ESPN college basketball analyst Robbie Hummel is leaving the network to work for NBC and Fox Sports, according to Andrew Marchand of The New York Post.
Hummel, who spent six years at ESPN calling Big Ten basketball games, is leaving the network due to changes in media rights deals. ESPN distributed Big Ten broadcasts for 40 years but will no longer air the league’s games starting in the 2023-24 season.
As a result, Hummel will become part of NBC’s weekly coverage of Big Ten basketball games. Hummel is slated to broadcast contests aired on Tuesdays, according to the Post.
