ESPN’s Lee Corso Disappeared From ‘College GameDay’ Set, and Fans Were Distressed

It’s difficult to imagine College GameDay without Lee Corso, but for a few minutes during Saturday morning’s show in Durham, N.C., football fans got an uncomfortable glimpse at what that reality might look like.

As the ESPN crew began to make its picks for the day’s slate, Corso was bizarrely absent from the set, and his chair remained empty for several minutes.

Thankfully, all is well.
