Breaking In with Kevin Fishbain: A Sports Media Podcast · Mike Hall, Big Ten Network studio host · 12 Aug 2026 podcast

Notice the past tense. matched

Three years after beating 10,000 reality show competitors to land his dream job, Hall has left ESPN and will move back to Chicago to explore on air opportunities. matched

There's a quote later from Burke Magnus who says, Mike's a great talent. matched

I told him matched

Don't lose my number. matched

So on the complete surface of this, Mike, it's like, why would anybody leave ESPN at that age, at that era? matched

Um, but I'm also thinking in my head, like, what an absolute whirlwind that you had for three years um from dream job through ESPN. matched

So what brought you back to your hometown? matched

I got uh August thirtieth, two thousand seven, uh in the Tribune. matched

Uh Friday night tailgate will air at seven PM Friday. matched

It's designed to capture the mood on campus the night before game host Mike Hall and the analysts will take an extensive look at each game, both on and off the field. matched

So this is so you you talked about, you know matched

some luck involved and to be in Chicago, as you said, when this network's launching, entering its twentieth season. matched

We're talking in late July ahead of big time media days. matched

And it's just amazing to think about um about that. matched

But what do you remember about hopping on air at BTN at the at the beginning of that network? matched

So Mike, I I ask all my guests for their welcome to the big leagues moment and simply the Stuart Scott anecdote, being on dream job could be there and maybe it's some of your first sports centers or stuff at ESPNU, but when you think of welcome to the big leagues and whether it's positive or negative or whatever it was, it's like, Okay, I'm here. matched

Um matched

What maybe stands in mind that we haven't talked about? matched

Amazing. matched
