Name a Major School Where......

Name a Major School Where...... the women's basketball coach currently makes more money than the men's basketball football coach:
UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma earns an annual salary of approximately $3.54 million under his five-year contract extension, which runs through April 2029 for a total value of $18.7 million
UConn head football coach Jason Candle makes $2.515 million per year under a six-year, $15 million contract that runs through December 2031. His annual compensation consists of a $400,000 base salary and $2.115 million in supplemental income.

Since taking over in 1985, Auriemma has led UConn to 12 national titles. His methods for getting the most out of his players might be controversial, but the results speak for themselves. This three-part series shares more about his relationship with former stars and what it really takes to become a dynasty.
Clips of Bueckers and teammate Azzi Fudd confirming their romantic relationship in the documentary went viral earlier this week, but there is a lot more worth discussing. Here are some of the major takeaways:
"That was just everything that we had been through up until that point, just the emotions of it and just everything coming together," Bueckers said. "The times where we hated each other, where we loved each other. Everything that me and coach had been through to that point, it was just embodied in that hug."

After Bueckers' historic freshman season, she faced one of her toughest mental challenges ever when she tore her ACL in 2022. She was having panic attacks at night and couldn't help but wonder, "What if I never come back the same?" Things did not get much easier once she got back on the court.
Auriemma wanted Bueckers to be a more assertive leader and pushed her especially hard during the 2024-25 season, her last year at UConn. This created a lot of tension between them and at one point they didn't talk to each other for weeks. Bueckers said she was "just showing up to practice and existing."
"She had said to me, 'I came back for my fifth year because I thought we're gonna have things figured out and it was going to be fun,'" Fudd said. "She basically said it's the exact opposite of that."
Auriemma said the need for stronger leadership showed up even more in a game against Tennessee. The players themselves knew something had to change as even then-sophomore KK Arnold said, "Everybody's head was everywhere, kind of like not knowing where to go." The Lady Vols had not beaten UConn since 2007, but their drought was over when they bested the Huskies on Feb. 6, 2025.
"That was the hardest loss, I think, in quite some time," Auriemma said. "Bottom line is, Paige needed to change.... So I took a risk and I said, 'She is either gonna quit or she's gonna change.' So I tried to hurt her like losing hurts."
The next film session, Auriemma was tougher on Bueckers than ever before and questioned why her teammates should follow her. She said it was tough to understand it at first, but when it finally clicked, she called a players-only meeting to let her teammates know she was going to be more assertive and start holding everyone accountable.
The turning point of the season happened later that month when the Huskies blew out South Carolina 87-58 and snapped the Gamecocks' 71-home game winning streak. UConn didn't lose a single game after that and eventually beat South Carolina again in the NCAA Tournament championship game. Bueckers was able to walk away as a national champion with a whole different outlook on life.
"Coach has a very unique way of getting the best out of his players," she said. "And at times it was difficult being able to handle that burden, but to be in that moment, it all paid off on the biggest stage. I think that just completely changed my life."

Just sayin': Interesting article, apparently he has a very unique; but very effective coaching style.

'I tried to hurt her like losing hurts,' the UConn coach said in a revealing new documentary about the dynasty
From the early days of Geno Auriemma's attempts to put UConn on the map to how much a hug from Auriemma meant to Paige Bueckers after winning a national championship, the new Apple TV documentary "The Dynasty: UConn Huskies" shares insight on the most successful program in college basketball history.Since taking over in 1985, Auriemma has led UConn to 12 national titles.

The emotional hug between Auriemma and Bueckers toward the end of the 2025 national championship game only lasted a few seconds, but it meant more than we could have imagined."That was just everything that we had been through up until that point, just the emotions of it and just everything coming together," Bueckers said.

Ohio State transfer now at another national championship contender is already off to an unfortunate start for 2026 season
Former Ohio State wideout Quincy Porter looks to be starting the 2026 season on the shelf at his new home.Quincy Porter, who transferred to Notre Dame after just one season in Columbus, underwent a minor procedure that will keep him sidelined for at least a couple more weeks as the Fighting Irish prepare for the 2026 season. Notre Dame head coach addressed the news on Friday with an interesting comment.
Marcus Freeman provides update on Porter’s status
“He’s still a couple of weeks out,” Freeman said, via Blue and Gold. “He’s getting better. We had a minor procedure today to get him a little bit quicker, to hopefully being able to help us. He’s still got a little bit of time to be in a position where we feel like he can help this team.“But it will happen. It’s going to happen here soon. I just don’t know when it’s going to be.”
Based on Freeman’s comments, Porter could potentially miss the first game or two for Notre Dame, and the inability to go through a normal training camp only compounds the setback. For a player who transferred in hopes of finding a clearer path to playing time, missing multiple weeks only broadens the chance of him falling further down the depth chart.

Ex-Ole Miss TE Dae'Quan Wright becomes first NFL player to enter transfer portal -- with more likely to follow
The undrafted rookie is looking to return to college football while currently a member of the Browns' roster

Ex-Ole Miss TE Dae'Quan Wright becomes first NFL player to enter transfer portal -- with more likely to follow
The undrafted rookie is looking to return to college football while currently a member of the Browns' roster
Cleveland Browns rookie and former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright entered the transfer portal Thursday, becoming the first active NFL player to do so, sources told CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. A member of the Browns' practice squad in training camp after going undrafted in April, Wright is one of 16 players -- with many more expected -- who plan to head back to college after a Louisiana judge granted a temporary restraining order centering around the NCAA's five-year eligibility clock.
Never before has an active NFL player formally entered the portal until now.
Wright caught 113 passes for 1,603 yards during stops at Virginia Tech and Ole Miss, including 1,029 yards across his final two seasons with the Rebels. He went undrafted after earning second-team All-SEC honors at Ole Miss, signed with Philadelphia and was later claimed by Cleveland. His NFL opportunity remains intact for the moment, but the portal provides leverage and a potentially lucrative alternative if he is released before the season.
The next phase of potential eligibility chaos stems from a Colorado court ruling earlier this summer. Previously, members of the 2022 recruiting class who returned to college football and took advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted by District Judge Charlotte Sweeney were those who didn't sign NFL contracts.
