Penn State fans might be in store for a lot more Matt Millen.
The former Nittany Lion All-American is reportedly joining Fox, and that could increase his presence in the television sports world.
According to Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand, who reported the news, Millen will be departing ESPN and begin working for FOX Sports. That move will reportedly have Millen working with the Big Ten Network as the network’s lead college football analyst in addition to time with FOX Sports 1 studio shows.
FOX Sports owns 51 percent of BTN, so Millen will likely be seen on both networks. Millen has called several Penn State games in the past, but only when the Nittany Lions were featured on ABC.
Millen was an all-American defensive tackle at Penn State and was drafted in the second round of the 1980 NFL draft and won four Super Bowls during his professional career. He also spent a seven year stint as the Detroit Lions’ CEO and general manager from 2001 through 2007.
