I’m still getting over the fact that college season has ended.

Business:
Documents reveal that Iowa State’s NCAA violations were major. They involve 33 coaches, and every athletic program at the University. Wow.
Coaching changes:
Krista Gerlich is the new coach at UT-Arlington.
Mary Gleason has resigned at Houston Baptist. Donna Finnie is the interim head coach.
High school news:
The MaxPreps Basketball Coach of the Year is Duncanville’s Cathy Self-Morgan.
Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year Jackie Kemph is building her legacy.
Detroit’s Antania Hayes has fought past tragedy and into a bright future.
My college thoughts:
1. There’s plenty of parity in the game. But stacking the brackets the way they were makes it look like there isn’t. Why put Notre Dame and UConn on the same side? The Championship game was a let down after a great season.
2. It’s ironic to me that on one hand, Skylar Diggins gets backlash because she is attractive, while Brittney Griner gets clowned for being big. Women just can’t win.
