If The Worldwide Leader was expecting a joyous reaction from college football fans, it was sorely mistaken.
ESPN immediately faced a Twitter backlash with people wondering why GameDay would go to a place that has nothing to do with college football, especially when games like #20 TCU at #9 Oklahoma State are taking place.

Beautiful campus. Should have lots of student involvement. #sarcasm

Let's take College out of College Game Day and see how it works, WTF?

Here’s hoping “GameDay” reconsiders its decision and puts the show back on a college campus, where it belongs.
