Like so many other media companies, ESPN has been finding ways to cut costs and ultimately downsize amid the changing TV landscape. Those methods ultimately contributed to a number of high-profile layoffs. Jalen Rose, Suzy Kolber, Max Kellerman and Jeff Van Gundy are only a few of the major pundits to be released by the sports giant lately. Earlier this week, it was also reported that Van Gundy’s frequent cohort in the broadcast booth, Mark Jackson, had also been let go as well. Jackson himself confirmed the news with a personal statement and, after he did that, Reggie Miller, Arsenio Hall and more stars lent their support.
