It has to be considered a demotion. I'm guessing the $30m a year CBS days are done. Doubt Elon is giving him that much on Twitter. McAfee seems to have the "dude-bro" sports market for the most part. He's probably also lost listeners to Rogan. I kind of lost interest when he stopped booking his own show and just took whoever CBS Sports Radio wrangled up.

ESPN has always been the worldwide leader... in creating the environment for controversy, and then flogging that controversy to gain eyeballs and clicks.

That being said, Herbstreit has become particularly insufferable. I watched more college football this season than in a long while, and he's pretty much become an automatic channel change. His takes on Indiana in the CFP were fucking awful.

Though, I do feel sorry about the the death of his very good dog.
