Population the size of ... Reno? Pretty much.
Amazing result. ๐คฏ

Itโs the Alan Parsons Project, but whatever.

Really nice performance last night. It was pretty neat to see Lilly holding down second place for much of the early going.
Fifth in the nation. All-America. That's a pretty nice bow to put on 2025-26 ๐บ athletics.

The latest Behind the Bench podcast went right to the source. Host @CarterEckl and I talked with @AlexWright1028 of the Las Vegas R-J, the reporter who is closest to the madness in Nevada prep football.

This might be great for Florida, which obviously has enough schools and enough fan support to make the idea viable.
But โฆ MaxPreps? Yeah, seen that film before. Utter disaster last year in Nevada; could hardly have gone worse.
Godspeed, Florida. Double-check those scores!

Podcast fans! We had a first-time visitor to the @nevadaappeal Behind the Bench sports show this morning. It'll be worth a listen.
We'll let you know when the tech gurus have the episode ready for the public.

You know who else might want in on this?
The NFL, NHL, MLS, NBA, MLB, and others. They all know this is a door that needs to be closed.
(And, yes, I'm aware of their own hypocrisy ... )

The NCAA plans to file an appeal in the Sorsby case, source tells @YahooSports, as expected. Several administrators believe conferences and/or schools should file an amicus brief in support of the NCAA's appeal as part of the filing.

Big 12 ADs tell @YahooSports theyโve had โseriousโ talks on not playing Texas Tech. One SEC AD says there should be conversations about not playing Tech โin any sports.โ
The Brendan Sorsby ruling has left an industry jarred.
โItโs total f***** bullshit.โ

If Brendan Sorsby played for a Mountain West school he wouldโve been executed for his crimes by now.

Of course. Make the perpetrator the victim. A legal ploy as old as the cavemen.
And "devote himself to his team" is rich. He somehow didn't "devote himself" to either Cincinnati or Indiana. He's as big of a mercenary as anyone else out there.
Utterly broken system.

Sorsby Attorney Jeffrey Kessler: "It is a just result. Brendan gets to devote himself to his team and the education of athletes on the dangers of gambling addiction. He will continue his treatment, miss two games, and there is no injury to the competitive integrity of the NCAA. It is what we proposed and what the NCAA should have accepted had it been true to its promises to prioritize the welfare of athletes."

Disastrous.
Why even have an NCAA if it's not allowed to enforce rules?
And this is the big one. For more than 100 years of American sports, across all leagues, there was one line that could never be crossed โ don't bet on your team's games. No gray area involved.
Dark day.

QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted his injunction against the NCAA.

Probably best to just stick to columns, my man.

The Indiana Fever are planning to ship Caitlin Clark to the Los Angeles Sparks. I expect UCLA coach Cori Close to be the head coach of the Sparks.

Yeah, we went there: The Behind the Bench podcast crew breaks down the World Cup in Ep. 236. Also featuring a unique boxing card, some NIAA speculation, and a CHS coaching change. With @CarterEckl and @r1ckhoover. Available at all the usual spots.

I attended this game.
Ugly result, too.
What is the ugliest jersey your favorite team has ever worn?
Oregonโs is pretty agreed upon.

A lot of us got our starts covering prep sports; it's probably THE way to get a foot in the door in the business.
But FIFTY years?!? That's just flat-out amazing. Congratulations, @latsondheimer.

This is the final week of the 2025-26 high school sports season. Thank you to all those following high school sports. It's been my mission for 49 years to tell stories of teenagers making a difference in their community. I will be back for year 50. Please keep reading and fighting the good fight.
