Adrian Wojnarowski, legendary breaker of NBA news, is leaving ESPN to be the GM of St. Bonaventure’s men’s basketball program. Front Office Sports “Tuned In” columnist Michael McCarthy joins the show to discuss Woj’s legacy and who ESPN may be eyeing to replace him.

Plus, the WNBA is coming to Portland, FSU and Clemson are reportedly in talks with the ACC on a deal that could redistribute conference funds, and the Pac-12 has new schools in its sights.
