College Basketball Writer Jason King Leaves Yahoo for ESPN

There’s rampant – rampant! – speculation about who Yahoo will hire to cover college basketball this year, and the most prominent names include Pat Forde (ESPN), Pete Thamel (NYT) and Gary Parrish (CBS). Forde’s contract is up in the coming weeks/months, but even though there have long been rumblings about his potential departure, you have to wonder if ESPN would let one of its top college basketball/football guys walk to a rival.
