by

Followers of “Bussin’ with the Boys” were taken aback when it was announced that Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are parting ways with Barstool Sports. The popular pair, recognized for their captivating content and charming rapport, disclosed the factors leading to their exit, such as a fresh contract proposition and creative autonomy.

Let’s explore why the beloved podcast is moving on and what lies ahead for its hosts.

Why Bussin’ with the Boys’ Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are leaving Barstool Sports

In a recent episode of their popular podcast “Bussin’ with the Boys,” hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan announced their departure from Barstool Sports. This decision was made following an attractive offer from an undisclosed sponsor.

Originally, they planned to remain with the cherished organization. Yet, Dave Portnoy’s latest proposal didn’t measure up to their hopes. They were willing to stay if Portnoy’s new deal was more in line with their current one. Regrettably, it was only 60% of what they had, which they deemed unacceptable.

Furthermore, they disclosed having received an enticing proposal they couldn’t turn down, enabling them to operate autonomously. Yet, they chose to keep secret the identity of their new benefactor.

We’ll work only with specific sponsors, but not restrict our collaborations within a network. We maintain full creative control, just as ‘Bussin’ with the Boys’ intended. It’s fantastic,” Compton stated.

Speaking about his departure from Barstool, Compton stated, “It’s hard to let go when you’ve been with a group for nearly six years. It’s because they were the ones who believed in you from the start, stood by your side, and supported and helped build you up… It’s tough to leave such a loyal team behind.

Earlier, there were online rumors swirling about the departure of Barstool’s well-known hosts. Compton discussed their contract on Surviving Barstool earlier this January and mentioned being “voted off” the show. He also hinted at working towards another significant deal. This fueled speculation that they might soon be leaving the company.
