Adrian Wojnarowski leaving ESPN To become general manager at St. Bonaventure
"Thirty-seven years ago, the Hartford Courant gave me my first byline and I never stopped chasing the thrill of it all."This craft transformed my life, but l've decided to retire from ESPN and the news industry. I understand the commitment required in my role and it's an investment that I'm no longer driven to make. Time isn't in endless supply and I want to spend mine in ways that are more personally meaningful."
Wojnarowski, who signed his own contract extension with ESPN in 2022, will walk away from the remaining $20 million he was owed. Best of luck to Woj in this new era of his life.

I've been fortunate to spend more than 20 years in this business working with reams of talented people. Adrian Wojnarowski is the best. Period. A peerless reporter. A gifted wordsmith. A storyteller nonpareil. He is Jim Brown and Barry Sanders, leaving at the apex of his game.
