Speculation has run rampant in recent months about the future of Undisputed, Fox Sports 1's flagship studio property.
The show found notoriety pitting pundit Skip Bayless against Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe in daily televised debates, but Bayless and Sharpe's relationship reportedly deteriorated over time. Fox bought Sharpe out of his contract at the end of May, and he co-hosted his last episode of the show on June 13.
Now, Bayless has the freedom to shape Undisputed‘s lineup as he sees fit—and his choices so far have rankled Fox executives, according to a Tuesday morning report from Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports.
