@GolfweekRingler For sure. Understandable on that front. But it’s funny when you hear where a kid is going while he is playing for another school - then DNC - then signs with said school. Ha!
Congrats on a hell of a career to @ugahaacker and Jim Douglas. Met these two 15 years ago at the Colorado regional and became an instant fan. Proud to call them friends and look forward to their next chapter. The best.
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
One year ago, the NCAA blindsided college athletics with unprecedented roster limits.
Thousands of student-athletes lost opportunities as coaches were put in the terrible position of cutting and/or de-committing players. Then AFTER the damage was done, the NCAA introduced the “Designated Student Athlete” designation as a way to let some athletes stay without counting against roster limits.
But many programs had already made painful decisions because coaches were told the limits were coming and tried to give athletes as much notice as possible.
Now we are about to do this AGAIN.
The NCAA is expected to approve a 5th year of eligibility next month — after most programs have already recruited their 2027 classes based on the CURRENT rules and CURRENT roster limits.
In women’s soccer, we already operate under a restrictive 28-player cap. You cannot recruit for FOUR classes for years, then suddenly force programs to fit FIVE classes onto the same roster without student-athletes paying the price.
Because when seniors stay, someone else loses a spot.
More cuts. More decommitments. More athletes caught in the middle of ever-changing rules they had nothing to do with.
College recruiting happens YEARS in advance. Families and athletes make life-changing decisions based on the rules in place at the time.
If 5th years are approved, they should all be classified as DSAs so as to not count against roster limits. Otherwise the NCAA is about to repeat the exact same disaster all over again.

45 year old Presidents Cup captain Brandt Snedeker won for the first time in nearly 8 years yesterday at the Oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic for his 10th PGA Tour title. After the victory, he said Gary Woodland’s recent win helped motivated him:
“Yeah, it's been a roller coaster. I feel amazing. I feel so lucky to still be out here still doing what I love to do, to have a chance to win a golf tournament at my age and to be able to pull it out is something super special. I'm just so pumped. I don't know what else to say.
“But I've had a lot going on this year obviously with Presidents Cup stuff and getting to be around the guys. It really pushed me a lot. It did. Seeing Gary Woodland win a few weeks ago in Houston and seeing the old guys play well and the young guys push them, it's been fun to get back in the swing of things and play some good golf.
“I know people don't think I been playing that great, but I been playing pretty good. Just kind of have not been able to put four rounds together, and this week I did.
So excited for what the next little bit holds, and going to really enjoy tonight and celebrate this. Ten wins out here is a huge accomplishment for me, and super excited about it.”
He then went on to say that winning “means everything” and developed with an emotional answer about the struggles of professional sport:
“To not have my card the last couple of years, to be struggling to do what I love, you know, to still have a passion to play this game the way I want to play it and to show people how I can still do it, especially not playing my best and struggling the way I did to come back and fight, claw my way back and play some great golf this year even though it hasn't seemed like it to people outside.
“I knew I was playing well. I just hadn't been able to put it all together. Hopefully it shows my family, my kids something. Just, you know, ten wins out here is an accomplishment. Something I'm very proud of.”
The victory earns Brandt a full PGA Tour exemption through the 2028 season, a spot in this week’s PGA Championship and climbs him up to 63rd on the FedEx Cup Standings.

@GolfweekRingler 100%. On most campuses it is 3rd behind only football and men’s basketball in least expensive to operate on a team and per player basis. At CU we likely will be only behind football, if you can believe that. There are a lot of sports losing well over $5M a year!
Well said!!
Sad day for @GoShockers@WichitaState - I’m sure there are some very loud critics of this short-sighted decision and hopeful they listen to solutions. @GoShockersMGLF
Golf programs can be so much for a university and they are the closest sport as any to FB and MBB to being revenue positive!
If resourceful and creative, golf programs can make money and AT WORST should be key university-wide relationship drivers
If you believe in golf and support the principles behind the sport… be vigilant, never take for granted your program, no matter the conference affiliation or past success. We live in tumultuous times in college athletics, Wichita St isn’t the last. Go support your program now!
