It’s official: Four Super Bowls will be played at Boston College’s Alumni Stadium next month. https://t.co/JBNbvJcjiG

Update: looks like Boston College will host two Super Bowl games on Saturday, two on Sunday, Dec. 5-6.

MIAA board of directors meets virtually today.

What I'm hearing about the MIAA's search for Super Bowls host sites, with Boston College in the middle of it all:

Is Paul George the Celtics’ Atlanta Chris Sale?

Not to be all "I am also hearing this," but I'll have more on this topic shortly.

Would Bill O'Brien like to see the high school Super Bowls at Boston College? "Yeah. I can’t say anything, but we’re working hard to get that done. I don’t think we can host every single game, and nothing is official yet ... I would love to host those games here." @GlobeSchools

Must-read story from @Dan_Shaughnessy.

The rules allow boys to play girls’ field hockey, but it remains a touchy subject https://t.co/1gEwM4fLQD

Varsity sports have long encouraged school attendance with a simple rule: No class, no play.

But the rise of travel sports has flipped that incentive, particularly in wealthier communities. Its popularity has added fuel to a surge in chronic absenteeism. https://t.co/jGssE7FzrH

Moments ago, a judge denied the injunction filed by Boston Public Schools vs. the MIAA.

English High football will not be in the playoffs.

More to come at @GlobeSchools - here is the background on why BPS took MIAA to court:

@craigpostons I've been back. I took a five-month sabbatical in 2023, then started a different role at the Globe.

I wrote an essay on Patrice Bergeron for the Bruins’ “Blood, Sweat & 100 Years” book (which, come to think of it, remains a great gift idea).

For all-around excellence over time, there aren’t many like the Black and Gold version of Jean Beliveau.

[Matt Porter @mattyports]

Another Patrice Bergeron collectible I am aware of: From Kid to Captain, a collection of @BostonGlobe stories that chronicle his two-decade journey as a Bruin. (Forgive the awkwardness of a one-handed book flip.) It’s available at fine retailers everywhere.

One AD, who has more than 20 years of experience, said they have never seen such a gap between the haves and have nots in Massachusetts football. https://t.co/9pSN0MYZRf

As @NHLBruins great Patrice Bergeron enters Hall of Fame, what is his place in NHL history? @BostonGlobe takes a look at Bergeron's legacy as one of the greatest defensive forwards in NHL history (including graphics by me). https://t.co/XBRrocIhbf

Massachusetts is a hockey state. Why doesn’t UMass Amherst or Lowell sponsor a women’s team?

Women’s hockey is exploding in popularity, but athletic leaders at both schools told me that adding a varsity team is unlikely, at least in the next few years.

I feel bad for English High's football team, which should be preparing for a playoff game:

Statement from Gillette/Kraft group seemed to leave the door open to MIAA’s future return … but MIAA says in response they were “left in the lurch.”

Starting now, the road no longer leads to Gillette.

@Cryforhelpmaybe well then it sounds like it wasn't about you! :D

First thought after seeing the Bruins Hometown Remix: if you're a BU Terrier who doesn't like it and can't quite pinpoint why ...
