1. CBS owns ESPN, don't they?

:shrug:

[Renew Deal]

2. Nope, ABC owns ESPN.

4. I get all those letters mixed up.

:crazy:

[Sandpiper]

3. Maybe he's a "freelance consultant"

Other than that, I have no idea.

5. Seperate contracts

Much like Billy Packer does CBS basketball and ACC games for JeffersonPilot/Raycom

6. In other words, Jay Bilas is one rich mo fo

most of us are in the wrong business!

7. For a guy who used to foul out in about 5 minutes...

he has done very well for himself.

He got to watch plenty when he was at Duke. :bounce:

Actually he wasn't that bad but he was the muscle on the team. One of my best friends loved watching him-we used to crack up at Bilas only taking a minute to get his first foul.

8. LOL

That is BRILLIANT!

9. He's an independent analyst

who signs contracts with various networks such as CBS, ESPN, ABC, local ACC affiliates, etc.
