He sure loves his GatoradeIn an important Sports Business shake-up news story that I just got word of from SportsBusinessRadio, I found out that Darren (sweet name) Rovell will be leaving ESPN.com and will join CNBC starting July 11th. No word on exactly what Rovell will be doing there (hopefully he will not be eating bulls…Booyah!), but hopefully he will start to receive more notoriety in the sports world. I will update this post once more word comes on Darren (sweet name) Rovell’s situation with CNBC.
