FOXSSW had announced the hiring of James last week for their college football studio shows.

James had worked for ESPN for a number of years before launching a failed bid for U.S. Senate in late 2011.  James didn't make a Republican Primary runoff which eventually saw Ted Cruz elected to the U.S. Senate.

James was also the subject of a failed lawsuit by Mike Leach which was dismissed by Judge Bill Sowder last month.
