WNBA Expansion Slowly Easing Roster Squeeze

1 week ago | frontofficesports.com | Margaret Fleming

In the WNBA, it happens every year. About a week after the women’s NCAA tournament crowns a champion, a few dozen fresh-eyed hoopers are drafted into the WNBA. They ship out to their new cities and try their best at training camp, but by the time official rosters are released in May, roughly half of those selected on draft night—if that—make the cut. The WNBA has a space problem, and it knows it.

College football finally has what appears to be a public, messy contract holdout with all the makings of a high profile NFL negotiation. Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava skipped practice Friday one day before the team’s spring game amid reports that he is renegotiating a lucrative NIL deal to stay in Knoxville—and social media posts from his father denying the story. On Thursday, On3 reported Iamaleava was in discussions with Tennessee about a new deal.

The 2030 World Cup could have twice as many teams as the tournament’s most recent iteration did—if the South American soccer governing body gets its way. On Thursday the president of CONMEBOL officially proposed expanding the tournament hosted by Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina to include 64 teams. The 2022 World Cup hosted by Qatar featured 32 teams, while next year’s event hosted by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada will feature 48 teams for the first time.

The Pirates are facing their second backlash from fans this week after commemorative “Bucco Bricks” were found at a recycling facility. The local news outlet KDKA first reported the news. Fans purchased about 10,000 bricks that have lined the sidewalks outside the home gate entrance to PNC Park. The team introduced the “Bucco Bricks” in 1999 before opening the park in 2001, and says they have now removed them three times over the years.

2 weeks ago | frontofficesports.com | Margaret Fleming

The professional arm of League One Volleyball (or LOVB, pronounced “love”) played its first matches in January, but the organization quietly laid roots in the volleyball world over the past several years. Founded in 2020, the league bought up and built out a network of thousands of youth teams across the country, which created a natural fan base (and one-day pipeline) for its eventual pro teams.
Local Stars With Big Followings

Imagine a league structure in which incoming rookies who have massive clout coming out of school join the pro team closest to their college town. Cooper Flagg would head to Charlotte to play for the Hornets, Jayden Daniels would have joined the New Orleans Saints, and Caleb Williams would have stayed in L.A. with the Rams or Chargers. College sports fans would keep their stars close, and pro teams would automatically feel that love through ticket sales.
