NCAA president Charlie Baker said that a decision on the television future of the women’s basketball tournament would come by the end of this year. As I previously expressed, I have concerns about this. If the NCAA bids the women’s basketball tournament as a separate deal, which seems likely, it could significantly impact the future of the Frozen Four on television.

Also in this issue …

  • Tensions were high last week in Naples over the transfer portal.

  • Transfer portal updates include Alex Young transferring to Arizona State and an under-the-radar goalie hitting the portal.
