Been its own thing for a while now I believe. Not sure if it always was, but most of those people haven't been employed by SBN for quite a while.

Holly and Spencer are doing their own thing with Channel 6 which is just them and no one else for a couple of years.

efb - but more info: 100% independent and they have a distribution deal with Meadowlark Media (the Lebatard thing). That deal is also why there's a Fullcast After Dark. The first Meadowlark Fullcast mentioned that it was a SEVEN FIGURE deal so Vox decided to torpedo a million-dollar podcast that they said couldn't be monetized:

Yeah, it was really fantastic. Fortunately the Split Zone Duo and Solid Verbal next day wrap ups fill that void nowadays.

Somebody at Vox was like "We can pay kids out of college a quarter what we pay these people. Or have AI do it."

And because of the way the world works, that executive probably still has a very high-paying job.

Yep, Shutdown Fullcast posts on the Lebatard and Friends feed (their catchall) at the same time as the Fullcast feed. There were two pressers, the After Dark announcement in 2021 and this full one in 2022 basically adding the Fullcast proper:

https://awfulannouncing.com/meadowlark/draftkings-meadowlark-podcast-additions.html

It really lends credence to the gang's general thought that the Fullcast is a sentient entity that's impossible to kill. To find this home, one of Lebatard's producers (Cote) had to get fired without Lebatard's input. Lebatard rehires Cote out of his own pocket and the ESPN thing permanently sours. Lebatard leaves and joins up with John Skipper (former ESPN head) while negotiating the retention of the RSS feed and the audience base in the separation.

Then, DraftKings decided to throw a ton of sponsor money at Lebatard, keeping him off satellite radio, as they start from complete scratch (equipment and all). DraftKings isn't even legal in Florida yet! Then, Vox had to gently caress up by letting their people/podcasts go for no discernible reason. The two clown cars collide and the Fullcast lives on telling us all about the cold refreshment of Coors Light.

The famous story about some upper-level executive at Vox seeing a flyer/promo for one of the live Fullcasts and not getting it because he didn’t know the man on said flyer.

Who happened to be Nick Saban.

Upper management live in weird bubbles, more so for a place originally based in D.C.

I don’t listen to Fullcast as religiously as SZD or Solid Verbal, but those are all some very talented people living their dream.

My podcast time is limited to my commute and runs, and it can get a little dense with inside jokes and tangents.

Spencer’s real strength is long form articles and I need to pony up for Channel 6 at some point.

Is there any SBN site/property that still gets boffo numbers? The "we just won the natty" thread at DawgSports barely crossed three figures. I remember going to the USC site when Lincoln jumped and it hadn't been updated in half a year.

Maybe I’m cynical but I think they just got worse at covering up the sex crimes.

i don’t think in the era of the internet 3.0 or whatever we’re in that you can credibly squash out sex crimes since you can gain access to a platform for free and people are willing to believe victims

power and control is still centralized but it’s not centralized on institutions so the idea that, say, alabama or georgia or ohio state could completely cover up even one sexual assault, let alone what was going down at baylor, is pretty antiquated

there is a way to go about covering things up but universities are either unwilling or unable to go down that road

I don't know about CFB sites but a few of the NBA ones are pretty popular, game posts are split into halves on the Blazers site and each one can get up to a thousand comments for an entertaining regular season game.

I assume Reddit dominates CFB chat when it comes to raw numbers. I know that for boxing it's not (Boxing Scene and others do well), but then again boxing isn't fragmented by fanbases quite the same way.
