The top story in today’s issue (#245) is on comments made at the NCAA Convention yesterday, mainly from Baylor president Linda Livingstone, who is the chair of the NCAA Board of Governors. Livingstone outlined the next step forwards for the NCAA, which as I expected, includes a lot of lobbying in Washington.

Also in today’s issue:

• I preview my Games of the Week.

• I have my weekly DraftKings picks. I have picks for Merrimack-Providence, Penn State-Michigan State, Ohio State-Michigan, Western Michigan-North Dakota and Minnesota Duluth-Omaha.
