Following the acquisition, both companies will merge to create a new digital media network focused primarily on male enthusiasts, which will operate as Scout Media, Inc. (Scout).

Hopefully, they keep Clean. He has no agenda other than helping kids.

I hope not. The site design is Scout's most redeeming quality. Its not designed for mobile use it doesn't have a ton of drop down menus that never load(like 247 and ESPN) or a million error pages (like Rivals).

they need a complete overhaul.
but I thought fox owned them.
And I agree, Clean needs to stay. I wish he were on 247.

It will be tough to recover. Rosetta hire set them back years...Don't know if they can recover.

247 needs to make a play for Clean. He's the best at covering kids in LA from the big dogs to the ones you've never heard of before.

Scout needs a major image upgrade. Not having a mobile site is annoying and it is just a dumb business practice to not have one.

OK. Scouts site works fine on my phone. Better than td. Geaux247 won't even load on my phone. So its funny a website without mobile works the best on mobile.

For you maybe but when I log onto the Spirit from my phone the margins and links are a mess to try and navigate. I use mobile TD and it works much better. Don't have a 247 so ill take your word for it.
