Earlier this week it was announced a new version of One Shining Moment would replace the classic Luther Vandross classic. People did not react favorably.

It appears a compromise has been reached, per a Turner Sports/CBS press release.

"This year’s coverage of the National Championship will include traditional game coverage on TBS, with “Team Stream by Bleacher Report” or team-specific championship telecast airing on TNT and truTV for the first time. In addition to the version of “One Shining Moment” airing on TBS, three-time Grammy Award winner NE-YO will lend his voice to a new rendition of the iconic song.  The latest installment will be part of the Team Stream coverage airing on TNT and truTV.  NE-YO’s performance of “One Shining Moment” will accompany team-centric highlights of the schools being featured in the Team Stream presentations, following their quest leading up to and during the title game."

So, in short, two separate versions for two separate audiences.

Ne-Yo becomes the fifth artist to perform the song for the telecast, joining David Barrett, Teddy Pendergrass, Jennifer Hudson and Luther Vandross.

Outrage averted, probably.
