On Friday afternoon, Richard Deitsch of SI.com reported that Erin Andrews was being "aggressively" pursued by Fox Sports and the two sides had even met recently to discuss a role.
We're assuming ESPN saw that report because shortly after the story posted, ESPN PR tweeted out confirmation that Andrews is leaving.
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.

Her contract was set to expire at the end of this month.
If she ends up agreeing to a deal with Fox Sports, it's expected to be a "major role" in their college football coverage, according to Deitsch.
