News: The NCAA’s Division I Council can adopt emergency legislation for a new transfer eligibility rule at its April 17-18 meeting. Proposed legislation would allow all undergraduate athletes to transfer and play immediately as long as they meet specific academic requirements.
@DrakeKeeler @OWHsports Great news. Congrats to you, @swmckewonOWH and World-Herald readers.
Good morning! I interned at the Omaha World-Herald three years ago, and I’m thrilled to be back. First day as assistant digital editor @OWHsports. Let’s get it 🫡
Breaking: Two updates in one day! Eli Rice has entered the portal. Now with three open scholarships, #Nebrasketball has more room to work in the Hoiberg Portal™️
When @RobinWashut drops news, we react. First #Nebrasketball Scholarship Matrix of the Offseason by year.
Tomorrow is my last day at Hurrdat Sports. Blessed to have had the opportunity I did with Hail Varsity out of college. Last two years covering Nebraska WBB and more have been fantastic. Not going too far, won’t take too long to let you know what’s next. Stay tuned.
To the fans who are mad at me that I asked the question tonight... I have to. It's news. Glad I had the opportunity to ask it after a win rather than a loss.
@swmckewonOWH This generation's lakers-Celtics, or as close as we'll get
So proud of my sister @Coach_Thiesse, her amazing staff, and the hard-working Mavs on their conference tournament title! Let keep this thing rolling!
The Mavericks have won their first conference tournament championship with the win over UMary 🏆 #HornsUp 🏀💜
Thank you to @UNLincoln for allowing me to tell my story and experience at UNL. I am so grateful for all the opportunities that I have had and can’t wait to see what the future holds! Shoutout to the @Unl_CoJMC for helping me get to where I am today. #WomensHistoryMonth2024

Welcome to the Kansas family, @javierderritt 🔴🔵 #KAN24S
his streak as the most honest and self aware great athlete ever continues. I imagine the rewards for such behavior and candor are that when you retire, you are beloved everywhere you go.
Klay Thompson said it’s hard to not close: “Yeah, you kidding me? To go from one of the best players…It’s hard for anybody.” Klay credited the young guys. Draymond from off camera (to reporters): “I didn’t close Game 5 of the Finals. Who the f*** cares?”
@kevinsjuts @swmckewonOWH Same. That was miserable. Drove all the way back to DC that night.
