ESPN announced Thursday that Fowler had signed a nine-year contract extension through 2023. The network said a day earlier that Brent Musburger was leaving "Saturday Night Football" and will do games for the SEC Network.

Fowler will continue to host "College GameDay" on Saturday mornings, then travel to the site of the prime-time game if it's in a different location, as analyst Kirk Herbstreit already does.

Fowler has hosted "GameDay" since 1990 and has work with Herbstreit since 1996.
