* USF baseball. The Bulls came up short of qualifying for the College World Series but still had their best-ever finish. They won their (AAC) conference for the first time and then won the Gainesville regional that included the University of Florida and Miami. Then they lost to Texas in the Super Regional in Austin.
* The College Athletes Right to Organize Act has been introduced (by Democrats) in the Senate and the House. It would give college athletes the right to organize and collectively bargain with schools and conferences.
* According to the NCAA, such a bill would “directly undercut the purpose of college: earning a degree.” Presumably, the NCAA was straight-faced about universities and monetized sports—as in TV network billions and high-profile football and basketball mercenaries, many of whom will be deferring degrees forever. And all of this in the context of obscenely paid coaches presiding over such a hybrid business model. And this just in, UF head football coach Dan Mullen just received a $1.5 million raise, bumping his overall annual compensation to $7.6 million.
