The cuts will only affect "talent" -- not rank-and-file employees, according to sources familiar with the matter. The details are still being finalized, but layoffs are expected to take place through June. No announcement has been made about which personalities will be affected, but it seems those with contracts up for renewal may be cut first. ESPN may also buy out some contracts that aren't ending soon, according to sources. "We have long been about serving fans and innovating to create the best content for them," ESPN said in a statement.

Duke loses to UNC and has lost 3 of the last 4 - and they move from #17 to #14 in the CBS/AP Poll

They are the only 8 loss team in the top 20. They are going to sent out west to beat Gonzaga

Not really unless Few would like to come to Indiana. Stevens is my dream, hell, Billy D would be okay as well but not holding up.

If none of the above are available, I would suggest waiting.

Only 8 times in March Madness history has a #2 lost in the first round. Duke had one of those teams. If they get a #2 (possible, but not likely) they would do better just to take care of business on Thursday or Friday of next week than to worry about beating what will be the eventual 2017 NCAA champions.

Duke definitely has gotten the benefit of the doubt from voters all season. I guess when you're the preseason No. 1 everyone wants to keep you as high as they can.

While Duke is capable of beating any team and certainly could win 6 straight, I still think their lack of a point guard will be their undoing in the tourney as it has throughout the season.

Duke won't be a #2 seed

They could win six straight. They could also be out in the first round. Duke lost to a 15 as a two and lost to a 14 as a three.

Yep. They are that much of a Jekyll & Hyde team this year.

If any team is capable of making it to the championship game and losing, it's UNC.
