All of a sudden one day, we get told through e-mail and slack that there is this mandatory Zoom meeting in the next hour or so. Shannon starts it off saying he's decided to move on and do other things and wants to thank us all, blah blah. Then Shannon logs off the call and the head of CBS Sports gives us his vision of the company and what it all means. They never said they fired or pushed him out, but that's what it was. On3 was announced as soon as his noncompete was up, but we all knew it was coming because he was putting feelers out to see who would come.
Kids lol In a more serious answer, more time has passed now. Feel more comfortable saying some of this stuff. Still would love it if y'all kept it here though.
he did the same thing when he moved on from Rivals/Yahoo to 247. The guy that owned UGASports.com got caught in breach of his contract due meeting/talking/contracting with Shannon. Yahoo got wind of it and essentially forced him sell the site for pennies on the dollar. The Dawgvent is still the biggest UGA message board.
The difference this time too was CBS knew he was gonna do this. During the non compete time frame they went and locked up all the biggest sites
Wrong! He poached the best and the brightest, that’s why the unbiased algorithm gave 35% weight to On3. Expect to hear from his lawyers for this libel and defamation
the United Kingdom has more elite football recruits than Kentucky, Rhode Island, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, Delaware, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Hawaii, and Alaska combined.
Shit like this is hilarious “former On3 Industry 4*” aka we didn’t exist but if you take we took an average of our competitors and slapped our name on it
I hate the way money is accumulated here that let's a bunch of average white guys with questionable morals feel superior
Everything he says is in Silicon Valley VC vernacular circa 2014. Even the douchiest start up guys dont talk that way anymore.
Shannon is having a very public Twitter fight with some Tennessee writer who appears to be 19 years old.
What an embarrassing burn. I've noticed that Terry seems to have a Twitter fight with someone every week or two.
“I admire your lack of self awareness” line is right out of the 2012 Rivals message board playbook. I enjoyed the nostalgia tbh
He definitely named his third company that, just to mock the non-competes. Next site will be The 4th Quarter.
more context if you click on the tweet and see some of the replies. link to an on3 article about some "NIL lawyer" with initials MC.
They have the two top hoops recruits in the 2025 class predicted to FIU and Maine. Bold. I like it. I assume it’s some algorithm based off distance and they add other factors like predictions and visits to it later.
