The first Pac-12 WoSo Tournament will be hosted by the regular season champion and feature the league's top four finishers.

[Chris Henderson @chris_awk]

6 PM - Georgia vs James Madison
8 PM - South Carolina vs Clemson
10 PM - Arizona St vs Texas

8/22

12 PM - Wake Forest vs Old Dominion
2 PM - Nebraska vs Alabama

[Chris Henderson @chris_awk]

As an example:

8/12

6 PM - Wake Forest vs LSU
8 PM - Wisconsin vs TCU
10 PM - USC vs Duke

8/15

12 PM - Virginia vs Liberty
2 PM - Minnesota vs Georgia
4 PM - Pepperdine vs USC
6 PM - Clemson vs Ohio State
8 PM - Wake Forest vs South Carolina
10 PM - Baylor vs Texas A&M

You could have three games on WED 8/12 & 8/19 starting at:

6 PM, 8 PM, 10 PM (EST)

And then on SAT 8/15 & 8/18 starting at:

12 PM, 2 PM, 4 PM, 6 PM, 8 PM, 10 PM (EST)

That could be a spotlight window of 18 big games to put on TV with no competition in the college sphere.

This is such a missed opportunity since NCAA Football doesn't start until a few weeks later.

For the first two weeks, NCAA WoSo should be reserving Wednesday and Saturday for JUST a set of marquee games that would be the only thing on the schedule those days.

[Chris Henderson @chris_awk]

OK, I'm going to have to go on an NCAA WoSo scheduling rant, because one particular change is driving me nuts.

Starting the season on a Wednesday with no greater plan is driving me nuts, especially since about 40% of the teams are still starting on that Thursday!

Looks like Summit League WoSo is going to a ten-game schedule, with each team playing four teams once and three teams twice.

Gardner-Webb names Spring Hill College's Samantha Thomsit as their new head coach.

[Chris Henderson @chris_awk]

The Big West is moving to a WED-SAT league format for the 2026 WoSo season.

Conference tournament is also going to be a WED-SAT-WED setup.

[Chris Henderson @chris_awk]

Next update will come after we've crossed the 100 schedule threshold, probably in a few weeks.

Looks like another WoSo conference tournament is cutting the number of qualifiers for 2026, as the Mountain West Tournament will have just the top four teams qualify.

[Chris Henderson @chris_awk]

Kentucky got smoked in the WoSo May Portal.

Lost Poretto to Notre Dame, Hoytink and Strickland to FSU.

Would've been one of my big sleepers before May 1 hit.

[Chris Henderson @chris_awk]

Gabi Poretto to Notre Dame from Kentucky.

That's the last major piece of the high major transfer portal puzzle for the offseason barring some last minute grad transfers or coaching changes.

[Chris Henderson @chris_awk]

Another big opening night matchup in NCAA WoSo confirmed with USC hosting Duke.

Trojans then travel to play at Pepperdine and at BYU for a big three game stretch to open up 2026.

It looks like the Big East WoSo Tournament is staying at four teams for 2026 but moving to a WED-SAT setup.
