World Cup going on, CWS going on, US open starting tomorrow, MLB in the middle of the season

Congratulations to the Nova Knicks—Jalen Brunson ’18 CLAS, Mikal Bridges ’18 CLAS and Josh Hart ’17 CLAS—for helping lead the New York Knicks to the 2026 NBA Championship. It was the Knicks’ first NBA title in 53 years.

By the time they're done, Tony Petitti, Greg Sankey, and Kevin Warren will collectively have done more damage to college sports than every NIL deal and portal tampering case put together. We are watching a generational run of hostile behavior toward fans
Column: A college sports industry with no restraint, no shame and no appreciation for its consumers expanded the NCAA Tournament to 76, with an eye on CFP expansion to 24. Almost nobody wants either, but that isn't stopping the alleged leaders. https://t.co/PmE5HIuKjz
The problem with expanding the NCAA tournament isn’t the number of teams.
It’s allowing Greg Sankey and Tony Petitti to run roughshod over college sports when they’ve been ineffective leaders at a time of existential crisis.

Trey Campbell has been at UNI for 4 years. Ben Jacobson has been there for 20. We just don't get stories like this all that much anymore in college sports. You've got to celebrate this.
The strength of schedule stuff is ridiculous.
14-LOSS Auburn is seen as some sort of bubble team because their non-con schedule contained:
• L by 30 to Michigan
• L by 29 to Arizona
• L by 28 to Purdue
Getting destroyed by good teams = résumé boost. Atrocious system.
It’s extremely odd behavior that St John’s fans are doing this bit. SJU fans started watching CBB last year (not a knock, just a fact) so I guess they don’t understand this is a new phenomenon but priding yourself on stealing players from in-conference is a really bad look.

Syracuse in Big East regular season games in its final 12 years in the old Big East:
