Ian Wright is an absolute hero for saying how we all feel about this World Cup… “I've just read that the Somalian referee has been denied entry. Every few hours it's another story, another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs," Wright said. "You know something I'm laughing but it's not funny, it's actually not funny and something has to be said. "The expensive tickets, the most expensive tickets ever, expensive accommodation, transport through the roof. It has to be said. "Is this how the hosts behave really for the greatest game, the greatest tournament in the world, is this how the hosts behave? "Are we not hearing more? Are we seeing how Qatar got dragged, are we not hearing more? Is this the spirit of football, really? "You know who I feel for? I feel for the American fans who are desperate for this, American soccer fans who are desperate for this, how embarrassed they must be. How embarrassing for them this must be. "This is the World Cup, this is a World Cup of chaos. Whoever wins this World Cup is going to have to go through some serious chaos to get this done. "I hope we can do it, but something has to be said now. This is the World Cup."

Four more one-bid conferences won’t make it to the bracket proper.
NCAA men’s selection committee chair and Sun Belt AD Keith Gill is touting a benefit of expansion being that 50% of 15 and 16 seeds will now win NCAA tournament games. (They’re beating each other, but who’s keeping track)

I wonder how many years it’ll take for us to get the first sub-.500 at-large team.
Sources: The NCAA has initiated the final steps to expand the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments to 76 teams. The expansion is on track to be formalized in the upcoming weeks, with mid-May as the target. The 76-team tournaments begin next year. espn.com/mens-college-basket…

Thank you for everything, Dan! After a legendary run, Miami AD Dan Radakovich is retiring June 1. From a CFP National Championship appearance to record-breaking GPAs and a 94% graduation rate, he’s leaving The U having made a tremendous impact. 🙌 bit.ly/4ePsKbL

Source told CBS Sports that Jerome Tang is back on staff w/ Scott Drew @ Baylor. He and Ron Sanchez will both be associate head coaches. Contract still being ironed out but Tang will return to Waco (where he spent 19 years) before going to K-State in '22. @PeteThamel first on it.

Purdue had three players who played 7 of their combined 11 college seasons at Purdue but none finished there. Thieneman and Klare were always going to be early round picks. Deion Burks was less certain but it’s nice to see all three get their name called.
Power 4 teams that did not have a player drafted: Colorado North Carolina Oklahoma State Purdue Syracuse UCLA Virginia Virginia Tech West Virginia Wisconsin

Hearts are getting very close to making history. Only 4 games to go. They haven’t won the Scottish league title since 1960. And no club (other than Rangers and Celtic) has won the title for 41 years.

Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds. Wrexham certainly not favored but what they have done already is remarkable.
Not enough people are talking about how Wrexham actually has a legit shot in getting promoted to the EPL this season! They are coming from 3 consecutive promotions ever since Ryan Reynolds took over. If they get promoted to the EPL 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 they’d become the 1st team in history to get 4 consecutive promotions all the way to the Premier League.

There is no chance that Olympic sports won’t suffer. Elimination or club sport levels for many.
I asked Louisville officials about the threat to Olympic sports amid all-in spending in revenue sports. Trustee Larry Benz surmised that the less successful of them will be downsized to glorified "intramurals." Or just eliminate them, like Arkansas bit.ly/4tslKpQ

THE MOST DRAMATIC END TO A SEASON YOU’LL EVER WITNESS 🤯 York City snatched the title and promotion to League Two from Rochdale with a 102nd-minute goal in the time added on after the home fans invaded the pitch thinking they’d won in the 95th minute🫠
