Why Is Brent Musburger Retiring? ESPN Sports Broadcaster Calling It Quits
One of the all-time great sports broadcasters is set to call it quits. Brent Musburger will announce his final game on Jan. 31, marking the end of a legendary career. Wednesday’s announcement was unexpected, coming just six days before Musburger will say goodbye as he broadcasts ESPN’s college basketball telecast between Kentucky and Georgia. Musburger, 77, has been in the industry for nearly 50 years, and he joined ABC/ESPN in 1990 after gaining prominence with CBS.
