In our latest podcast, we look at off-court matters like a new name, image and likeness law as well as the first school to be punished by the NCAA coming out of the FBI investigation. Also, we look at a big loss for the Gators and some questions about the future of mid-major conferences, especially if they have a big geographic footprint.
On a day where five automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament went out, there was bigger news that was not as positive. Plus, yes, five bids did go out, another championship matchup is all set, and a few more tournaments get underway.
The first two NCAA Tournament bids went out after dramatic finishes in championship games to set the stage. Plus a long day of tournaments ends with a thrilling back-and-forth between two star guards, a surprise champion in the ACC and a three-way tie atop the Big East.
Conference play is about to begin in earnest all around the country. How does every conference in Division I shape up after non-conference play has (mostly) completed? We take a look here.
Another season is almost here, and while the season seems to start too early, it might be just right this time around. It’s high time we got to focus on the action on the hardwood instead of off it.
The Pac-12 champions were expected to have a chance at that before the season, though not quite in the fashion they did it. Plus championship games rule the day, a few more semifinals set the stage, and one more coaching change.
On a night with five automatic bids handed out, one of them was a shocker to gain a second bid for the league. Plus it wasn’t a good night for higher seeds, and one more coach is out.
Few have been talking about the ACC regular season co-champions despite the incredible season they have had. Plus one team is now officially in the field, upsets rule a couple of conference tournaments, and one team backs into an outright regular season title.
After the last day without a Division I game for a few months, we look at how the conferences shape up since non-conference play is just about in the books. Plus a story from the gridiron that seems to unbelievable to be a coincidence.
We commence another season of the Morning Dish with a look at a few conferences this upcoming season. Plus a Bulldog goes down for a while, and the Hurricanes take care of a local opponent in an exhibition.
