Can Luke Fickell put Wisconsin back on top? Can Deion Sanders revive Colorado? Who is under immediate pressure?
The dust has mercifully settled on the 2022–23 college football coaching hiring cycle (we think). The latest Silly Season left us with 24 coaches leading new programs. It’s quite the range of characters.
We have former TV analysts coaching at Colorado (Deion Sanders) and UAB (Trent Dilfer), once-fired coaches at FAU (Tom Herman) and Nebraska (Matt Rhule), and a 32-year-old hired at Arizona State (Kenny Dillingham).

The Southeastern Conference Spring Meetings in Destin, Florida, this May and June will be all about perms.
Not the awful 1970s men haircuts, but the three permanent opponents all 16 SEC football teams will get starting with the 2024 schedule when Texas and Oklahoma join the league.
Before the meetings, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey hopes to have a new, nine-game league schedule with the format of six non-annual opponents and three permanent, annual foes nailed down.

Tuesday marks the beginning of the Big East men’s basketball tournament—and the 10-year anniversary of a bold move that saved the conference from extinction.
At this time 10 years ago, the Big East Conference had a name, a history and a clear vision of what it wanted to be—and no longer wanted to be. What it didn’t have was anything else.
There was no commissioner. No office. No bank account. No website. No work email. No staff benefit plan.

The Yankees star is on par with Mookie Betts—yes, Mookie Betts—when it comes to top sprinting speed.
As Aaron Judge galloped toward history last year, he identified only one problem with his astonishing season: He did not, actually, do enough galloping. He wanted to steal 20 bases, and hitting 62 home runs meant he had 62 fewer chances to do that. He finished with 16 swipes.
So on the day he re-signed with the Yankees for nine years and $360 million this winter, he sent the team’s baserunning coordinator, Matt Talarico, a text: I’m ready to get back to work.

Here are the top cornerback options in this year’s free agent class
While in Indianapolis for the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine, I had a wonderful conversation with Maddy Glab, one of the team reporters for the Buffalo Bills. During our chat we talked about how the NFL does a tremendous job at keeping fans interested throughout the year.
Free agency is a prime example.

John Skipper just can’t stop pumping out terrible ideas.
Skipper oversaw the crash and decline of ESPN before ultimately leaving over a cocaine scandal. The man’s legacy is that he watched ESPN go from a sports network to a woke hellhole.
Since leaving ESPN, he suggested the Super Bowl embrace a pay-per-view model and charge people to watch at home. His latest idea isn’t that dumb, but it’s still pretty stupid.
He thinks the PAC-12 should join the ACC in order to survive.
