Stepladder Brackets Turn Conference Tournaments Into March Madness Prep

Conferences are increasingly using stepladder-style brackets to reward regular-season success and boost the odds that mid- and low-major teams can compete in the NCAA Tournament. The Sun Belt leads with a seven-round ladder, where seeds like No. 7 can face multiple higher seeds, while top seeds get byes or easier paths; other leagues (WCC, AAC, Big Ten, MEAC) are adopting similar formats to protect strong teams, increase competitiveness, and drive revenue from advancing NCAA teams.

Investor-Owned Rentals Surge, Impacting Homebuyers and Residents

A U.S. Government Accountability Office report reveals that Atlanta has the highest share of investor-owned single-family rental properties among major U.S. cities, with 25% of the market. The report highlights the significant role of institutional investors in the Sun Belt region, particularly following the 2007-08 financial crisis. Critics argue that such investments contribute to rising rents and home prices, though the report's findings on these impacts are inconclusive. The report calls for further analysis to understand the effects on homeownership and tenant conditions.

Troy Set to Hire Gerad Parker as Head Coach

Gerad Parker, the offensive coordinator for Notre Dame, is set to become the next head coach at Troy University. Parker, who has previous coaching experience at Purdue, Penn State, West Virginia, and Duke, has a similar background to the successful past coaches at Troy. He will replace Jon Sumrall, who recently left for Tulane after winning back-to-back Sun Belt titles. Parker's hiring is seen as a result of his experience as an offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator. This marks the second football hire for Troy's athletic director, Brent Jones. Notre Dame will now need to find its third offensive coordinator in three years.
