This upsets me. There's no other guy I want calling a college basketball game.

Not so fast

Reports of Gus Johnson's departure from CBS Sports are premature.

So for Johnson fans, March Madness might not turn into March Sadness after all.

According to an industry source Johnson, whose CBS contract expired after the Final Four, received a written offer from Fox earlier this week. The offer includes both NFL and Pac-12 football play-by-play roles.

However Johnson's reps have not presented the offer to CBS execs. When they do, probably next week, CBS will have one week to match or say adios to Johnson.

So Johnson's future at CBS, where he's spent 16 years calling NCAA hoops and also doing NFL play-by-play is still up in the air.

Dude is a badass.

He's been calling basketball games on the Big Ten Network as well.

I hope this means he won't be commentating on MMA anymore since he was absolutely terrible at it.

And now it's going to be an expanded role.

Be jealous, rest of the world.

I agree, he should also leave the lipstick at home
