ESPN parts with big-name national college football reporter

Huge news out of the college football world.

For the first time in more than 10 years, Joe Schad will not be part of ESPN's college football coverage, per Sports Illustrated.

According to the report, Schad and the network will part ways following a partnership that began in 2005 and ended after his contract expired in 2016. He worked on College GameDay, College Football Live and SportsCenter, and he spent time as a sideline reporter. 

Awful Announcing speculates Schad's next (and most logical) landing as Fox Sports.
