Top ACB scorer Jerrick Harding is close to signing in Lithuania, per sources. The expected deal would include a EuroLeague exit clause for the 2025–26 season. More 👇 basketnews.com/news-228475-to…
⚾️STORY: Shane Burcar coaches up his kids in Little League during NAU basketball's offseason @NAUCoachBurcar has been a little league mainstay since came to Flagstaff. This summer he helped lead his team to the state semifinal alongside his son, Bennett. azdailysun.com/sports/local/s…
Clemson swiped the best player off Nevada, Utah Valley and Middle Tennessee as well as a starter from Georgia with this supposedly-meager budget. Them not being able to afford to keep their eighth man from last year is a question of priorities more than lack of funds.
Another example of how DI basketball teams at schools without football can potentially have a recruiting advantage now. Del Jones transferred from Clemson to Radford after Radford offered him more rev share $. Radford doesn’t have to use any cap space on football.
I’ll go ahead and say it…@ncaa @CharlieBakerMA @Tim_BuckleyMA this is a false bill of sale….you both sold us and every member institution of the 28 “other” conferences on the House settlement and its parameters and then changed the game…once again
Attorneys have resolved a dispute over how the College Sports Commission handles NIL collectives, sources tell @YahooSports, revising its approach to treat them like other businesses - a major move that paves the way for continued collective operations bit.ly/4kVo5od
Will was in the mix at center, he starting taking reps last season at that spot
Unfortunate news: Former Pusch Ridge lineman Will Way will not be able to have a homecoming appearance on the field at Arizona Stadium when Weber State visits Sept. 6. The third-year sophomore offensive lineman recently suffered a torn hamstring and is out at least three months,…
When we first started working with Dame in 2012, I was impressed by how comfortable and detailed he was answering questions. I asked him where that comfort came from. He gave a biz coms/speech course he took at Weber State the credit.
It's a real treat getting to hear Dame talk at length again, one of the great press conference athletes
More random football notes: Decent chance Weber State and Idaho State begin playing "color rush" in their rivalry games going forward. It's been discussed, at least. Weber would wear purple, ISU orange every time out. (Something similar you see with USC/UCLA, BYU/Utah, others)
I've attended one of those November night games in Cedar City. The facilities were awful, there were no accessible restrooms, and you needed ten layers of winter clothing to stay alive. Won't do it again. Cedar is the least hospitable town in Utah.
Dame speaks on the moment he tore his Achilles 😔 "Everybody else had more pity for me than I did. ... Talking to Aaron Rodgers, and KD, and Rudy Gay, all these guys who experienced it. I never had that moment of pity with none of my injuries. ... It's a mental battle, I don't…
UTU or SUU will play only 8 as part of their entry agreement. This is more an issue of adding a 12th game to the FCS season. Without adding an extra BSC game, getting a 4th noncon each year is difficult for BSC teams.
James Madison, the FBS opponent in Weber State's season opener, was voted first in the Sun Belt's East division (first overall too, I think?)
This is ... pretty outrageous
While not a long-form agreement, I sourced my first #SEC football GM contract that rivals what some of the top-end earners in the #B1G are making This deal comes with a 3-year term and escalates to $950,000 in the 2027 season with bonuses pushing compensation into seven-figures
Yooo this is a good get, Weber!

This weekend we have been discussing moving to a nine-game @BigSkyFB conference schedule starting with the 2026 season, which will create only more excitement for our league and increase our competitiveness.
Had to happen, assuming the 12-game schedule becomes permanent. There aren't enough teams out west to feel good about 4 nonconf games every year
#BigSkyFB teams will have nine conference games beginning in 2026, Wistrcill just announced.
