ESPN and Maria Taylor jointly stated today that they were unable to reach an agreement on a contract extension after much discussion. Maria's final assignment for ESPN was thus last night's NBA Finals telecast. Jimmy Pitaro and Maria Taylor make the following observations:
“Maria's extraordinary achievement is a clear reflection of her abilities and hard ethic. Without a doubt, we will miss Maria, but we remain committed to building a strong and diverse talent roster that accurately reflects the athletes we cover and the fans we serve. While she chose a different path, we are happy of the work we accomplished together.”
"I am so appreciative of Jimmy and all of my incredible teammates and friends at the SEC Network, College GameDay, Women's and Men's college basketball, and the NBA Countdown family - the individuals that believed in me, encouraged me, pushed me, and lifted me up. Words are insufficient to describe my unending gratitude, and I hope to do them proud.”
