So what happens now? Scout rankings disappear and their resources just funneled into 247? Scout keep its identity and improve?

 
This has been going on for a while. They were hit with involuntary chapter 11 a couple months back after failing to pay a judgement. 247 was the only interested from the reports I saw and they picked scout up for very cheap...

Any idea on how that'll look?

 
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...

 
Surely you can't have a composite ranking with Scout. It'd be an average of 247 and rivals and whatever ESPN gets from their interns that cover recruiting.
