Iowa coach: 'Dealbreaker' if players bet on Hawkeyes' games
Georgia’s new offensive coordinator is hardly a stranger in these parts. Mike Bobo played quarterback for the Bulldogs back in the 1990s. He worked on Mark Richt’s coaching staff for more than a decade, including a lengthy stint calling the plays. Despite all that familiarity, Bobo might be …
The realignment frenzy in college athletics is all about football. And all that money, of course. There is barely a consideration of how these seismic changes will affect every other team on campus. From grueling road trips to missed classes to mental health challenges, it’s hard to see anyt…

SEATTLE — In one Seattle-based conversation, people might be talking about a certain West Coast conference's 108-year history and its imminent demise. In another one, people might be discussing a certain Midwest conference and how its recent acquisitions will shape college football for decad…
CHICAGO — In order to find mecca, one must take a journey. For four Wednesdays this summer, fans in the flyest pairs of sneakers and trendiest fashions lined up at a high rise in the city’s West Loop neighborhood. Some show up an hour or more before the start time of the Jumpman Summer Series to ensure they can get into one of the most exclusive basketball events. Basketball, local basketball, ...
PITTSBURGH — What a shame to see the conference formerly known as the Pac-12 (and Pac-10, and Pac-8, and Pacific Coast Conference) withering away on life support on account of college football's latest money-fueled implosion. It's not even a six Pac anymore. It's the Pac-4. Obituaries roll in by the day, commemorating the 108-year-old league that gave us too many sports luminaries to count, ...
DALLAS — For how many weeks (or perhaps it was months) were SMU fans led to believe they were on their way to the big time in the form of the Pac-12? Well, Bill Walton’s beloved “conference of champions” is now a conference of yesteryear, so excuse me for not buying in immediately to the notion that SMU is bound for the ACC. The latest reports have indicated the Mustangs are even willing to ...
The latest round of conference realignment, which came to a boil with last week's implosion of the Pac-12, will not impact the 2023 Holiday Bowl. This year's game will pair Pac-12 and ACC teams Dec. 27 at Petco Park as scheduled. Next year? That's another matter. "Next year, yes, there are going to be changes," said Mark Neville, CEO of Sports San Diego, which produces the Holiday Bowl. "With ...
USC’s search for a new athletic director included a hard look at the guy in Fort Worth, who is not going to follow Lincoln Riley to L.A. Sources said that TCU director of athletics Jeremiah Donati has withdrawn his name for consideration as the next athletic director at USC. Donati was unavailable for comment. After arguably the most successful 12-month stretch in the history of TCU’s athletic ...
You may find this hard to believe. The opportunistic disassembly of the Pac-12 and the cannibalization of college athletics — it all can be traced to the NCAA’s failure to act with reason and foresight. Undoubtedly, university presidents and college athletics administrators get their share of the blame, too. They’ve chased a bigger slice of the pie and made a mockery of the notion of acting in ...
There was a simple logic to Georgia Tech hiring Paul Johnson as football coach. He would help the Yellow Jackets beat opponents who had more player talent, same as he did at Navy. It worked, for the most part. Johnson’s Jackets won four division titles, one ACC championship and an Orange Bowl. He won three times at Sanford Stadium, including a victory over Kirby Smart. The Jackets won at a ...

UNC Greensboro made a strong run at the national championship in men’s soccer last fall, reaching the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament. The Spartans were rewarded for that effort last week with a top-10 ranking in the preseason United Soccer Coaches poll, and the opening weeks of the 202…
It's not easy picking a preseason Top 25. Take it from voters in The Associated Press poll. The 62 writers and broadcasters judge teams' bodies of work in the regular season. Preseason voting is a guessing game. Voters interviewed said some of the biggest factors they consider are whether a team has a returning quarterback, how many other starters are back, transfer portal additions and subtractions and the way a team finished the previous season. This year's preseason poll will be released Monday at noon Eastern.

ACC presidents convened virtually again Wednesday evening — at least two were traveling internationally — without resolving the expansion question
The Atlantic Coast Conference presidents have chosen not to vote on whether to add Stanford and California to the league. That's according to two people with knowledge of the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the ACC nor the schools disclosed their internal discussions publicly. The ACC's inaction keeps the Northern California schools in limbo as they look for an escape from the crumbling Pac-12. The ACC has also been looking at SMU, the Dallas-based school from the American Athletic Conference, as an expansion target.

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is back to full health and determined to finalize the business agreement with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf. Monahan has spoken publicly for the first time since he returned to work from a health scare. He stepped away a week after the Saudi deal was announced and said anxiety had built up over time. He believes the deal is the right path for the PGA Tour and that will be shown over time. The agreement has a Dec. 31 deadline to get it done. Monahan says that's the target and it's realistic.
Northwestern athletic director Derrick Gragg blasted assistant football coaches and staff members for wearing shirts supporting fired coach Pat Fitzgerald at practice Wednesday, calling them "inappropriate, offensive and tone deaf" given the hazing and abuse scandal engulfing the football program and other teams. Gragg says he and the university were unaware that the assistants and staff members owned the black shirts with "Cats Against the World" and Fitzgerald's old number "51" in purple type or would wear them at practice. He issued the statement after interim coach David Braun called it a free speech issue and said his focus was on supporting his players and staff.

PHILADELPHIA — Let’s think about the unthinkable. Last week’s extinction event forces us to wonder about what’s next in college sports. Could the Atlantic Coast Conference evaporate as the Pac-12 is doing right now? Should the Big East be worried? First rule … ignore all logic. Nobody would make up what’s happening now from scratch. The Power 5 turned out to be a mirage. It’s a Power 2, the ...
