ESPN has released its crews for the upcoming college football season.
Pam Ward is still employed.
Doug Flutie and Bonnie Bernstein are out of the picture. As is Paul McGuire.
Matt Millen for some inexplicable reason will be doing college football analysis on ABC afternoon games with Sean McDonough.
Jesse Palmer is getting more exposure.
Bob Griese is fading. Down from the ABC afternoon games to the ESPN noon games with Chris Spielman and Dave Pasch.
Erin Andrews will be on the sidelines for Thursday and Saturday night.
College GameDay is unchanged with Fowler, Corso and Herbstreit with Howard hanging around.
Studio shows College Football Final will remain unchanged with Rece Davis, Lou Holtz and Mark May.
Big East regional games will be Mike Gleason and John Congemi with Quint Kessinich on the sidelines.
ESPNews Overdrive show will include Dari Nowkah, Shaun King and Kordell Stewart.
ESPN has built quite an empire — they have this big corp filled with ex-jocks and newpapermen, who interview each other for ‘expert’ analyis as well as refer to each other as geniuses. There are certainly some very able sports journalists and analysts but, by and large, they are often inaccurate and are very overrated … except Erin Andrews of course.
Having said all of this, I am OK with the Big East Regional team.
