Basics my thoughts as well... yeah, a bunch of these "news" sources get clicks on rumors and the "leaks" and then the official announcements.....
And even dragging it out with multiple announcements seems relatively fine, by releasing holiday games, opening weekend, etc... but then adding all of these "worst kept secret" leaks doesn't seem to add much value besides, like you said, having more segments on ESPN and a ton of garbage on social media.
The people who already care just want to know, and the people who may not really care aren't going remember what's what between now and Sept.
