McDonald has been with Virginia since 1996. He previously served as the voice of the Cavs from 1980-85.
No word on why McDonald was let go or who his replacement might be.

Why was he let go? There has to be a scandal.

It’s about time. I don’t doubt Mac’s love for UVA sports, but he is an embarassingly bad radio announcer. As much as I hate to say it, the guy that VT has, Bill Roth, is much easier on the ears than Mac.
