@centralcoastn83 Ooooooooo. Hm. That would be wild. Would LOVE to see it. We’d 100 percent run the BW….

Lots of impacts of the impact.

[Marsha Lycan @mlycan12]

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.

[Sickos Committee @SickosCommittee]

It’s not for sure yet, but it looks like we are well on our way to 76 team basketball tournaments in D1.

Looking forward to seeing arguments about which .500 P5 team should be allowed in the tournament.

@WCCSG_ stangs.

[Fansmanship @fansmanship]

@FanaticsSupport It’s not even April. I know I’m not the only one. Started getting ads for them a day ago. Why don’t you make enough for Dodger fans who want to spend money with you? Same thing happened last year. Sold out in a few days before I even saw em…. Lame.

[Fansmanship @fansmanship]

@Fanatics are you making any more of the Dodgers blue and gold hats in the middle/sold out sizes? If so, when will they be available?

If you find yourself bored at some point, you should consider watching a few minutes of this basketball game.

It’s Grinnell (2nd ranked offense and 401st defense in D3 CBB) vs. Greenville (1st ranked offense and 408th defense in D3)

Both teams sub 5 new guys in every minute, press every possession, and chuck shots.

It feels like there is a full court pass every 30 seconds and neither team plays man defense.

Grinnell scored 94 points in the 2nd half going 30-39 from the field.

The teams combined for 84 3 pointers attempted.

There were a combined 50 turnovers.

The worst part is there were 91 free throws shot with 59 combined fouls.

Grinnell went 22-4 this year and lost in the first round of the D3 NCAA Tournament. Greenville went 11-15 and lost in their conference tournament quarterfinals.

@bigdonkey47 @centralcoastn83 All you gotta do is get here. Jake and the team will take good care of you.

What advice does Mark Pope have for young, aspiring journalists?

I’m teaching an upper‑level journalism course at #UK this semester, and on Thursday, I took my class to Pope’s press conference. I asked him what guidance he’d give the next generation of journalists. His answer was worth hearing.
