This one's for you, Dad.

@heady_chris No one is more competitive than Fred: whether it’s basketball or crossword puzzles, Fred wants to find a way to win!

Here’s the thing: Fred changed direction like 4 times. First it was transfers - the old ISU strategy - and that didn’t work. Then it was 1-and-1 done, run and gun. That didn’t work. He switched his style, defense first, found unselfish, team guys. It paid off.

Fred Hoiberg wins the first NCAA tournament game in Nebraska history 71 years after his grandfather Jerry Bush accepted the same head coaching job and moved his wife and children, including Fred's mom, to Lincoln, setting all of this in motion. Sports, man.

@saramtidwell @sydozark I saw them at Aldi

march madness frustration? stress eat basketballs!

@JohnnyStormsSE @ChrisMWilliams Check out this article from Des Moines Register: Iowa State basketball: The story behind the Cyclones' last Final Four team in 1944 desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/c…

@ChrisMWilliams what are your thoughts on ISU recognizing the 1944 final four? Only 8 teams played in it, we only won one game to make it to the final four. Doesn't feel right

@cyclonefanatic @JacquelineCord Where are the Bobby Douglas memorial Fanny packs?

Earlier today, the Cyclones honored the legendary coach Bobby Douglas with custom shirts during their final practice before they head to Cleveland. Iowa State will also wear a memorial patch at the NCAA Championships on their team warmups. Listen as Kevin Dresser reflected on what Coach Douglas meant to this program.

@jefullerton @crawlyscubs Felt the same when I heard Len Kasper on the radio.

@crawlyscubs Turned on the game and smiled as soon as I heard his voice.

For #Cubs fans of a certain age, always tough seeing Steve Stone on the South Side. Steve and Harry were the soundtrack of my youth!

I always smile whenever I see Roy Williams … as I will never forget when Coach Johnny Orr introduced me to Roy, then Kansas State head coach Dana Altman and former Nebraska coach Danny Nee at my first Big 8 men’s basketball media day in Oklahoma City. #IYKYK

Great column by @ISU_GSJC student Nathan Peska!

How cool to tune into the @Cubs-@Mariners spring training game and hear @ISU_GSJC grad @alexmayer34!

Cheering for the @CycloneMBB (and analyzing sponsorships) during @ISU_GSJC @Advrt497K! #whyGreenlee

@Beener1435 I have a piece of that net somewhere ..,

Congrats to @ISU_GSJC grad @RodFowlerKLKN on 30 years at @Channel8ABC. Seems like just yesterday we were in 169 Hamilton Hall listening to Dick Haas tell us about his stolen lawnmower in ethics class!

@W_Drehs Sounds like a great project for the @uiowa sports management students!

Huge bummer. Our class had such a great time two weeks ago. I don't understand the struggles getting college kids in the building. Gorgeous arena. Games are a blast. Concessions and tickets are reasonable. My students were like "this is awesome." Then why don't you go?

@awfulannouncing His first wife’s sister Becky Shrigley played for C. Vivian at Iowa.

"Iowa women's basketball. No superstar Caitlin Smith. No Hall of Fame coaches. C. Vivian Stringer .... No Lisa Blunder." - Bruce Pearl on Caitlin Clark and Lisa Bluder

@StephCopley .@StephCopley I had no idea you were a former Iowa basketball player!

Bruce Pearl just said Caitlin Smith (Clark) and Lisa Blunder (Bluder) when talking about Iowa WBB in the CBS studio and I’m just over here shaking my head. If you don’t know, you don’t have to talk.

Another key point: NIL is not a new right. And it's not from the Alston case or even federal law. NIL is a subset of the right of publiclity, which was first recognized as a standalone concept in a 1953 court decision by the Second Circuit, is governed by states and is based on very old privacy rights. The right of publicity forbids the commercial use of another person’s identity—be it their name, image and likeness and sometimes also their voice, mannerisms, signature and other characteristics that make them unique—without their consent. NIL, as that coin has been termed, came about because Ed O'Bannon challenged the NCAA's restraint on college athletes being able to use their right of publicity—specifically the players' likenesses—in video games. California and other states then enacted NIL statutes making it illegal for colleges, conferences and the NCAA to deprive an athlete of eligiblity on the basis of using their NIL. NIL deals are supposed to be like endorsement deals, but have morphed into pay-for-play arrangements—a separate topic. Some of the comments in the White House meeting misunderstand what NIL is.
