June 23, 2023 News and Notes

• The four-year NCAA investigation into LSU football and men's basketball is concluded.
• Will Wade was fired from LSU, and now will have to present to the NCAA for the next two years to be allowed to coach at McNeese State.  (That's the "show-cause" situation.)  He is also suspended the first ten games of this season.  Why was he allowed to coach in the first place?  Because it's McNeese State and no one cares?   
• 37 wins over a four-year period of the football program have been vacated from 2012-2015.
• This penalty disqualifies football coach Les Miles from the College Football Hall of Fame.  ... as if the findings should not have done this on their own.   
• One of the violations is from Odell Beckham Jr. handing out money to the team after the 2020 National Championship Game.
• And still LSU football is allowed to exist:  Three years probation for the football and mens' basketball.
• The NHL is now officially shitlisted by people who care about human rights.  The Russians have won:  Not only will there be no further Pride uniforms for the league, but no such special uniforms for any group will be allowed.  Mr. Bettman has shown the Russian contingent to be the league's greatest asset.   
• Speaking of shit list:  5% of the Washington Wizards, Mystics, and Capitals is going to be apparently attempted to be bought...  by the country of Qatar.
