Jon Rothstein is taking his written college basketball coverage to 247Sports. The CBS Sports insider announced the expansion via social media.
What We Know: Rothstein has covered men’s college basketball for CBS Sports since 2010. In addition, he serves as a studio analyst and sideline reporter for the network. Now, the daily editorial content he produces for CBS Sports will appear on 247Sports. Notably, CBS acquired 247Sports in 2015, so the move keeps Rothstein in the family.
What They Said: Jon Rothstein (via X): “CBS Sports has forever been the best place for college basketball content and I’m thrilled to be expanding my role across the CBS Sports family. All of the editorial content that I’ve been churning out on a daily basis can now be found on 247Sports for some of the most dedicated and passionate fans in college sports. As always, you’ll catch me on-air across all of the CBS Sports platforms during our studio shows and on games as a sideline reporter as well as on INSIDE COLLEGE BASKETBALL NOW multiple times per week. This is ONLY October!”
What Remains Unclear: It is unclear how the change affects his FanDuel role with college basketball written content. Also, how the shift to 247Sports also reflects in his exact assignments for CBS Sports and basketball coverage remains unknown.
What It Means: Ultimately, the move gives 247Sports a marquee college basketball voice before tip-off. Meanwhile, Rothstein keeps his full on-air workload across CBS Sports platforms. As a result, CBS consolidates a top insider’s work under its own banner. Moreover, fans now have one clear destination for his daily analysis.
