NBC has confirmed that Keith Olbermann (Cornell Class of '79) will not be on its "Football Night in America" show this season.

The move was initiated not by NBC Sports but by NBC News, which wanted Olbermann to focus exclusively on his job as host of his own show on MSNBC.

No word yet on whether Glenn Beck will replace him. (Kidding!)

Dan Patrick will handle the highlights by himself henceforth.
