Fox is attempting to mimic its big-name NFL and MLB studio-show success by loading up with marquee hires to make a potential run at ESPN’s “College GameDay,” The Post has learned.

Fox has signed what it feels, as one source put it, is a “Mount Rushmore of college football over the last 15 years,” for its new, yet-to-be-named Saturday morning pregame show that will air on network TV.

Sources say Fox has hired former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer and one of the greatest running backs in the college game’s history, Reggie Bush, for its new team.

Meyer and Bush will join Bush’s former USC teammate and fellow Heisman winner Matt Leinart, ex-Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and host Rob Stone for the show that will air at 11 a.m. Saturdays on Fox, beginning in the fall.

USC guy? Check
tOSU guy? Check
Notre Dame guy? Check

All they need to do now is find a Michigan Man and they will have literally stolen a page out of the ESPN playbook.

I'll watch. GameDay has been fricking awful ever since it went to 3 hours. I'm trying to watch previews of game and see some insight as to how the game is playing. I don't want to see stores about some Hawaiian family or a kid with foot cancer. They added an hour to add more fluff pieces.

If it's on Fox it might have a chance. If it's on FS1 it will get blown out of the water just like the rest of their CFB coverage.

Initially, Fox’s show will mostly emanate from its Los Angeles studios, but it will take its program on the road for a handful of games that will be showcased on Fox.
