ESPN chief Burke Magnus has given an update on Lee Corso’s future after his recent absences.
The legendary broadcaster has missed several College GameDay shows on Saturday this year due to health problems.

But despite some spot on picks, perhaps age is beginning to take toll on the 89-year-old after appearing forgetful during a show last month.
Some viewers called for Corso to retire and said it was “getting worse by the week”.
On whether this season could be his last on screens, ESPN president Magnus said on the Jimmy Traina podcast: “Listen, I think we’re going to do what we’ve done now for a couple of years running.
“We’re going to have a conversation with him after the season, see where things are.
“He’s a special guy. He’s one of the nicest men any of your listeners or anyone on Earth has ever come across.
“He’s been absolutely iconic on the show.”
“We’re going to get through the play-off this year. Let everyone decompress, and then we have have some time to figure out what we’re going to do for next season.”
College GameDay were in Indiana for the first time since 2017 at the weekend and there were tributes to Corso.
The panellist spent nine year coaching the Hoosiers from 1973 to 1982.
Corso was on top of a double-decker bus, wearing a classic Indiana jumper as he recalled the glory days from his first game in charge to the Holiday Bowl win in 1979.
