There are two reasons people watch the World Cup. And for some, there is no reason.

Brendan Sorsby placed thousands of sports bets, some on his own team, and the NCAA said he was ineligible. But a Texas judge today paved the way for Sorsby to play.
Iowa and Iowa State fans say, "What?!''

Of course people in Iowa are outraged by the court injunction favoring Brendan Sorsby, given what happened to its athletes a few years ago. The NCAA actually got it right banning him and I'd be shocked if it didn't appeal, and perhaps win. Sorsby broke rules 9,000 times.
Former Cedar Rapids Kennedy prep and 2-time CR City Amateur champion Caine Fitzgerald @CaineFitz qualified Wednesday for the U.S. Senior Open in July in Columbus, Ohio.
Fitzgerald, 53, a Colorado PGA pro, was medalist with a 69 in Colorado Springs.

Are those self-help reels and videos really beneficial?
And .. is the return on investment in Milan Momcilovic anything less than a Kentucky natty?

Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard on SEC/Big Ten threatening to break away to form its own league:
“Let them break away. We should break away from them. Let them go, but they have to go in all their sports & see how fun it is to play baseball, softball & track when it’s just the 20 of you. That’s what I think we should do, but I'm one person & that’s probably a little more draconian. That’s how I feel about it. Like, let’s quit talking about it. Quit threatening. Go do it. But if you’re going to do it, you don’t get to just do it in football & then keep all your other sports w/us. No, take them all. See how fun it is.”
When he took the gloves off, 290-to-1 longshot Aaron Rai found himself in the winner's circle.
White Sox series win and PCA's rabbit ears.
Iowa has a seat at the B1G baseball tournament.
