On3 Buys Rivals

[vailhusker]

On 3 is keeping the stuff that is interesting and dumping the HS recruiting piece - which is becoming increasingly less interesting to most fans - into Rivals.

I bet that eventually goes to private equity or a management buyout of some kind.

I'm trying to remember how it went when 247 merged Scout back in the day. Might be a similar process.

I don’t think they kept any of those guys

What happened to the guy at inside Nebraska that called out people like Callahan?

Not a chance.
Callahan will collect the extra money for increased subscribers.

He’ll “move” Mongo to rivals to cover recruiting while he and Sip cover the team on on3.

I’ll give Callahan credit in 1 area, he’s built a big brand with some loyal retards following him. I imagine he makes some good money

They should dump Dean, Mongo and Sip. Keep the Rivals guys.

Dean won’t hire someone smarter than he is. Period.

at least for football

robin's a bright guy and a good writer

 

[slattimer]

Dean won’t hire someone smarter than he is. Period.

His giant fragile ego couldn't handle it

at least for football

And this...Dean can't write ridiculously generic articles about football if he had anyone on staff that actually knew any football...

I think Tim easily transitions into a role with 247.

He gets booted in favor of the muffed punt window licker, and he’ll get a job in a hurry. Actual quality in most of his content and he doesn’t seem to be a giant baby.

I dunno about Tim's hops or punt catching ability but he's guaranteed winner of the spelling bee.

I’m old school, but I like to see some grammar and spelling chops in my writers.

Even in the character limited X world, it just flows better with a guy or gal who has skilz in those areas.
