Inside the Gators

Former #illini Kendal Gill did NOT hold back when asked about Bruce Pearl on @thescorechicago 😆

Rumors of the SEC’s demise and downturn appear drastically overstated on day 1 of the NCAA Tournament. 5-0 overall. SEC Tournament Champ Arkansas rolls. Vanderbilt wins comfortably. Two double digit seeds win— Texas and A&M. Played like the top-ranked KenPom league.

Short CBS feature on the Florida #Gators ahead of first-round play in #MarchMadness on Friday:

Capless NIL blows up the old roster building blueprint. Unless Congress or an Executive Order mandates multi year contracts, it makes no sense to sign a five-star who isn't going to be able to contribute immediately. You are paying and developing him for his next team.

@phillygator1986 @CorryAKnowles There's no more spring Portal window. The backup can't go elsewhere this year

@CorryAKnowles Just odd that Simmons was named the starter this early. Most coaches placate the room until at least mid summer camp.

Beat out Zollers. Portal for QB's makes the most sense. Paying a high school 5 star to sit the bench isn't making sense in 2026

I stopped watching about a minute later when UNC was still up by 11.

Offensive pass interference penalties will now be 10 yards. on3.com/news/ncaa-d1-f…

And away we go…

Under another rule approved Thursday, a team can choose to attempt a kick after a completed or awarded fair catch. The kick will be a field goal place kick with a holder (no tee) or a drop kick from the spot where the returner caught the ball. If the ensuing kick goes through the uprights, it will add 3 points to that team's total. The defense is required to be at least 10 yards from the spot of the kick.

One more sleep and the Madness begins in Tampa

When it comes to who will travel to the Final Four, ESPN's BPI thinks that 2-seed Houston has the better chance to advance out of the South region than defending champion and 1-seed Florida 👀

NEWS: There will be no carryover into the next game for a player’s first targeting penalty. The rule tweak was approved today by the DI FBS Rules Oversight Committee.

The NCAA FBS Oversight Committee has approved a rule change re: targeting penalties for the 2026 season

I love that this gives him an opportunity to prolong his whining and crying over Auburn's exclusion. I already had very low regard for him based on his history of NCAA infractions, but this last month or so, he's become absolutely insufferable.
