Chris Hill and his players left no stone unturned in trying to bring back the St. Edward’s men’s and women’s golf programs. “We attacked this at every angle we could to save the programs, and we did everything we could.” the former St. Edward’s men’s golf coach told CBS Austin. For the golf program specifically, more than $2 million needed to be raised by the end of May. Despite strong alumni and community support, it was too steep a hill to climb in today’s environment. read more: https://cbsaustin.com/sports/college/st-edwards-players-coaches-moving-on-after-school-cuts-6-programs

11. North Texas: The talk of the town in Denton, Texas, will be focused on the departure of quarterback Mason Fine, who graduates takes with him All-Conference honors and essentially every North Texas passing record in existence. The direction of the offense and where it goes at this point is anyone’s guess, but there are bright spots up front if you look hard enough. A former 2-star recruit, Manase Mose in my opinion could be one of the best guards in the league, but finding help is the key. Right tackle Jacob Brammer was reliable before injuries took him out, and the Mean Green could be relying on new faces to bolster the attack. Anterrious Gray is a JUCO transfer to watch, along with 3-star Lubbock native Erik Williams, whose 247Sports 824th overall ranking nationally was their top incoming recruit.

I don't think TCU wants you in the Big 12 for the same reason that Tech and Baylor, Okie State and Kansas didn't want to have UH back. I think they like having a leg up on you in recruiting via the conference affiliation. And let's honest the difference between the SEC and Big 12 is tiny when compared to P5 and G5. G5 is sort of like the short bus in term of perception. And I don't like it and don't think it is fair. There is no meritocracy in it.

There were 113 college basketball head-coaching changes over the last two years—58 after 2017-18, 55 after 2018-19. As of April 13, one month after the season ended, there have been 20 changes, none at high-major programs. Winthrop kept Pat Kelsey, Colgate didn't lose Matt Langel to Boston College or another northeastern job, and Wright State isn't searching for Scott Nagy's replacement. Stephen F. Austin didn't lose Kyle Keller to Oklahoma State or another high-major program, and Grant McCasland is heading back to North Texas for his fourth season after leading the Mean Green to a third straight 20-win season.
