Sundown
Jon Sundvold, a six-year veteran of NCAA Tournament games for CBS, is out at ESPN, taken off "Big Monday" in favor of Fran Fraschilla.Word has it that ESPN wanted someone under contract with ESPN, which Fraschilla is. Sundvold, who also worked games last season for the Mizzou Network and for ESPN Regional, works as a freelancer.
Sigh. Too bad. Sundvold was among the station's better announcers. The former Missouri star would have done a better job than Mike Jarvis, Rick Majerus and former Duke guard Jay Williams, all three of whom are new additions to ESPN's lineup of 16 analysts for the 2004-2005 college basketball season.
