I get why he's quitting.

I make fun of these insiders for getting paid a lot to cut and paste text messages, but it is a miserable life. They are on the clock every moment of every day because them keeping their status requires looking at your phone every time it dings. Delay in copying and pasting isn't an option.

There are no vacations. There is no family time. Even when you sleep you have to wake up and look at your phone's every alert. You are always on the job.

Thought it was fake when I saw it. Woj was the goat NBA insider. Now everyone is left with..? Shams? Lol

Shams salary literally doubling overnight
3 networks fighting tooth and nail to get him.

The craziest thing to me (a fellow St. Bonaventure Bonnie) is that HOW does this happen?

There's zero chance St. Bona has the audacity to offer him the position. Dude was making $7 million a year on a 5-year contract with $21 million left.

St. Bona's entire athletics budget is $16.5 million. So they're not like "making a competitive offer" to Woj.

The only way this happens is if the AD/Coach at Bona called Woj and said "We're creating this position. You know anyone who'd be good?" and he said "yeah, me."

Which means they must have said "You want to take a 97% pay-cut to be our GM?" and he said "Yes. I do." And honestly, the proper response to that for the Bonnies really should be "if you're willing to part with $21 million over the next three years, why don't you stay at ESPN and just donate your salary to us?"
