ESPN College GameDay Veterans Lee Corso, Gene Wojciechowski Exit After Decades

ESPN's iconic college football pregame show, College GameDay, is set to undergo significant changes in 2025 with the departure of two longtime key members. Lee Corso, the legendary analyst known for his entertaining 'helmet pick' segment and coaching background, will retire following his final show in late August. Additionally, veteran reporter Gene Wojciechowski, who had a 27-year tenure with ESPN and was a prominent face on College GameDay, officially ended his run with the network in May 2025 after being laid off during ESPN's 2023 downsizing. Wojciechowski, praised for his brilliant writing and storytelling, received widespread tributes from colleagues including host Rece Davis and Kirk Herbstreit, highlighting his impact on college football coverage. Davis expressed sadness over these departures, emphasizing both men's dedication, friendship, and significant contributions to the sport's narrative and culture. These changes mark the end of an era for College GameDay as it prepares to continue without two of its most influential figures.
