a special connection to generations of fans through his entertaining style and iconic headgear picks,” ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro said.
