In the allegations he leaked "Confidential Information"

Adnan Virk, a once-rising star at ESPN, has been fired by the network, Deadline has confirmed.

“Adnan Virk no longer works at ESPN,” VP Josh Krulewitz told Deadline on Monday.

Krulewitz would not elaborate, but the New York Post, which first reported Virk’s firing citing sources, said he was terminated following an investigation that he had leaked confidential company information to the media on more than one occasion, a violation of company policy. He was not fully cooperative in that investigation, according to the Post, and was let go Friday.

Virk had become a lead studio host on its college football game coverage. He was a regular host on Baseball Tonight and college basketball, and one of the main fill-in hosts on ESPN Radio. He also had developed a film-focused podcast, Cinephile.

I guess the mouse doesn't like it's dirty laundry getting out.

All ESPN/Disney employees are required to take compliance training annually dealing with privacy, and how to handle sensitive information.

What exactly is compliance training? Do they tase employees into submission?

If he really has confidential insider information from his former employer
discovery on that could be all sorts of fun. "The Mouse" would never want its
dirtiest dirt spilling out in an open courtroom.

Bet it settles and never gets to trial.
