Laura Rutledge reportedly signs new deal with ESPN, will be permanent fixture on morning show
Laura Rutledge is one of the fastest rising sports media personalities on any network, and now, according to the Big Lead, she just signed a long-term extension with ESPN.
Rutledge will be a permanent fixture on “Get Up,” co-hosting ESPN’s morning show with Mike Greenberg. The show’s ratings increased when Rutledge joined Greenberg, as the two have great chemistry. In addition to “Get Up,” Rutledge will still be hosting SEC Nation and featured on the SEC Network. She’ll now just have more responsibility with the network.
She recently rejoined SEC Nation following her maternity leave, and she’s expected to return to “Get Up” in December. Rutledge, Tim Tebow, Marcus Spears and Paul Finebaum travel to campuses for SEC Nation every week.
Rutledge joined the SEC Network in 2014 as a reporter. She last signed a multi-year extension in 2018.
Prior to joining ESPN, Rutledge was a sports anchor for CNN’s New Day and Early Start. She also worked for FOX Sports.
Eh… she’s no Maria Taylor.
What makes Taylor better?
She’s a dawg for starters.
Yeah I know. She and my wife went to school together.
I mean as far as reporting.
And Maria Taylor is no Erin Andrews. What’s your point? Stop being a hater.
Maria Taylor >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Erin Andrews
That’s all about personal preference. I personally would choose Maria Taylor over Erin Andrews. So what’s your point?
Maria Taylor doesn’t even think she’s better than Erin Andrews(let alone everyone else on Earth) cut it out.
Laura and Maria—-hotter than erin
That’s what I was thinking!
Congratulations Laura ! I believe she and Maria are both excellent personalities to have on ESPN. Both are quite knowledgeable in terms f college sports. I enjoy them both…for what each one brings to the network. Good job, ESPN !
Laura Rutledge & Erin Andrews … both Gators … can’t go wrong with either!
