ESPN reportedly making moves toward direct-streaming future​

By: Jason Aycock - SA Editor

ESPN (NYSE:DIS) is reportedly setting up for a future where it streams its channel straight to consumers -- a move that might bring about a sea change in the fundamental cable TV business model.

The self-proclaimed "Worldwide Leader in Sports" is actively preparing for a shift to direct streaming under an internal project codenamed "Flagship," The Wall Street Journal reported.

The plan includes continuing to offer ESPN's channels as pay-TV options -- but those would have to compete with the direct option, according to the report.

ESPN has been maneuvering in this direction through its recent deals with cable providers and similar talks with sports leagues, the WSJ noted.

ESPN has long been one of the foundations of the pay TV business model, with its channels securing the highest rates per subscriber of the entire pay TV landscape -- a sort of "anchor store" for providers including Comcast (CMCSA), Charter (CHTR), DirecTV (T), Verizon (VZ), Dish Network (DISH) and many more.

Pay TV's bundling setup means many viewers who don't watch ESPN pay for it anyway, and ESPN takes a $9.42 chunk of each average pay TV bill, vs. an average of $0.49 per subscriber for other cable nets.

I know it’s a long shot. Anyone have 2 for today.

Caleb Love decommitted from Michigan today because the Admissions office wouldn’t let him in.

The WR transferring in from Sparty sent me down a rabbit hole:

Here are some interesting ones

1. 21 have transferred out. 11 in Dec/Jan and 10 in spring

These are the post spring guys
-Safety Travis Jay to Colorado
-WR Mycah Pittman to Utah
-DL Bishop Thomas to Colordao
-CB Omarion Cooper to Colordao
-OG Antavious Woody to unknown
-OG Zane Herring to USF
-LB Steven Dix to Marshall
-S Brendan Gant to Colorado
-DE Derrick McClendon to Colorado
-WR Malik Maclain to Penn State
-RB Treshaun Ward to K-State

Big one in December was CB Demorie Tate who has not decided where he is going. He has a chance to be a player.

2. They have added 4 in winter and fall portal period.

-WR Keon Coleman from MSU: Should be a solid pair with Johnny Wilson
-DE Gilber Edmond from SC: Should be a solid player for them as he was at SC
-DL Darrell Jackson from Miami: mainly a depth guy at Miami on a bad defense
-TE Jaheim Bell from SC: solid athlete but rumors have been put out he could not learn the playbook


So essentially they lose 21 players and add 4

I'd like thoughts on that as roster management. Deion is taking all their leftovers or poaching one of the two

Judge rules in favor of Tiger Woods in legal dispute with ex-girlfriend Erica Herman​

By: Ryan Young - Yahoo! Sports

A Florida judge ruled in favor of Tiger Woods late Wednesday night and said that the dispute between him and his former girlfriend Erica Herman must be resolved through arbitration, according to The New York Times.

The ruling, which was handed down late on Wednesday by Judge Elizabeth A. Metzger of the Circuit Court in Martin County, Florida, will keep the dispute private. Herman’s claims, Metzger said, were “implausibly pled.”

Woods and Herman dated for nearly six years before splitting last October. She frequently attended major events with him and his children, and lived in his Florida home with him.

Herman, in a court filing earlier this month obtained by Yahoo Sports, revealed several new details about their relationship — including the allegations that Woods ended their relationship through a “scheme.”

Herman said she was told to pack a bag for a trip to the Bahamas, but when they arrived at the airport, Woods boarded the plane without her and referred Herman to his lawyer. The lawyer then allegedly ended the relationship, and informed Herman that she had been locked out of the house and couldn’t return home. Woods’ team instead said that once their relationship had ended, Herman was “advised that she was no longer welcome” at the home.

Among other things, Herman said Woods decided to “pursue a sexual relationship” with her when she was his employee, and then “forced her to sign an NDA about it or else be fired from her job.”

Herman filed two lawsuits against Woods. The first lawsuit, filed last fall, seeks $30 million in damages. The second, filed in March, was done in an attempt to be released from that nondisclosure agreement.

Herman suggested allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment, but didn’t offer public details on those charges. Under new federal rules, those allegations could have voided an NDA.

In her decision, Metzger said Herman had not provided “factual specificity for any claim relating to sexual assault or sexual harassment.”

Woods filed a motion to dismiss Herman’s lawsuit last week, and provided emails that allegedly showed Herman discussing the NDA in 2017. Herman allegedly wrote in those emails to Woods’ chief financial officer that she doesn’t “have any problems with what’s in the [NDA] because I wouldn’t go public or use anything I know to hurt him or the kids.”

Now, per terms of that NDA, their dispute will be settled through private arbitration.

Woods is currently sidelined indefinitely from golf after he underwent surgery on his ankle last month. He withdrew from the Masters in April after what looked like a painful few days. The surgery, a subtalar fusion procedure, was to address a fracture he first sustained in the life-threatening car crash he was involved in in 2021. There is no timeline for his return.
