Sounds like an attempt to improve their ratings.

people love to throw around ratings when they don't like something.

Also, everything every show ever does is an attempt to improve ratings. So, not sure why he thinks that’s a slight.

It's like a "I gotcha" moment for some people.

Gotta agree. What on earth are they doing in Augusta. Is there a football team I don't know about there? Not that I care really as I have watched maybe ten minutes of that show all year

No ,but both UGA and Ga.Tech are with in driving distance ,and believe it or not there are a couple of pros that will be teeing it up that have connections with both schools, as well as some of the other major universities near by. Who knows maybe the 54 hole leader at The Masters might be the guest celebrity. FORE!

If you have problems renting your house the week of The Masters, maybe you need a complete inspection of the house to make certain it's rentable.

COVID has completely ruined College GameDay. It's gone from a trash can to a complete dumpster fire.
For that reason, I will cut ESPN some slack on this desperate move. Nothing wrong with trying something different when there is nothing to lose.

They'll be broadcasting Game Day from the Par 3 Course. So technically not on the August National course. Still.....very un Masters - like.
I get that ESPN is a broadcast partner for the Masters so it's cross promotional, but the Masters usually doesn't play ball with others.
Next, we'll be hearing that they'll be flying in the guest picker - John Daley - by helicopter.

Un-Masters! Who would have ever thought the Augusta National course would host a Woman's Amateur event ,or the Drive,Pitch and Putt event they now host every year. And Jon Daly won't be near the course .My quess for the celebrity picker would be one of the pros with connections to either UGA ,or Ga. Tech.

the Par 3 course. Remember, this is the same course that lagged behind everybody else in admitting Blacks, admitting women, and also banned one of the funniest golf announcers ever in Gary McCord, just because he made a funny comment about the speed of the greens one year.

What ruining college gameday isn't covid . . .

. . . admittedly, some of the electricity is gone with the lack of crowds, but presumably normalcy will resume at some point in the next year or two. But what's ruining it is all the crappy human interest stories focused on social justice.

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't watched gameday in at least 15years (Got too many things to get done on the weekends before watching our Tigers play) That said, I guarantee this was just a way for the hosts and staff to be able to get into the tournament to watch since no fans on the course this year...just my two cents

Augusta National has had its share of controversies regarding political correctness.

Dumb idea. Hasn't CBS been the weekend broadcast partner for The Masters For years? Surprised they would allow it. Stay in your lane ESPN.

Apparently Marshall has a home game that day, on exactly the 50th anniversary of the plane crash.

OMG, what a bunch of whiny, cynical people many of you have become! One of you actually mentioned your problem with social justice! How does that even enter in to this! I think it’s a pretty cool thing that GameDay will be at the Masters. Why not? Never has The Masters coincided with college football, so why not? Great idea and I won’t miss it!!

"College GameDay (branded as ESPN College GameDay built by the Home Depot for sponsorship reasons) is a pre-game show broadcast by ESPN as part of the network's coverage of college football, broadcast on Saturday mornings during the college football season, prior to the start of games with a 12:00 pm ET kickoff. In its current form, the program is typically broadcast from the campus of the team hosting a featured game being played that day and features news and analysis of the day's upcoming games."
"The Masters Tournament (usually referred to as simply The Masters, or the U.S. Masters outside of North America[2][3]) is one of the four major championships in professional golf. Scheduled for the first full week of April, the Masters is the first major of the year, and unlike the others, it is always held at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club, a private course in the southeastern United States, in the city of Augusta, Georgia."
I guess a better question would be "Why?".

the show is terrible now. I can watch about 10-15 minutes and I lose interest. The stories they show are not interesting. They have Corso in Florida somewhere and he doesn't need to be on the show anymore. His speech is getting worse and he just needs to retire. McAfee is so energetic and fired up you would think he is giving the team a lockerroom speech. And I can't look at Herbstreit the same after he cried on television. They should shorten the show to one or two hours and provide better quality. Three hours is too much for them now.
