College basketball is the best because a team accused of point shaving and a coach that’s already been fired are both playing for a chance to go the NCAA tournament.
ESPN Sources: Florida Atlantic’s Dusty May has agreed on a deal to become the next coach at the University of Michigan. Andy Miller — May’s representative with Klutch Sports — is completing details with school officials on a long-term contract tonight.

A couple weeks ago, we launched a campaign to hang a billboard outside of the NCAA Eligibility Center so that their employees could see it every day on the way to work.
Kentucky fans raised the money in less that 4 hours. BBN is like that!

Things we don’t talk about enough:
Tum Tum Nairn, former Michigan State Spartan and current Bowling Green assistant coach, starts for his country’s national team alongside multiple NBA players.
He has to be the first D1 assistant to do that right?

Might as well have kept Holtmann.
