- Geno Hayes has passed away. He was 33.
- A LeBron James rookie card has gone for a record $5,200,000 at auction.
- In a shock decision, NBC has opted out of the NHL for the new contract. The second network for the contract will be Turner Sports -- meaning AEW may have to find a new night!
- The timeframe for everyone to get Real ID updates to fly and the like has been extended again due to COVID -- May, 2023 is now the target for the requirement.
- Took seven years, but Jackie Robinson West finally admitted to the use of ineligible players when it won the US Championship in 2014, but got stripped of it soon after.
- Final nail in the coffin, we hope? Mark Emmert has just been given a four-year extension as head of the NCAA.
- The use of ineligible players (and possible pay-to-recruit violations -- both to college and to the high school) have cost Valdosta High School seven wins from last year, this year's playoffs, and a $7,500 fine.
- It has also cost them their coach, as he was fired by the school's Board of Education a week later. Rush Propst was recorded needing "funny money" from boosters to support players and families who wanted to come to Valdosta HS -- and also was remarking similar "funny money" from SEC powers to send his players to their schools.
- And the story gets worse. Propst won five state titles with a school in Alabama, but was effectively fired when it was found out he had a woman and an entire family on the side!! That also cost him his then-wife, but he then married the other woman!
The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.
