The legendary ESPN college football analyst is gearing up for what should be a historic season. It'll be the final one for Lee Corso, who is retiring following the Week 1 show in Columbus. Corso, 89, is deciding to call it a career.
'My family and I will be forever indebted for the opportunity to be part of ESPN and College GameDay for nearly 40 years,' said Corso. 'I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement.'
Corso added: 'ESPN has been exceptionally generous to me, especially these past few years. They accommodated me and supported me, as did my colleagues in the early days of College GameDay. Special thanks to Kirk Herbstreit for his friendship and encouragement. And lest I forget, the fans…truly a blessing to share this with them. ESPN gave me this wonderful opportunity and provided me the support to ensure success. I am genuinely grateful.'

Herbstreit took to X, formerly known as Twitter, with a message for fans of the show on Monday. His beloved golden retriever, Peter, is excited for Week 1 of the 2025 college football season. He'll be in Columbus, Ohio for the first show of the year.
"Peter is having a great summer! But can tell he's already ready for August 30th!" Herbstreit announced.

Oklahoma State women's tennis program gets three years' probation for recruiting violations
The Oklahoma State women's tennis program of coach Chris Young has been put on probation by the NCAA for recruiting violations. STILLWATER — The Oklahoma State women's tennis team has received a three-year probation sentence from the NCAA for recruiting violations. OSU director of tennis and women's head coach Chris Young improperly contacted potential transfers before the athlete was in the transfer portal and told a player not to cooperate with the investigation, which is a violation of head coach responsibility rules. The news was initially reported by College Tennis Nation. Advertisement The program will serve a three-year probation and pay a fine of $35,000 plus 1% of the women's tennis program budget. It will reduce its official visits by 18% based on the average number of visits for the previous four years. The school prohibited unofficial visits for 10 weeks during the spring of 2025 and prohibited off-campus recruiting for 10 weeks during the 2024-25 academic year. It also prohibited recruiting communications for three weeks during the 2024-25 school year. Such communications will also be prohibited for seven weeks during the coming school year. Young must fulfill a four-year show-cause order, during which he is not allowed to communicate with prospective transfers in December for each year of the order. He is suspended from two regular-season contests during the 2025-26 season.

Legendary Singer-Songwriter, 78, Plays What Bob Dylan Called the 'Best Song Ever Written' in 'Brilliant' New Video
Legendary Singer-Songwriter, 78, Plays What Bob Dylan Called the 'Best Song Ever Written' in 'Brilliant' New Video originally appeared on Parade. When it comes to staying power, few songs in contemporary music history stack up to "Wichita Lineman." Written by iconic songwriter Jimmy Webb for country singer Glen Campbell in 1968, the chart-topping tune has been covered by many other legendary artists in the years since (from Johnny Cash to James Taylor to Smokey Robinson and more) and countless others — like Bob Dylan — consider it one of the best songs of all time. In a video shared to TikTok this week, Webb, 78, demonstrated how to play "Wichita Lineman" on the piano, explaining the various chord progressions and occasionally singing along. "Bob Dylan once called this the 'greatest song ever written,'" the caption read. Commenters were quick to agree with the "Like a Rolling Stone" singer, with one writing, "Bob Dylan was right!" "Just brilliant. One of the most moving songs of all time. So much longing and regret," added a second fan. "A great and beautiful song. Genius," someone else commented, with another chiming in to say, "This may be my favorite song ever." Dylan gave his oft-quoted opinion on the classic track via the cover of Dylan Jones' Wichita Lineman: Searching in the Sun for the World's Greatest Unfinished Song, as American Songwriter reported. In 2020, Webb spoke to the same outlet about another famous musician's take on the tune, saying, 'Billy Joel came pretty close one time when he said 'Wichita Lineman is a simple song about an ordinary man thinking extraordinary thoughts'. That got to me; it actually brought tears to my eyes. I had never really told anybody how close to the truth that was.'Legendary Singer-Songwriter, 78, Plays What Bob Dylan Called the 'Best Song Ever Written' in 'Brilliant' New Video first appeared on Parade on Jul 3, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
