Haven't seen that news anywhere else yet but they really cut into the college basketball coverage already.
O'Neill, Brown, and Brennan all let go.

I imagine CBS would go after him as well.
FS1 can save a lot of money now, they don't have to pay WOW money to get people away.
Would make sense for him to land at Fox.
He has been one of the ESPN reporters who seemed to like to talk about BE teams.
Met him in San Antonio and Detroit at Final Fours. A genuinely nice guy. Talked about Xavier, and he was just a regular guy.

Search the web; plenty of articles out there. Yahoo had a pretty good one today.

Not a mass exodus, they are bleeding to death financially and cutting costs. High content costs due to bad deals and declining ratings. OOPS! People are not leaving voluntarily as much as being pink slipped and shoved out the door.

Disney owns ESPN.
Disney stock is very reliable but every quarterly earnings has investors negative on ownership of ESPN as subscribers to ESPN and cable outlets are shrinking dramatically. See rise in Netflix and Hulu.
People are not subscribing to traditional TV models and networks and news organizations are cutting budgets.
The glory days of ESPN are long gone. People don't watch as much nor subscribe.
I ponder if Fox Sports 1 can get by with leaner and less paid staff.
How does Mike Decorsey from TSN survive with random college basketball news? He must paint houses on the side.
