• The following would be a negative effect on college sports resulting from the virus shutdown.
One collegiate sports source noted that many schools that will end up cutting sports had long been thinking about it. COVID-19 becomes the cover to do so, as one official brought up the old Winston Churchill quote: “Never waste a good crisis.”
“Athletic directors are using this as a reset,” said an industry source. “Some athletic directors have been talking about cutting sports for three years and just looking for the right time.” [Yahoo Sports]
Is college sports a “business” or is it about scholarship and the development of young people? Conferences are asking for relief where they can but the trimming could be significant.
• This line about incoming freshman Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe was fun to read.
“The kid will be an NBA player,” Orangeville Prep coach Tony McIntyre said. “It’s just a matter if it’s one year or two years. He would be a top-25 to top-50 kid if he played his high school basketball in the U.S.” [NewsOK]
• This article looking at Kyle Cox’s favorite plays from each season of the Gundy Era was terrific
• Cowgirls added a pair yesterday – one of the signees is an Aussie and the other is 6’5″
• Excited for Mike Boynton to get these three players in the fold
• (Likely to be) Most influential draft class since 2005?
