I can tell you that the NCAA rules committee voted to shorten the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 seconds starting next season. Duke has the number one recruiting class coming in since they got Thornton to reclassify and start for 2015-2016 as their point guard. He's a high school junior so that was a coup. They also signed Ingram, plucking him from beneath Carolina's nose.
Carolina has received their notice of allegations from the NCAA which is going to get very sticky for everyone involved, including the NCAA who will have to walk a fine line in terms of what exactly falls under their jurisdiction.
Donovan left Florida for the NBA and Bobby Hurley is the new Sun Devils coach at ASU.
Calipari gave a couple of his assistants generous raises. St John's Jordan was ruled ineligible to play next season.
Should I go on?

Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Yes, keep the updates coming. How else will I find out what's what? ESPN?

Sadly they did not take the most corrupt of them all, but it's a start. I'm not sure if this video is available outside the US, but it's a very well done piece profiling Sepp Blatter and his reign at FIFA:

And on a more positive note, a great football story of rejecting big money and getting back to the people: http://www.theguardian.com/football/...ca-united-fans

I watched practically nothing of the last World Cup. Everything Blatter touches carries a stain.

Blatter is either a completely honest man or a criminal mastermind -i suspect this quiet assassin to be the latter -it will be a matter of' following the money' as they say in the movies- its quite ludicrous to think he would not have his finger in this gigantic pie
