ORLANDO, Fla. — To all of those “exploited” college athletes and to the many critics of the NCAA who are lauding the recent landmark decision by the Dartmouth basketball team to unionize so they can be considered employees of the university, just remember this: Be careful what you wish for.

SEATTLE — And ... we have a winner. Well, the Washington men's basketball program has a winner. And I don't mean simply that the university picked a new coach to replace Mike Hopkins a few weeks after his firing. I just mean that Danny Sprinkle — the new head Husky — wins everywhere he goes.

The UConn Huskies pretty much wrecked every team they faced in the NCAA Tournament on the way to last year's championship and the first two games this March Madness look awfully familiar. Up next is a wrinkle. They have a rematch with a San Diego State team that was outclassed in the title game a year ago and remembers it. The Aztecs think this year's outcome can be different, but know how tough that will be, especially with Thursday night's East Region semifinal game being played in Boston. The site is about an 85-mile drive from UConn's campus.
Women's college athletes across the United States no longer have to count on a professional contract to earn real money. Basketball players like Caitlin Clark of Iowa and Angel Reese of LSU having some of the top endorsement valuations in college. Both expect their sponsors to stay with them when they turn pro. The perennially popular U.S. women's soccer team, the growth of women's professional soccer and hockey, the wild popularity of volleyball and college softball — and simply more exposure on TV — have all laid a foundation for fans to find what they want to see.
Caitlin Clark has reshaped women's college basketball and the perception of it. The Iowa star has made a name for herself by breaking records and stretching the range of shooting possibilities to the midcourt logo. Up-and-coming players have taken notice, working to extend their range to be like Caitlin. Clark also has a superb all-around game and deep work ethic, something coaches can harp on with young players. Clark also has opened the door to what's possible financially through NIL deals through hard work and projecting the right image.
