Caitlin Clark has reshaped women's college basketball and the perception of it. The Iowa star has made a name for herself by breaking records and stretching the range of shooting possibilities to the midcourt logo. Up-and-coming players have taken notice, working to extend their range to be like Caitlin. Clark also has a superb all-around game and deep work ethic, something coaches can harp on with young players. Clark also has opened the door to what's possible financially through NIL deals through hard work and projecting the right image.
Deion Sanders shook up college football in Boulder and beyond last year when he and his Colorado program announced, “We comin’.” His message this week to the NFL: “We ain’t.” Not Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, anyway. Not unless the city or franchise makes the cut. Dallas does, in case you were wondering. Prime Time Jr. would be right up Jerry Jones’ alley. On a recent “Million Dollaz ...

The UConn Huskies pretty much wrecked every team they faced in the NCAA Tournament on the way to last year's championship and the first two games this March Madness look awfully familiar. Up next is a wrinkle. They have a rematch with a San Diego State team that was outclassed in the title game a year ago and remembers it. The Aztecs think this year's outcome can be different, but know how tough that will be, especially with Thursday night's East Region semifinal game being played in Boston. The site is about an 85-mile drive from UConn's campus.
Women's college athletes across the United States no longer have to count on a professional contract to earn real money. Basketball players like Caitlin Clark of Iowa and Angel Reese of LSU having some of the top endorsement valuations in college. Both expect their sponsors to stay with them when they turn pro. The perennially popular U.S. women's soccer team, the growth of women's professional soccer and hockey, the wild popularity of volleyball and college softball — and simply more exposure on TV — have all laid a foundation for fans to find what they want to see.

Spencer Strider is one of baseball's most dominant pitchers.
Baseball technology has come a long way since the days of the Iron Mike. Trajekt Arc uses data to mimic the way balls spin and break from every big league pitcher and has for the first time been approved by Major League Baseball for in-game use this year in batting cages. Using video and mechanics to turn the data into reality, the robot allows a hitter to see recreated offerings from the pitcher he is about to face. Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani said he used Trajekt to view his pitches from a different vantage point.

No team in NBA history has more wins than the Boston Celtics. No franchise has more championships than the Celtics, who are tied with the Los Angeles Lakers with 17 apiece. They built the dynasty of NBA dynasties with eight consecutive championship seasons spanning parts of the 1950s and 1960s; no other team has a streak even half that long. They are synonymous with greatness. Now consider this: This season's Celtics are on pace to do something the franchise hasn't done before. The Celtics are outscoring opponents by 11.5 points per game, on pace to be the fifth-largest margin by any team in NBA history
