Sports Illustrated's Brian Hamilton and Lindsay Schnell both announced on Friday that they are part of the company's recent layoffs.
So this is my last official day at Sports Illustrated. Been a fantastic experience. Into the great wide open.

During layoffs, reporters ask one question over and over: Am I next? I wrote about what it’s like to be next: https://t.co/EIfndCKuYy

Both Hamilton and Schnell had been reporting on college sports with Sports Illustrated over the past few years before they were laid off.
Sports Illustrated also laid of basketball guru Seth Davis a few weeks ago. Davis had been with Sports Illustrated for over 20 years prior to his layoff.

Davis has since started his own website, SethsDraftHouse.com.
We send our best wishes to those affected by the layoffs.
