My take on it at this point is I hope he stays, but at the same time I never expected him to be here long and still feel that way whether he stays for n...

NIL has destroyed college sports. Not really though, college sports are doing quite well right now. Millions of fans tuned to linear coverage on CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV, with the momentum beginning with the Selection Show on March 17, when 5.9 million viewers tuned in to CBS for the bracket unveili...

5 scholarship players so far, 6 if you count the walk on. None of which averaged more than 5 points per game.

Re: 2024 Coaching Carousel

I think the point that is being missed here is that there is a difference between thinking that transferring all the time may not be a good/smart idea for certain players and thinking that they should not be allowed to do it. I'll agree that there may be times when transferring may not be in a playe...
