On February 13, 2024, Tennessee attorney general Jonathan Skrmetti issued a chest-thumping statement outside a courthouse in Greeneville, Tenn. Skrmetti was legally challenging the NCAA on behalf of the Tennessee Volunteers, and specifically on behalf of quarterback Nico Iamaleava. “It’s a wonderful day to fight on behalf of our student-athletes in Tennessee; they are the backbone of college sports,” Skrmetti said.

USA Swimming continued its leadership makeover with a major move, tabbing Stanford women’s coach Greg Meehan to be its next national team managing director. In that role, Meehan will be the staff member most directly responsible for the U.S.’s in-pool performance in international competition. The hiring of Meehan should help calm the waters and fill a leadership void as USA Swimming continues its search for a new CEO.

SAN ANTONIO - Once, twice, three times the Wilson Evo NXT basketball bounced, untouched, alone. The game was ending, the season was ending, it felt like the world was ending in the Alamodome-and the deciding possession was suddenly in surreal limbo. An electric and dramatic Final Four, one of the best ever, dissolved into an awkward anticlimax. The ending felt all wrong. Houston Cougars guard Emanuel Sharp needed a teammate to come get the loose ball that bounced in front of him.

SAN ANTONIO — There was a single minute remaining Saturday night, and the Houston Cougars were down six points to the Duke Blue Devils. The odds were not in Houston’s favor. Yet Kelvin Sampson, 39 games into his 36th season as a college head basketball coach, decided that it was not yet time to resort to desperate measures. He would not start the usually futile process of deliberately fouling in order to extend the game. He would ride with what he’s always ridden.

Having already done everything asked of him—which was a lot—Florida Gators guard Walter Clayton Jr. scored his final points of the night while walking toward the Alamodome locker room. He autographed a 14-year-old kid’s white sneaker when the kid dangled it over the railing. You know you’ve made it big when someone takes off a shoe and asks you to sign it at the Final Four. “I’ve seen it all year,” Clayton said, his demeanor even-keel as always.

Impressive PsychoCard from Sam Burns today at Augusta: six birdies, one bogey, three double-bogeys with one hole to play.
Justin Rose has said he's in the "Indian Summer" of his career a few times in recent years. At age 44, he's having a gorgeous Indian Summer day in the spring at Augusta. Eight-under through 16 holes and four shots ahead of second place.
A rite of spring spoofing the rite of spring. @ChrisVernonShow's bit never disappoints:
