The college football landscape is changing daily, and that includes the analyst and personalities at ESPN as well.
According to Sports Business Daily, Mark May is out at College Football Final, although he’ll still have a role with the network.
ESPN will have a trio of new faces on its popular postgame college football studio show this season, according to several sources.
The network has settled on Adnan Virk to host the show, with Joey Galloway and Danny Kanell providing analysis. The three also will appear in-studio during halftime and after games. They will be featured on both ABC and ESPN.
Virk, Galloway and Kanell replace Rece Davis, Lou Holtz and Mark May, who had been with “College Football Final” since 2005.
Davis, who hosted “College Football Final” since 1999, is moving over to host ESPN’s popular college football pregame show, “College GameDay.” May, who has been with the show since 2001, is moving to another college-focused studio show with host John Saunders and former Texas coach Mack Brown. Holtz retired in April.
May and Lou Holtz were joined at the hip for years, but with Rece Davis now entrenched as the host of College Gameday, that entire College Football Final trio has been replaced.
