QB Kirk ‘Nightmare On’ Herbstreit (Frosted Quips, Afraid of THE Lunatic Fringe)



“I'm sad,” Herbstreit said during a media availability at Ohio State on Friday when asked about the Big Ten leaving ESPN. “I love Ohio State, I love the Big Ten, I love coming into these stadiums. It's a highlight for me any time we can come here, obviously, or go to Penn State or Wisconsin or any of the (Big Ten stadiums).”

“Who knows what will happen after that (the new seven-year Big Ten contract)? So I don't think it's the end of my opportunities in my career, but for that time period, it will be,” Herbstreit said. “So yeah, I definitely wasn't celebrating it. But it's the business like we're all seeing. Everything's evolving in this sport. Everything's changing. I'm trying to keep an open mind to all of it and just do the best I can through it.

“But again, I'm not really like closing the door on, I don't know where I'm going in my career. I just signed a new five-year deal with Amazon and ESPN. Five years from now, I don't know what I'll be doing. I don't even know if I'll be doing college football in five years. But my hope is to come back, to get a chance on a weekly basis to call games in the Big Ten. That would be my hope.”
