Gus Johnson lands at Fox Sports

Not even a full twenty-four hours after ending his relationship with CBS Sports, Gus Johnson has started a new relationship with Fox Sports.  Gus Johnson today has been named the voice of college football for Fox Sports as well as continuing his role with the Big 10 Network and it's coverage of men's basketball.  In addition, once the college football season winds down, Johnson will call select NFL games on Fox Sports.

According to a press release from Fox Sports, Johnson will team with Charles Davis to call college football action for Big 12, Conference USA and Pac-12 regular-season games on FX, two games on the Big 10 Network, one of Fox Sport's conference championship games (either the Pac 12 Championship Game or the Big 10 Championship Game), and will conclude the college football season with The Cotton Bowl in early January.

This is a great move by Fox Sports, the creation of the Gus Johnson & Charles Davis team to be Fox Sports #1 college football announcing team goes a long way to getting Fox Sports full time coverage of college football off the ground.  This team will be 1000% better than what Fox Sports rolled out for it's BCS coverage.
