SEATTLE — There has been quite a bit of activity. The question is whether there has been a lot of achievement. That's a play off an old John Wooden line, but in this case it pertains to Washington football coach Jedd Fisch.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Perhaps the most enduring complaint during John Calipari’s tenure as the men’s basketball coach at Kentucky — among a large and vocal segment of UK fans, at least — was that supporters of the program had to learn all those new names and faces every year.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Dusty May developed a reputation as something of an offensive guru in recent years while building Florida Atlantic into a mid-major power in college basketball.
LOS ANGELES — Thirty years ago, Snoop Dogg was sipping on gin and juice, with his mind on his money and his money on his mind.
NEW YORK — A one-time conference foe is set to add some star power to Rick Pitino’s new-look St. John’s roster.
Arkansas has confirmed a report that former major leaguer Monte Harrison, a 28-year-old outfielder who played parts of three seasons with the Angels and Marlins, plans to walk on with the Razorbacks’ football program. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette first reported Tuesday that Harrison had committed to the school. An Arkansas football spokesman told The Associated Press via text that he will walk on with the Southeastern Conference school. Harrison batted .177 with two homers and six RBI between the Marlins and Angels from 2020-22 and hit .240 with 90 homers, 336 RBI and 210 stolen bases in the minors.
Marquette athletic director Bill Scholl says he plans to retire and end his decade-long tenure as soon as the school names his successor. Scholl announced his decision Tuesday. He took over as Marquette's athletic director in 2014. Marquette is beginning a national search for a new athletic director with help from Collegiate Sports Associates. Scholl helped spark the rejuvenation of the Marquette men’s basketball program in 2021 by hiring Shaka Smart away from Texas after firing Steve Wojciechowski. Scholl hired Cara Consuegra from Charlotte to take over the women’s basketball program last month after Megan Duffy left for Virginia Tech.
Star guard Kadary Richmond is transferring to St. John’s from Seton Hall, staying close to home inside the Big East but switching sides in their Hudson River rivalry. Rated the top player available in the transfer portal, the 6-foot-6 Richmond was a first-team All-Big East selection last season. He led the Pirates to their second National Invitation Tournament championship after they were one of the first four teams left out of the NCAA Tournament. The do-it-all guard from Brooklyn averaged 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.2 steals per game. A graduate transfer, Richmond played his freshman season at Syracuse before spending three years with Seton Hall.
The 14 current Big Ten teams each will play two women’s basketball conference games on the West Coast in 2024-25 and incoming members Southern California and UCLA each will play two games at the easternmost schools. The Big Ten announced the breakdown of conference opponents for the 18-team league on Tuesday. Game dates will be announced later. Each team will play an 18-game conference schedule, playing one opponent both home and away and facing 16 teams once. Of the single-play opponents, teams will play eight at home and eight on the road. The conference based the double-play games mostly on natural rivalries.

Colorado adds basketball great Danny Manning to coaching staff as Buffs prepare to rejoin the Big 12
Colorado coach Tad Boyle is adding basketball great Danny Manning to his coaching staff in a reunion of the former Kansas teammates. Boyle and Manning spent a season together with the Jayhawks in 1984-85. Manning would later go on to lead Kansas to the 1988 NCAA championship, an improbable run that earned the team the nickname “Danny and the Miracles.” The addition of Manning comes as the Buffaloes prepare to rejoin the Big 12 Conference. Manning and Boyle will now routinely face their alma mater.
