Drew Timme shared a very nice message after closing the door on his college career Saturday night.
Gonzaga got the brakes beat off them by UConn 82-54 in the Elite Eight, and it was the last time fans of the Bulldogs will see Timme in uniform. While he could actually return, the star college forward announced in February his time with the program would end at the end of the year.
Following the brutal loss, Timme spoke about how special Gonzaga will always be to him.

The wide receiver recently signed with New York.
It has been two weeks since Aaron Rodgers announced his intention to join the Jets, but the star quarterback still remains under contract to the Packers for the foreseeable future. That is despite the fact that New York signed wide receiver Allen Lazard away from Green Bay.
So far, New York and Green Bay haven’t found common ground on trade compensation, with about a month to go before the 2023 NFL draft and five months until Rodgers’s hefty option bonus is due.

The Big 12’s interest in adding Fresno State is apparently very real.
Back in February, it was reported talks were occurring between the Big 12 and the Mountain West program amid commissioner Brett Yormark’s desire to expand west.
Initial belief was the conference would poach some PAC-12 programs. It’s unclear whether or not that option is still on the table. However, there appears to be little doubt the California-based school is very much in play.
