Not sure I love that the Syracuse AD that will be conducting the first true MBB coaching search in 60+ years will be stepping down months later (even though the Wildhack news isn't a huge surprise). With Chancellor unsettled too.

wild AI story from the Olympics
ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it

Certified Chris Hooks Classic, here. It is very detailed and humane in telling the story it tells, which concerns the damage that a small number of snitches, creeps, and dullards have done to this institution, but also about the long history and awful present of snitches/creeps/dullards doing that.

The rise of Seahawks DC Aden Durde is unlike any story in modern NFL coaching.
But it's *because* he was born and raised in the U.K. that he was able to master his craft, not in spite of it.

The Patriots' offense requires the QB & WR to read the defense in real time after the play starts, come to the same conclusions, and then (telepathically?) adjust the route tree accordingly. This deserves repsect, however much you hate Brady or Boston.
The Quarterback Development Question That Could Be Answered by Super Bowl LX
