Lee Corso Opts Out of Indiana vs. Miami Championship Game

Lee Corso will not attend the much-anticipated Indiana vs. Miami championship game. This match takes place on Monday, January 19, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Indiana’s Journey to the Championship

Under the leadership of Curt Cignetti, Indiana has transformed into an undefeated force in college football. The team is now vying for its first national championship title in program history.

Lee Corso’s Legacy at Indiana

Lee Corso is a renowned figure in college football, known for his role on ESPN’s “College GameDay.” He coached Indiana from 1973 to 1982, securing 41 wins over ten seasons. His notable achievement was leading the Hoosiers to the Holiday Bowl in 1979, where they claimed their first bowl victory by defeating Brigham Young.

Corso’s Absence from the Championship Game

At 90 years old, Corso retired from broadcasting earlier this season. Although he lives in Florida, his family announced that he will not attend the game. His son, Steve Corso, stated on ESPN Radio, “My dad’s going to be at home, watching the game, with my mom.”

Steve indicated that this would be a special moment as his parents have not had the opportunity to watch many games together, especially one featuring the Hoosiers.

Potential Game Day Connection

While Corso will be at home, his son plans to be at the game and may FaceTime Corso during halftime. If Indiana wins, Steve mentioned they would likely have another video call to celebrate.
