Retirement calls for Lee Corso after latest College GameDay health issue absence

LEE CORSO has had fans fearing for his health after missing the latest episode of College GameDay.

The 89-year-old has had a number of health issues over the years, as he continues his illustrious career.

He suffered a stroke 15 years ago and has struggled with his speech ever since.

That had led to compassionate viewers pleading for him to retire from the ESPN show.

But he has remained ever since, and has fought on as he gets on in age.

However, College GameDay watchers were worried after he missed the latest instalment of the show.

The program headed to Berkeley for the first time in its history on Saturday morning.

They were building up to the California Golden Bears taking on the Miami Hurricanes.

But Corso's absence was the talk of social media networking site X.

One user said: "Oh, now Corso's absence means fewer signature headgear moments.

"Been watching him since the first game day at ND/FSU in 93 but it's time for him to retire."

A third commented: "I don't think Lee was fit for this environment."

Another said: "Sad not seeing Lee Corso on the show."

A fifth replied: "It might be time for Corso to retire. What a legend."

GameDay host Rece Davis addressed his absence on the live broadcast.

He also made it clear he would be back in the near future following his health scare.

"Lee Corso, a little bit under the weather," said Davis.

Corso has been an analyst on College GameDay since it first started on ESPN in 1987.
