Lee Corso, the iconic figure of ESPN's College GameDay, will make his final appearance on August 30, 2025, during the 2025-26 college football season. With an illustrious career dating back to the show's 1987 launch, Corso's unique tradition of choosing team headgear to signify his picks since 1996 has endeared him to fans. As he approaches his last show, Corso expresses immense gratitude for nearly 40 years with ESPN, acknowledging the support from the network, his colleagues, and the fans who made this journey memorable.
As noted in ESPN's announcement, Corso has been with College GameDay since its inception in 1987. His tradition of donning the headgear of a mascot to display his pick for the week began in 1996.
I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement. Corso added: ESPN has been exceptionally generous to me, especially these past few years.
