Clint Castleberry had one glorious season at Georgia Tech. He was a whirlwind on both sides of the line, seeming to turn up everywhere. And then, he was gone. All that potential, snuffed out by the horrors of war. On this Memorial Day weekend, the largely forgotten exploits of Castleberry are a somber, painful reminder of what might've been if not for war. He finished third in the Heisman balloting as a freshman in 1942. Then he headed off to World War II, where he died while piloting a B-26 off the coast of Africa. He was just 21.

Report: Mike Bohn left Cincy for USC amid misconduct probe
PHILADELPHIA — God, imagine it: 3 a.m. inside the living room of a Southwest Philadelphia home in the early 1960s, three men seated there, each of them a famous athlete, each of them a running back in the National Football League. The house belonged to Clarence Peaks, the Eagles’ starting fullback then, and from time to time, he would invite over two of his friends — his teammate Timmy Brown ...

The Atlantic Coast Conference is moving forward allowing schools to earn more money generated from their own postseason performances. That move comes as the league tries to find ways to close a growing financial gap with two power-conference peers. The ACC announced Wednesday that its board of directors have endorsed a "success incentive initiative" for the 2024-25 season. Details are being finalized. The league has long distributed revenue evenly among its membership. TV money will remain equally distributed. The change would affect money coming from revenue-generating postseason events like the College Football Playoff and the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Jacob Wilson disagrees with the modern baseball notion that striking out does not necessarily represent failure. The Grand Canyon shortstop is a projected top-10 overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft partly because of his uncanny ability to put the ball in play.

Can we please stop with the ridiculous chatter about Billy Napier being on some sort of fictional hot seat heading into just his second season at the University of Florida?

I’ll even go as far as to say Billy Napier is on a relatively cool seat — as he should be. “We’re incredibly pleased with the way Billy is ...
Bill Plaschke: How did this happen again? USC and Carol Folt are responsible for the Mike Bohn mess.
When Mike Bohn barreled into USC as its latest athletic director in the winter of 2019, he was sold as a man of character by university President Carol Folt. "He has real integrity," Folt said at the time. "He has run class acts and done it really well in some difficult situations." As Bohn was backpedaling out of USC nearly 3½ years later, it once again appears the Trojans have only a casual ...
