ESPN's Mark May will be an in-game analyst for ABC this fall.

Ohio State fans, you love to hate him; now you might have to see him more often on television.

With some reshuffling at ABC Sports and ESPN, Mark May will be a studio analyst for ABC during the network's broadcasts this coming season, ESPN announced in a press release this week.

With the exception of Ohio State's season opener on ESPN, the Buckeyes' television schedule has not been set, but figures to regularly be on ABC.

Yes, that means May could be offering talking more about Ohio State during his analysis about the Buckeyes this season.

May was moved off of ESPN College Football Friday after the 2014 season ended. He will be joined by fellow analyst Mack Brown and studio host John Saunders.

May will also appear on ESPN's "Championship Drive: Who's In," which airs Sunday afternoons at 1 p.m. starting Oct. 4.

May antagonized OSU fans last year as the ESPN analyst said he did not think the Buckeyes were not ready qualified for the College Football Playoff. Leading up to the National Championship Game, May was booed by fans gathered at ESPN's makeshift studio in Dallas.

Ohio State ended up winning the first ever College Football Playoff last season.
