Remember when you wrote an article at the behest of Ray Tanner saying “Rising Tide lifts all ships” in regards to Tanners leadership approach?
That only works if the ships are full of holes.
See the thing about baseball is it’s the one major college sport NIL hasn’t really affected yet and is still what college sports was originally all about.
This is so sick and feels like what all of college sports used to feel like
There’s some quirk in physics where, if there’s a small hole in a bag of mulch it will leak all over your vehicle.
But if you rip a giant hole in the bag and try to dump it out into your landscaping, almost none will fall out.
Two sobering baseball facts today:
- 2026 marks the first time ever that the state of South Carolina will have three teams in the Tournament, and neither South Carolina nor Clemson are included.
- South Carolina has only claimed a Top 16 National seed once since 2017

Everyone knew ncaa tournament expansion to 76 was inevitable. Almost nobody wants it. Those trying to argue its merits are gaslighting you. I’ve written it many times — it’s a lousy development that contributes to the erosion of what makes college sports great.
Univ. of South Carolina athletics posted its biggest surplus in six years, generating $1.3M in FY25 despite a $10.1M drop in football profit 📈
The program reported $204.6M in revenue against $203.3M in expenses.

Was on 18 for the final group and playoff, absolute scenes. But the USA chants are TERRIBLE. What’re we doing???? This isn’t the Ryder Cup
No love for Fitzpatrick when he has a literal Harbour Town lighthouse head cover is sad. I get the Scottie love, but should be similar
Good for him.
Honestly 18 was embarrassing on Sunday. People in suites and on the course actively cheering against a former champion and avid HHI lover was embarrassing.
Matt Fitzpatrick was asked about his reaction to the crowds down the stretch at the RBC Heritage:
"It didn't get out of line in terms of no one was shouting on backswings or anything like that, which was great. I'm all for it. I love the people -- they're supporting Scottie; that's great. You want golf to have an atmosphere in my opinion. I grew up watching football. I'm paid so much money to be out there in front of those crowds, having them chanting at you every week, it's great feeling.
"However, there's no better feeling than coming out on top against that. There isn't a better feeling."
