With her contract set to expire (end of June) it looks as though Erin Andrews has spent her final days at ESPN. Although no official announcement by the network has been made, Josh Krulewitz who does PR for ESPN tweeted the following…
Erin Andrews leaving ESPN. She did great work for us & we made an aggressive offer to keep her. We wish her the best on her next chapter

Just hours before Krulewitz’s announcement, Richard Deitsch of SI.com wrote that FOX was making an “aggressive” offer to Andrews and that she would play a “major role” in the college football coverage on the network.
So let me get this straight, ESPN allows both Michelle Beadle and Erin Andrews go in the same year but keep both Skip Bayless and Chris Berman around? It sounds like someone needs to be fired over at the four letter network.
Beadle left ESPN back in May when her contract expired. She recently took a job at NBC Sports and will eventually become the host of Access Hollywood.
