The NCAA is getting sued from all directions lately, as the courts have decided that amateur athletics are officially racist. Not precisely, but it's derivative of that. Long story short, the new rule as of last month is that football teams can extend 105 scholarships each but cannot carry any...

LOL. Michigan had one of the worst passing campaigns in modern collegiate history last season. They changed starting quarterbacks five times, shuffling through four guys. Jayden Denegal was a third-year player last season and was never even considered as a candidate for mop-up duty. I understand...

All set! You can now fill out your informed, racially-aware brackets with confidence. Please let me know if I missed any players.

MIDWEST REGIONAL: 1 Houston As my own energy and enthusiasm wane on this project, coach Kelvin Sampson makes this very easy for me, as there is nary a single white player to be found on his roster, this year or any of the other years! 16 SIUE The Cougars of Southern Illinois University...

EAST REGIONAL: 1 Duke The Blue Devils have two white American lottery picks, which makes them the best team to root for in the country. Cooper Flagg rolled his ankle last week and is not a lock to return at all this tournament, especially with his impending pro career in place. Kon Kneuppel...

WEST REGIONAL: 1 Florida The Gators start talented sophomore center Alex Condon, who is a borderline first round pick this summer. Sophomore forward Thomas Haugh comes off the bench and averages 9.4 points and 6 rebounds with 24 minutes per game. Backups Urban Klavzar and Micah Handlogten...

SOUTH REGIONAL: 1 Auburn Auburn doesn’t play any white players. Next! 16 Alabama St / Saint Francis PA Alabama State is an HCBU and has a roster and staff comprised entirely of black males. Saint Francis features starting guards Riley Parker and Bobby Rosenberger and rotational shooter Jeremy...

I'll be creating my breakdowns for March Madness regions again this year. I will create the posts for each region right now as "placeholders" and then complete them over the next few days - feel free to discuss things before I finish any of them. Duke basketball is a hot topic because Cooper...

I agree with @Leonardfan that McNamara peaked in 2021 and hasn't been regarded as a future pro for awhile now. Injuries have hurt his career, but his ego is not a non-factor here. To answer your first question, I imagine that even FCS schools can scrape up $200-$500k for a rental quarterback...

This is an unironic Hollywood offering that just won some sort of award.

Aaron Glenn ran more-or-less the whitest defense in the NFL over the past two years. Despite MANY injuries to their white defenders, the Lions seemed to keep finding (and playing) more of them. Aidan Hutchinson, Pat O'Connor, Alex Anzalone, Jack Campbell, Malcolm Rodriguez, Ben Niemann, and...

Much better list! Leavitt has the right attitude, despite until this day I'd always prefer him handing off the ball (or throwing a screen or short wheel route). Pavia had to SUE the NCAA just to get this upcoming extra year since he couldn't get any non-JUCO interest out of high school...

Lol, Baalke fired after multiple candidates turned down the Jags job. I imagine that Shad Khan ticks the box as a priceless "minority owner," but he isn't very good at his job. Two playoff appearances since he bought the team in 2011. This from a "business genius" who used his undergraduate...

Apropos of nothing, Diamond Baseball Holdings was founded in 2021 by Peter Freund as an investment vehicle for Endeavour Group, the private equity firm that owns UFC, WWE, and the IMG Academy. Endeavour Group is run by Ari Emmanuel, brother of versatile statesman Rahm Emmanuel and covid advisory...

Matas Buzelis commits to the Slam Dunk Contest (no official word yet from Mac). There are commonly only four participants, although the NBA is trying to pump interest, and it's not like there's some sacred tradition. Could we see two white dunkers for the second year in a row (if you count Jaime...
