@DalyDoseOfHoops @ManhattanMBB @GoJaspers Congratulations Bobby!

[Jaden Daly @DalyDoseOfHoops]

It’s almost impossible to tell @ManhattanMBB’s story without mentioning Bobby Gonzalez’s success. Tomorrow night, he and the 2003-04 Jasper team earn their long-overdue induction to the @GoJaspers Hall of Fame.

I caught up with Bobby this week: https://t.co/2K5y5PNS4d

62% of Division I schools have now voted to rescind the half-baked Men's Soccer year-round competition proposal. This is at least the third time that membership has rejected this concept, but somehow our governance process still requires that we find 18 more votes to kill it.

Docs: The NCAA sent out a memo to membership today outlining a few questions about the Protect College Sports Act, particularly around protecting women's sports.

Here's the full memo:

[The Field of 68 @TheFieldOf68]

Todd Golden on eligibility chaos is worth your time ⬇️

"The NCAA has spent millions of dollars promoting the PCSA. But if that were to pass, the class of '22 athletes would be eligible."

"At this point, the NCAA is arguing that they're trying to prevent chaos, but they're really causing it."

[ESPN Women's Hoops @ESPN_WomenHoop]

The women's college basketball season tips off Nov. 1. ESPN ranks our top 25 teams. JuJu Watkins is back this season -- where do her USC Trojans start out? Who's No. 1? Where does reigning champion UCLA open at?

Ohio universities are prohibited from adhering to NCAA rules that would prevent class of 2022 athletes who are still within their 5 year window & have not played professionally from playing in 2026-27.

Don’t be surprised to now see executive order like this in other states.

Charlie Baker has released a statement.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

In its latest filing in a federal lawsuit against LSU, the SEC re-emphasizes that the case should not be dismissed as LSU’s threat to interference with the league’s First Amendment rights is "ongoing" and calls expulsion from the conference a "very real threat."

[Sam C. Ehrlich @samcehrlich]

Huge day today for five-for-five eligibility rule litigation: it's oral argument day at the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals for the class action lawsuit, Wisne v. NCAA.

Some FAQs: (🧵)

[Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy]

Clint Overby, VP of ESPN Events, has accepted a separation/retirement package & is leaving ESPN on Feb. 28 after 25 years, sources told @On3. Overby oversaw 35 annual collegiate events, including ESPN’s 17 owned bowl games & seven college basketball events. A huge loss for ESPN

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

Few is right.

The NCAA self-created the situation where eligibility decisions are left with courts & where some class of 2022 players will be eligible and some won’t.

It could solve it tomorrow.

But that’s not the NCAA way, despite its claims it represents athlete interests.

[Dan Wolken @DanWolken]

John Calipari has made over $125 million coaching college basketball. But his argument for the Protect College Sports Act is even richer.
