College football fans were worried for Lee Corso’s health last night.
On Monday night, there were several rumors circulating on the Internet that something may have happened to Corso after the College GameDay Twitter account mysteriously deleted a post about going to Knoxville for this weekend’s Tennessee-Alabama game.
Guys if College Gameday has to cancel their trip due to a health issue and they don't go there. I bet not see Tennessee fans going crazy about it.
Now if they go to Penn State at Michigan, go for it.

Eventually, Kirk Herbstreit had to jump on Twitter to let everyone know that College GameDay and the “entire crew” were indeed going to Knoxville, and their post had to be deleted due to a copyright issue.
Just wanted to let people know @CollegeGameDay is 1000% coming to Knoxville this weekend-we are fired up to come back to town-
our ENTIRE crew can’t wait to get there and give this game the love and hype it deserves-see ya in Knoxville this weekend! @Vol_Football @AlabamaFTBL— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) October 11, 2022
Not sure the details. Guessing a copyright issue with the music our social team used. But we’re coming and whatever was taken down wasn’t anything more than that. Sorry for any confusion. https://t.co/1KNEa9C0bl

Someone started a rumor that Lee Corso passed away after College Gameday removed their posts about going to Knoxville. This seems to nip that in the bud. https://t.co/bI8Lb1Zf5P
