MIAMI — What is most remarkable about Miami steadfastly and beyond debate being a Football Town is that our two goliaths, the Dolphins and Hurricanes, have spent so much of the past quarter century not earning the title but seemingly trying to give it away. Yet, as the most cherished season …
LOS ANGELES — Kaedin Robinson, a former record-setting wide receiver at Appalachian State whose bid to play for UCLA this fall was blocked by the NCAA, has sued the college governing body in an effort to receive one more season of eligibility. In the lawsuit filed this week in the Central Di…
ORLANDO, Fla. — Here’s hoping all of the vocal Teddy Bridgewater supporters both locally and nationally are right about the former NFL quarterback who has been suspended as the football coach at Miami Northwestern High School for apparently providing impermissible benefits — Uber rides, meal…

DALLAS — Paul Finebaum once called Bill Curry, one of the most venerated men ever to play or coach football and a genuinely nice guy in the bargain, “a scumbag with no credibility,” so when the host of the nation’s most popular college football show claimed Arch Manning could be “the greates…
WASHINGTON — A House subcommittee on Tuesday advanced legislation that seeks to address recent seismic changes in how college athletes are compensated. The legislation, introduced last week by Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., would create national standards for name, image and likeness deals, whi…
MIAMI — Jonah Savaiinaea’s football conditioning, mastery of the offense, playbook and his technique are critical to the Miami Dolphins’ success in 2025. Dolphins management traded a significant amount of resources to move up 11 spots in the 2025 NFL draft to select the University of Arizona…
ATLANTA — SEC commissioner Greg Sankey took issue with indirect criticism from his ACC and Big 12 counterparts. How dare they suggest that Sankey and Big Ten partner Tony Petitti make decisions in the best interest of their leagues to the detriment of college football overall? “I don’t need lectures from others about the good of the game,” Sankey said at the start of the SEC spring meetings in ...
ORLANDO, Fla. — What is the annual salary of University of Florida quarterback DJ Lagway? What is UCF defensive tackle John Walker being paid? How much are state taxpayers kicking in to underwrite the decision of quarterback Thomas Castellanos to transfer from Boston College to Florida State? As taxpayers, we have a right to know. It’s no secret that the era of amateurism in college athletics ...
PITTSBURGH — Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy is often criticized for being a bit too brazen, a bit too outspoken, and at times maybe even a bit too conservative, but he is always very entertaining, and quite often, his one-liners have a lot of truth to them. But on this subject of the NCAA, NIL and revenue share payrolls, he basically said the quiet part out loud. As a result, he is ...
LEXINGTON, Ky. — By the time you read this, the Division I men’s basketball committee may have announced an expansion of the NCAA tournament fields for future renewals of March Madness for both men’s and women’s basketball. It is widely expected that the current 68 team NCAA tourney bracket will be expanded moving forward to either 72 or 76 teams. In a college sports world of unceasing ...
FRISCO, Texas — The Big 12 saved Colorado head coach Deion Sanders for last. Sanders spoke at Big 12 Media Days at The Star in Frisco on Wednesday to round out the conference’s coach press conferences.

FRISCO, Texas — Behren Morton has been at Texas Tech since 2021, practically a lifetime for quarterbacks these days. A lot has happened in Lubbock since he arrived as a teenager from Eastland. He goes back so far, he can even remember when the Red Raiders weren’t sitting on the front row of college athletics’ bold new era. Which beats the back row, by the way. “Being at Tech for such a long ...
LOS ANGELES — As college athletic departments across the country brace for a new era of sharing revenue directly with their athletes, USC is eliminating a dozen jobs in its athletic department in an effort to reduce costs in the wake of the House vs. NCAA settlement.

FRISCO, Texas — There’s been much debate about expanding the College Football Playoff and what format the sport should use whenever the field is eventually expanded to 16 teams.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida Gators football coach Billy Napier and his brethren have been bracing for a roster reckoning spurred by the House v. NCAA antitrust settlement.

DALLAS — In this era of college athletics, there is no offseason. Something is always changing, from realignment to the transfer portal to NIL. But for athletic directors and departments across the nation, the start of the 2025 summer may have been their least relaxing yet. Last month, Judge Claudia Wilken approved a $2.8 billion antitrust settlement that will allow universities to directly ...
SEATTLE — Let's say you've been working a job you love for as long as you remember while making $150K a year doing it. It's the life you've known, the reality you've embraced — the future you were depending on. Then, the company all but collapses, hoses you in the process, and leaves you earning $40K annually. If your salary doubled a few years later, would you be feeling grateful for the ...
SEATTLE — First impressions can be tricky to accurately assess because most everyone is often on their best behavior and anxious to please. Such was the case early Monday morning when the Washington men’s basketball team gathered for its first summer workout at Alaska Airlines Arena.

LOS ANGELES — Three years after USC and UCLA triggered a mass exodus by bolting for the Big Ten, the Pac-12 has extended an invitation to Texas State to give the conference eight football-playing members. Texas State, currently part of the Sun Belt Conference, is expected to accept the offer Monday, according to several media outlets. The school would join the Pac-12 in July 2026. USC and UCLA ...
ORLANDO, Fla. — Let me preface what I’m about to say by reiterating a stance I’ve had for many years about Billy Donovan. I believe he is the greatest college coach — football or basketball — in our state’s history. Many college coaches in Florida have won national titles in football, but Billy D. — until the University of Florida’s Todd Golden won this year’s NCAA Tournament — had been the ...
Appalachian State defeated Northern Iowa to win the FCS championship
The ability of college athletes to cash in on their collegiate fame has led to fewer players jumping early to the NBA draft.
The NBA season as it stands right now is heading rapidly towards the playoffs, and all eyes are going to be on the teams in them to see who comes out on top. But for many others, their eyes are already on a different goal: the NBA Draft. Because the college basketball season was able to go i…
The general manager position has steadily risen to become a key to success for college athletic departments.Â
SEATTLE — “As far as having a chip on my shoulder,” Danny Sprinkle said, “it’s kind of always who I’ve been. If I have to make stuff up in my own mind to put that chip there, that’s what I do.” In this case, UW’s men’s basketball coach doesn’t need to make up any extra motivation. Not when Sprinkle’s team finished last in the Big Ten in his first season in Seattle, producing a 4-16 record in ...
