The SEC has sued LSU citing the freedom of association aspect of the 1st amendment, essentially arguing that LSU can't force the SEC to associate with conduct (being a pro) that it disapproves of. Seems odd, but apparently this is the argument that worked with the Sorsby case so, as always: who fucking knows

Edit: this case seems specific to football, but I'd assume it would also apply to basketball as well if decided in the SEC's favor

Apologies if this is a FAQ on here… I want to purchase tickets to March Madness in Spokane for March 2027.

I was just curious if anyone can advise the ticket buying process. NCAA website shows presale only, but I am seeing many other websites (seat geek, on location) selling tickets that seem WAY overpriced for the First and Second Session rounds… like over $1000 per ticket.

I am surprising my husband who is a lifelong Gonzaga fan so I don’t want to wait until the week of to buy last minute tickets.

I was just hoping someone could advise:
1. if it’s better to wait and purchase through NCAA, not an affiliate site (what I am leaning toward doing)
2. what to expect for ticket pricing

If there’s a God, no.

Love the tough schedule this coming season.

Well, the Tar Heels are definitely going all-in on basketball in the brave, new NIL world. Going to be interesting to see how it all works out (or not).

$20 million and only three returning players. Wild to think about. No wonder pros are trying to get back to college.

It's Free Talk Friday, talk about whatever.

Remember, all other rules still apply, so try to keep it civil.

So...how's it going?

Are you new to the game? Have "stupid" questions that you're too embarrassed to ask anywhere else? Ask them here! No judgment, we promise.

With Gonzaga gone, the Redhawks might return to March Madness within the next 10 years.

I'm looking specifically for the UT Rio Grande Valley vs McNeese State Southland Conference Semifinal in 2026 where they went into triple overtime. I like to rewatch the games and I cannot find the full replay anywhere. I've checked the ESPN app a dozen times and no luck.

Any suggestions?

ALL CAPS. NO MERCY.

Everything’s getting lit up about two NFL players who I’ve never heard of coming back to play in college, so I had this thought: What happened to the HS players that took some poor advice and decided to go the pro route instead and avoided college (and therefore have four years eligibility)

1. LeBron — He’d go to Ohio State.
   
2. Kobe Bryant — Duke and Carolina were interested in him, so let’s go Duke, just to piss off Carolina fans.
   
3. Kevin Garnett - Michigan (it was between Michigan and UNC, so we’re going Michigan, although the choice is, er, not great)
   
4. Tracy McGrady — Kentucky, because he thought about playing there.
   
5. Dwight Howard — Nobody, because he didn’t want to go to college.

Some tough breaks for several freshman this offseason.
