Leaking info to the media.

ESPN rising star Adnan Virk has been fired by the network, sources told The Post. Virk is accused of leaking confidential company information to the media on multiple occasions, according to sources. When ESPN investigated the allegations, it felt that Virk failed to fully cooperate. He recently signed a new multi-year contract. “Adnan Virk no longer works at ESPN,” ESPN vice president Josh Krulewitz told The Post. Virk could not immediately be reached for comment. On Friday, Virk was escorted off the Bristol campus. The specific nature of the information Virk chose to share is unknown at this time. During his move up the ESPN ladder, Virk had become ABC’s lead studio host on its college football game coverage. He was a regular host on “Baseball Tonight” and college basketball. He was one of the main fill-in hosts on ESPN Radio. He had developed a podcast, called “Cinephile,” about movies

My question is what was he leaking? ESPN has some monsters in their closet but nothing has been out lately.

He won't be employed at a company with ESPN's clout ever again. Like them or not, they're still the king of sports TV.

Adnan wasn’t great but he was honest and genuine and wasn’t a hot take guy. Never felt like I was getting a corporate narrative with him. Guess that’s why others liked him. Also cost him a job. He’ll get a new gig, hopefully better one.
