247 takes over Scout


Recommended Posts



They forced Heckman (CEO, original founder) out last year and he started a competing company then poached most of the top talent from Scout. It sounds like Scout Media has been gutted and CBS is only interested in cherry-picking the team publisher contracts and a name for another sub-network (mobile app & website channels). It will probably be a named property but backed by the 247 site data/staff. It doesn't sound like CBS wants anything more than that. Heckman originally founded Rivals.com as well...

Either they get removed from the composite ranking, they stay and 247 data gets counted twice, or somebody else steps in to fill the void. It's not exactly clear what Heckman's new venture entails but it doesn't sound like a direct competitor to Scout or Rivals...
