Reggie Bush likely out at Fox, Alabama football star could replace him: report
We could see a changeover on the Big Noon Kickoff program on Fox as the 2023 college football season draws near, as former USC star and current analyst Reggie Bush is not expected to be a part of the program going forward, according to a report from New York Post media analyst Andrew Marchand.
Bush is expected to leave the Fox network and its flagship college football program as a result of a contract dispute. The two sides apparently disagreed over how much Bush should receive in the role over the last year and now the negotiations have come to a point where the two sides could not come to an agreement.
Set to replace Bush on the airwaves could be former Alabama football star Mark Ingram, with the two apparently close to an understanding.
Fox also considered current ESPN football analysts Desmond Howard and Robert Griffin III, according to the Post, but did not make any formal offers to either.
If Ingram accepts the role, he will have to retire from the NFL. The running back is currently on the New Orleans Saints roster and in his career has scored 65 touchdowns while amassing over 8,000 rushing yards.
But nothing is certain as of yet, with Ingram still potentially returning to the NFL instead of taking the media job.
Ingram was the first Heisman Trophy winner in Alabama history, taking home college football's highest individual honor in 2009, when the Crimson Tide won their first national championship under head coach Nick Saban.
