Started by Bama alum. Sold to Yahoo Sports. Bama alum still runs it with Yahoo.


Actually, the founder of Rivals (bama alum), sold with a no-compete clause to Yahoo and sat out the requisite time, then founded and runs 247.

As much as I'd love to think it was a Bama Alum, that's not the case. There is still bias towards Bama for whatever reason. Just to clear it up: Shannon Terry was a former Lipscomb University basketball player in the early 90's out of Nashville, TN. He started and sold Rivals to Yahoo in 2007 for $100 Million. He started 247 Sports in 2010 and sold out to CBS Sports in December 2015. A Tennessee guy........
