#1 show on ESPN2 (ratings wise) so they are losing a mainstay since 2003 (it started as Cold Pizza).

I think Cari Champion saw the writing on the wall when she left last year lol

Nah, Champion simply got promoted to host Sports Center with a chance to be seen on ESPN. Skip is at the end of his contract and is simply taking more money to head to Fox Sports.
