Matt Millen leaving ESPN for FOX Sports/Big Ten Network

May 25, 2015

Good news, fans: you won’t have to hear Matt Millen on ESPN in the future.

The bad news is you’ll be seeing him on FOX Sports and the Big Ten Network.

Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand reported Monday that Millen is leaving ESPN for FOX Sports, which owns 51 percent of Big Ten Network. He says Millen will serve as the network’s top college football analyst and be paired with Kevin Kugler for calling games.

In addition to calling college football games for the network, Millen will appear on college football and NFL shows for FS1.

Working for the Big Ten Network makes sense for Millen as he played his college ball at Penn State.

You know what we ingratiate you with fans, Millen? Less blathering in the booth and more awesome stories like this one.
