Did Pollack get demoted?

Pretty sure College Game Day is the better gig...

They aren't making the money they used to and Pollack is much more expensive than he was earlier in his career. Notice how they don't even do CFB Live in the same studio anymore. ESPN paid out WAY too much coin on tv contracts, they can't afford the talent anymore. Add their subscribers declining every year and you have a problem.

Disney is making them cut $100 million this year and something close to $300 million in 2017. ESPN is going to be a lot different in a couple of years. A ton of new faces will pop up and the big names, a lot of them already, will jump to other networks.

I feel like I didn't appreciate the Davis/Palmer /Pollack

I like Davis much more than Chris Fowler both on Gameday and in the booth.

Both teams are auditioning for an invitation to join the B12 Conference.

Is it me,or does Jessie Palmer's voice just grate your nutsack as bad as it does mine. It's like a Combo of Whiny/Just Flat

The commentators for the UNC game sounded like CNN calling a football game. They were trying to make up a QB controversy.
Just as CNN and Fox try to make news instead of just report it. Even the freaking weather channel does it now.

One doesn't ask for margin expansion justification, one just accepts margin expansion.

Where do these figures come from?

I read an article last year about it, but don't remember where I saw it. Here is another article claiming $100M and $250M
