The transfer eligibility rules are changing across college athletics.
The NCAA issued an updated memo to college athletics programs regarding the waiver process for undergraduates who are two-time transfers.
CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein obtained the memo, and tweeted out a copy on Wednesday.

One of this season’s new rule changes seems to be working on the field. There’s just one problem: Players and league officials can’t agree on what to call it.
What do you call the thing that counts down as a pitcher delivers?

It can be hard to tell which NFL teams win in March, but these are the eight squads that should see results on the field thanks to what they’ve done this month.
Winning in March can come in various forms for NFL teams. There’s always that one team that splurges during the first week of free agency and revamps its roster because it has a ton of cap space, but that often means it wasn’t a good team the previous season. That said, adding talent to a terrible roster is still a win.
In the Bengals’ case, they made one big move, with the addition of left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.

John Peterson is a former national champion at LSU, a former PGA Tour player, a father of four, and someone who possesses common sense. Hailey Davidson is a golfer, a biological man, and competes against women as a transgender athlete.
The two recently got into it on Twitter, and Peterson put on an absolute masterclass that needs to be brought to everyone’s attention.
It all started when Monday Q Info shared a picture of a leaderboard from a women’s mini-tour event in Florida. Bella Dovhey, a 15-year-old, won the event beating the 28-year-old Davidson by a shot.

Commissioner George Kliavkoff is fighting like an absolute dog to land a new media deal, and there have been some positive signs that something will get done in the near future.

Jerry Swarbrick suggests to SI that the years-long splintering of the association will reach extremes, with rich, like-minded college programs breaking away.
Without resolutions to name, image and likeness from itself, Congress and professional sports, the NCAA is in jeopardy of eventually breaking apart, says Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick.

The Bulldogs and Bruins already share a storied NCAA tournament history that’s worth diving into ahead of the third chapter in Thursday’s Sweet 16 matchup.
“Heartbreak City!”
Those two words from broadcaster Gus Johnson, combined with the tears that streamed down Adam Morrison’s face as Johnson said them, defined one of the most authentic March moments the men’s NCAA tournament has ever provided.

Both Kansas State and FAU helped secure their spots in the Sweet 16 with plays that looked to be straight from the gridiron.
NEW YORK—Picture this: Your team’s up a few points with time ticking down. You know the opponent is about to foul, and they know that you know they’re going to foul. Your best free throw shooters are on the floor and it’s time to ice the basketball game and get out of the building with a victory. For Kansas State and FAU, that means it can be time to play football.

Over the past couple of weeks, some notable players have changed addresses, but there’s no doubt teams put an emphasis on slowing down offenses next season.
While NFL free agency will continue for months with the occasional signing, the meat of the madness is done.
