Coastal AD reprimanded for misconduct at CWS
The NCAA on Friday issued a public reprimand to Coastal Carolina athletic director Chance Miller for misconduct after Game 2 of the College World Series finals in June.
Coastal Carolina AD reprimanded for berating NCAA officials
The NCAA Division I Baseball Committee on Friday issued a public reprimand to Coastal Carolina athletic director Chance Miller for misconduct after Game 2 of the College World Series finals in Omaha, Nebraska, in June.Committee members cited Miller for berating the NCAA national coordinator of umpires in a public setting and later NCAA staff in the hallways of Charles Schwab Field.
It was the committee's understanding Miller was frustrated by an umpire's decision to eject Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall and assistant Matt Schilling in the first inning against LSU on June 22.
Miller was found to have violated a bylaw that states misconduct in an NCAA championship is "any act of dishonesty, unsportsmanlike conduct, unprofessional behavior or breach of law, occurring from the time the championship field is announced through the end of the championship, that discredits the event or intercollegiate athletics."
Miller won't be allowed to attend the first game of the next NCAA baseball regional in which his team plays....
"The NCAA Division I Baseball Committee strongly believes this type of behavior is unacceptable and has no place at any NCAA championship event," said Jay Artigues, committee chair and director of athletics at Southeastern Louisiana. "As an athletics director, Mr. Miller is expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct, and his actions fell well short of that expectation."
Walker Mitchell was at bat with two outs when Schnall went to the top steps of the dugout, gestured at plate umpire Angel Campos with three fingers and began shouting at him. The NCAA said Schnall was arguing balls and strikes, was given a warning and thrown out when he did not leave immediately. Instead, Schnall went onto the field to continue arguing.
LSU won 5-3 for its second national championship in three years.

Just sayin': That is probably better than gesturing at the umpire with one finger unless he actually had three hands and did this:

Re: Colorado athletics director Rick George will step down from his role at the end of the academic year and become a special advisor to the chancellor, the school announced Thursday.
www.on3.com
Outgoing Colorado athletic director Rick George just poured cold water on any speculation that third-year head football coach Deion Sanders is on the hot seat. Speculation about Sanders’ future in Boulder has become a hot topic of late amid a disappointing 3-win season in 2025.
“The seat is not hot,” George quote-tweeted a fan that suggested the contrary. “We believe in what is ahead for this program.”

Ohio State now 1 step closer to flipping another 4-star commit
Ryan Day has been a mastermind on the recruiting trail this season, especially when it comes to flipping recruits.With 13 head coaches being fired so far during the 2025 football season, recruiting has seriously thrived for a lot of schools, like Ohio State, when it comes to flipping recruits. When a head coach is fired, it makes sense that those programs would lose recruits, as those players could have chosen to play for that head coach.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has been flipping recruits left and right this season, and he is on the verge of flipping another one. The Florida Gators have been one team that fired their head coach, Billy Napier, and since then, recruits have certainly decided to venture elsewhere.

For four-star recruit CJ Bronaugh he has been committed to the Gators since midway through June, but this past weekend, he took an official visit to Ohio State, and by the looks of it, things went very well.

John Mobley Jr. Has Become Go-To Playmaker When Ohio State Needs a Basket in Late-Game Situations
Bruce Thornton is the best player on Ohio State, but Jake Diebler has trended toward giving John Mobley Jr. the ball when the Buckeyes need a basket in late-game situations.
John Mobley Jr. Has Become Go-To Playmaker When Ohio State Needs a Basket in Late-Game Situations
Although Mobley had made only two of his 10 shots in the game, including missing all three of his shots in the second half, Diebler leaned on the sophomore when he needed him the most and when Ohio State needed a basket. Not necessarily because he thought Mobley would make the shot, but because Diebler knew he'd make the right play that would turn into a go-ahead bucket for the Buckeyes.
With Thornton dribbling the ball at the top of the circle following the timeout, Christoph Tilly and Amare Bynum set an elevator screen for Mobley. Since the defender did a great job getting around it, Mobley was unable to shoot a 3-pointer and instead put the ball on the floor, rejecting Tilly's immediate ball screen. With both Tilly's defender and his own defender focusing on him, Mobley came to a stop and delivered a pass to Tilly. Since the big man's defender was off balance, Tilly was able to get to the basket and make a tough layup to give Ohio State the lead for good.

"I have high-level belief in him. I think he's a hooper, I guess, is kind of the best way to describe it," the head coach said of Mobley after the game. "He doesn't really get rattled. I probably sometimes wish maybe he'd get a little bit more rattled, but it's kind of his superpower, too. So, when he's got the ball in his hands, I'm confident something good is going to happen. And he's going to react.
"I just felt like he was a little rushed. I talked to him about that. I think he needed to slow down a little bit when the ball hit his hands," Diebler said of Mobley’s struggles early in the game. "And I felt like he did better in the second half with that. People are going to try to limit his looks because he's such a gifted scorer. But what makes him special and what makes the potential of our offense to be special is that he's not just a scorer. He can read the game. And he made a great read."
It certainly wasn't some newfound playmaking ability that Diebler noticed. In fact, it dates back to last season. While Thornton has struggled in those situations, Mobley seemed to flourish. It's the type of playmaking ability in clutch time that has carried into this season as well.

It's kind of a miracle OSU was actually able to win the game. The only area that OSU out-performed ND was converting at the foul line - ND was better in pretty much every other aspect of the game.

Skull Session: Brandon Inniss Says Ryan Day Has Had “A Different Look In His Eye” Since Last Season’s Michigan Loss, the NFLPA Features Cade Stover In Its AthletesAnd Series
Brandon Inniss says Ryan Day has "had a different look in his eye" since last season's Michigan loss, and the NFLPA features Cade Stover in its AthleteAnd series.www.elevenwarriors.com
HELLO, FARMER GRONK. Last week, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) featured former Ohio State and current Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover in the fourth episode of its AthleteAnd YouTube series. The episode showcases Stover’s love for farming, which led him to purchase a cattle ranch in his hometown of Lexington, Ohio.
“(A picture of this farm) has been my screensaver since high school,” Stover said, describing his ranch’s sentimental value. “Every time I open that phone up, I just know this is what I’m working for. I was in tears when I bought this place because it’s something I’ve wanted my whole entire life.”
In the video, Stover tells the NFLPA what it took to make his dream come true. He also shows the cattle and equipment on his property, which sits just three miles from where he grew up on his family’s farm.
“Stover’s story serves as an inspiring example of how athletes can channel their passions into purposeful pursuits beyond the game, balancing the demands of professional football with the fulfillment of personal dreams,” the NFLPA stated in a press release to Eleven Warriors.
Given how much our readers love Farmer Gronk, I know you’ll love this episode!
