Qerim, who hosted “First Take” for 10 years, abruptly quit the show and ESPN last month after reports emerged that she would be leaving at the end of the year.


Amina Smith, MJ Acosta Ruiz and Peter Schrager also filled in during the month-long tryout period.
Cornette currently hosts editions of “SportsCenter” after starting her career with the Big Ten Network and as a Bears reporter for Fox 32.
