UCLA's Troy Aikman all but confirms he'll leave ESPN at end of season
It sure is sounding as if UCLA alum Troy Aikman will be leaving ESPN following the conclusion of this season.
UCLA football's most recognizable alum, Troy Aikman, is reportedly considering leaving ESPN after his current contract expires at the end of the season. This news was brought to light during Monday Night Football's broadcast of the Buffalo Bills versus Los Angeles Rams game, where Aikman and ESPN broadcast partner Joe Buck engaged in a pregame argument.
Aikman and Buck have been consistently ranked among the premier football broadcasting teams in recent years, but their future together may be uncertain. Joe Buck has already secured a long-term contract extension with ESPN, which contrasts with Aikman's status as a free agent. During an interview on 96.7 Ticket, Aikman suggested that there may be an appropriate time for their disagreements to be addressed, but he does not believe the present moment is ideal.
Aikman expressed his intention to broadcast through the remainder of the season and awaits his next professional move, looking forward to the Super Bowl and beyond.
