Check out my first piece for SSM. While you're there, subscribe to the newsletter and check out the work the team is doing!
Is the pursuit of the almighty dollar sacrificing the soul of college basketball?
From the rise of made-for-TV showcases to the looming 76-team tournament, the chasm between the haves and have-nots is widening—and I’m not sure anyone in charge cares.
@Collegehoopsguy has the latest on the sport’s forgotten conundrum: #CollegeBasketball #MarchMadness #NCAA

Had a couple of people reach out about my 'sudden' expansion of the Sansom Sports Media brand and writers. I wanted to put a post out to clarify: this wasn't sudden.
The Cincinnati area is one of—if not the single best—places to live for college sports. I’ve been trying to keep up, but I can’t do it alone. I want to offer the same opportunities I didn't have when I started: a platform to build a portfolio and get a foot in the door.
I'm excited to welcome @SSM_CL, @DrewByousBBN, @eli_kadakia10, and @ParkEgeland to the team. They are all talented students looking to grow, and I’m happy to help them start making connections now.
I'm also lucky enough to have guys like @Collegehoopsguy and @michaelkboston who bring a level of journalistic experience that will help provide in-depth coverage.

In honor of #TeachersAppreciationWeek I'll be sharing our school wishlist this week...because it takes a village & our whole staff should be celebrated.
We just updated our list for the next school year.
We would love a sprinkle or RT to #clearthelist.

Hey @DeonnaPurrazzo do you have a Poli Sci focus area? I had a Poli Sci minor at UNH (mostly state and local gov't) and worked in the SNHU athletic dept after I graduated.

I think it's funny refs can see guys standing at the bench from 70 ft away but 3 of them within a 30 ft radius missed Herb Sendek calling a timeout.

Preach Flynn Clayman
"This is an important message to be sent."
@MattNorlander after High Point coach Flynn Clayman revealed no one would play them in the regular season.

I thought Dickie V and Barkley were calling a game? Silly me.

Am I the only one surprised at how much today's results mattered? Zona jumps Michigan, Purdue to the 2 line which had a ripple effect all the way to the 5 line (based on my seed list)

To all my fellow bracketologists: Congrats on all the hard work, and good luck tonight.

How many bracketologists will try and get a late Matrix entry in with Purdue as a 2 if they win this? 🤣
