Top CBS sportscaster Jim Nantzwill have to fork over nearly $1 million a year plus the keys to a Connecticut colonial mansion in a freshly-inked divorce settlement with his ex-wife, following a trial where it was revealed that he began squiring a 29-year-old honey last year
A Connecticut judge ruled that Nantz, who earns $7 million a year, will have to pay his ex, Lorrie, $72,000 a month in alimony for the rest of her life, plus $1,000 a week in child support until their 16-year-old daughter turns 23
That comes out to about $550,000 a year after taxes. Despite the hefty settlement with his spouse of 26 years, the 50-year-old college hoops and golf guru isn't going to put up a fight -- she'd been asking for $1.5 million a year.
In addition to the cash, Nantz has to give up their sprawling Westport mansion, plus a condo they had bought for Lorrie's mother. He also must keep her as a beneficiary on his $3 million life insurance.
The pair's marriage had long been on the rocks. Nantz tearfully testified that Lorrie did little to support him and his career, refusing to travel and prompting him to turn down a hosting slot for the CBS "Early Show" because she was against it.
He even claimed Lorrie refused to allow him to hang an oil painting of himself that he was given as part of a "man of the year award" from the New York Athletic Club.
It emerged at the trial that Nantz had shacked up with a much younger woman he met during a book tour last summer, before his divorce was finalized. But Judge
Howard Owens-- who described Nantz as "our nation's most prominent sportscaster" -- said that "this remote event in no way contributed to the breakdown of the marriage."

"It was an amicable split," Nantz's lawyer,
Gaetano Ferro, told The Post's Lukas I. Alpert. "He always wanted a peaceful resolution of an unfortunate situation. He wants to put it behind him." Lorrie's lawyer didn't return our call
