Florida coach Tim Walton was ejected for arguing balls and strikes, and the teams did not shake hands postgame amid tense exchanges. Williams went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, while Tech coach Gerry Glasco praised her performance as they advance to the WCWS.

Day backs 24-team CFP as a boon for the sport but questions its fit for Ohio State

Ohio State coach Ryan Day says a 24-team College Football Playoff would be great for the sport and could engage more fan bases, but it might not be optimal for Ohio State; the format would have included the Buckeyes in most past seasons, while Oregon coach Dan Lanning sees broad benefits for the sport even if it doesn’t clearly help every program, and seeding complexity could affect strategies at the top.

NAACP mobilizes Black athletes to boycott college programs amid voting-power redistricting

The NAACP launches an “Out of Bounds” campaign urging Black athletes and supporters to boycott eight flagship public universities in eight states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas) and to withhold tickets as states redraw districts following a Supreme Court ruling that narrowed voting-rights protections. The goal is to pressure leaders to restore Black voting power and ensure fair maps, with recruits encouraged to consider transferring to historically Black colleges and universities.

March Madness Expansion Critics: A Change Fans Didn’t Need

An opinion piece arguing that expanding the NCAA Tournament to 76 teams was unnecessary and driven by power conferences and NCAA leadership, not fan demand; while it adds roughly 240 more players and aims to generate about $50 million more annually, it will dilute the excitement of Selection Sunday, require costly travel for eight more teams per gender, and risk watering down the field with more mediocre bids from big conferences.
