Awful Announcing has learned that Chris Fallica, affectionately known as “The Bear”, will soon be leaving ESPN and headed to Fox. It is believed this Saturday will be his final appearance on College GameDay where there may be a sendoff for the long-time ESPN employee.

It’s believed that Fallica will be joining Big Noon Kickoff, Fox’s College GameDay competitor, which would be the second notable name to make the ESPN and Gameday switch over to Fox and Big Noon Kickoff (the other being Tom Rinaldi).

I always figured he started at ESPN as a janitor and they were short a guy on set one day and he got his big break.

Fallica is a ESPN lifer and helped build their college football coverage since the early 90s.

Bigger question is why are these guys jumping ship? Is Fox just overpaying or is their a reason to leave ESPN/GameDay?

It’s about money.

ESPN is hemorrhaging money and Disney is very selective about who they throw money at.
