ESPN plans special programming to honor his legacy as a cherished part of college football Saturdays.
His final broadcast will be Aug. 30, Week 1 of the 2025 college football season, with additional programming planned to celebrate Corso's career.
Corso, who turns 90 in August, has gone 286-144 in 430 selections wearing everything from helmets and mascot heads to dressing up as the Fighting Irish leprechaun.
