Here’s another thing that came out of left field. Erin Andrews, the former darling of ESPN is leaving and will most likely join Fox for its college football coverage.
Josh Krulewitz of ESPN public relations confirmed Erin’s departure just a few minutes ago.
Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch reported this afternoon that Fox had entered the picture and was “heavily pursuing” Andrews.
Another ESPN spokesman, Mike Humes tweeted this statement:
Erin Andrews leaving ESPN. She did great work for us & we made aggressive offer to keep her. Wish her best on her next chapter
