A rumor circulating about ESPN College GameDay analyst Pat McAfee claimed he planned to join the popular college football pregame show remotely over Zoom because of unspecified security concerns. According to Yahoo Sports, that claim does not hold up and McAfee made no such statement.

The fact check found no evidence McAfee ever discussed joining GameDay virtually for safety reasons, pushing back on a story that had been spreading among fans and on social media.

Yahoo Sports did not report any details suggesting McAfee's in-person appearances on the show are changing, leaving the original rumor without any factual basis.
