Day 315

• The NBA called off the sixth consecutive Washington Wizards game last night.  
• In a last-ditch effort to save the European domestic leagues, FIFA announced this morning that any players playing in a breakaway Super League would be banned from the World Cup.
• Aaron Rodgers is stirring the pot, probably needlessly, to give a possible Packer storyline for Super Bowl LV.  He said yesterday his future was "a beautiful mystery".
• Florida-Carolina in the NHL has already been postponed for tonight.
• Alexandr Ovechkin has been fined for violations of the NHL COVID protocols -- four Washington Capitals are in the protocol now because he had to be stupid, and the team has been fined $100,000.
• Larry Scott is out as Commissioner of the Pac-12 Conference at the end of the school year.  Not sure anyone can save THAT sunken ship.  
• Notre Dame is on probation for one year for minor recruiting violations.
• It appears as if some of the major recruiting violations which got Tennessee's coach fired involved direct booster-to-recruit payments...
• The Times of London is reporting that part of the governing coalition of Japan has stated that the Olympics for Tokyo WILL have to be cancelled, and that Tokyo is lobbying for the next available Summer Games in 2032.  There is no confirmation of that point at this time, and it is believed that the Tokyo Games are still on for 2021.  Fat freaking chance.  The only thing is:  I do not believe the Olympic movement survives a full cancellation.   
• Three days before he is slated to fight Dustin Poirier again on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, Conor McGregor is being sued AGAIN for sexual assault, according to Deadspin.  Anyone surprised?  Bueller?  BUELLER???
