I share this next news with mixed emotions: beloved sideline reporter . The news broke minutes ago on Twitter, and although I’m incredibly happy for Shannon, who will cover a variety of sports in her new job at Fox Sports, it probably means we won’t see her as often on UK’s sidelines. Over the years, Shannon has become a fixture on ESPN’s SEC broadcasts, to the point that she traveled with Kentucky for the majority of the 2014-2015 season on their pursuit of perfection. During that time, she’s become a friend to me, both personally and professionally.
Our sadness aside, Shannon’s new gig at Fox Sports sounds awesome.
