Remember when Tom Brookshier got fired from CBS back in the 80s for saying that the collective IQ of the Louisville basketball team was 40.

i am sorry, but the name doesn't ring a bell.

I am reading here however that he was reinstated again, CBS's announcing lineup for the 1984 season, continuing as a network commentator through 1987.

Was he fired for overestimating?

The problem is that you get marginally intelligent players in college, and they just stay around 1 to 2 years, then move to the NBA. They can’t manage their own money, run their lives in any sane fashion, and are practically broke by age 35.
