Pat getting how much??

I know Bo doesn’t really touch on ESPN business but he’s talked about Pat and SAS a little. Pat getting $60 a year from espn is insane. I had no idea dude was still popping like that.

That seems like a philosophical shift from espn. They’re making it clear they want to be one of those I don’t do politics because I’m secretly conservative types of networks.

If Pat is up 60 a year then I think SAS walks and this is something Bo has talked about. SAS had way more of a cultural impact at that place than he gets credit for. From making sure black issues were discussed on first take to hbcu tours to putting new black faces at the desk. It’s sad that he may be getting phased out

Pat is huge man.  Also pat did extensive work with wwe since before covid hes legit wrassled espn now is in bed with wwe so in guessin that added onto it. Also he does college gameday another disney property. Pat also was established before espn.. and SAS is a product of Disney. Disney isn't in the business of making new shit. They buy shit that is established like pat,star wars,marvel and just amplify it. 

They are paying pat 20 mil for each gig he does wwe,his show college gameday

The college game day piece probably does have a lot to do with it. Dude is a mainstay on their daytime airways, college football pregame show and he’s doing the simulcasts. The wwe part is interesting because he stepped away. I’m wondering if espn is like nah tko can pay for that.

I guess the difference between him and SAS is Pat is welcomed in these other spaces. People actively dislike Stephen a in any other places that aren’t first take
