Had to happen eventually--a State player transferring elsewhere in the league, that is. Ebe played high school ball in Georgia so this move makes sense.

Hours after Syracuse lost to Wake in the ACC tourney, Jim Boeheim is finished. Feels overdue.

It's been a rough year in South Bend and lately the Irish have been missing the NCAAs more often than not, so I guess this isn't terribly surprising. Still weird though.
Who’s up for expanding the NCAA tournament?
What’s the correct amount of March Madness?
USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten
It’s not good for college sports, but it’s a sign of the times.
Manny Bates is headed to Butler

Losing Manny Bates was rough, but at least he left for a school I neither like nor dislike, and that NC State doesn't have to play. [insert Alonzo Mourning gif here]
NCAA will attempt to rein in NIL collectives
Good luck with that.

"We made a deep tournament run," they'll say. "We played for the national championship," they'll say. See, we figured out how to not win a national title like four months ago. Now who's the sucker.

U.S. Attorney alleges during a March 17 meeting with UofL officials, Gaudio threatened expose recruiting violations to the media. More coming.
Well here's a wild development. Remember Dino Gaudio, the coach who did an okay job at Wake and more recently had been an assistant at Louisville? He tried to blackmail UL into paying him 17 months' worth of salary. (He was fired in March.) Like damn, dude, you got gambling debts or something?
