A lucrative new media-rights deal is expected to grow revenue for Golden Gophers athletics by $17 million next year, but the University of Minnesota’s academic side won’t get a share of that windfall.

There was only one problem with Sunday’s Kentucky- Wichita State thriller: It happened about seven days too early. Thanks to the NCAA tournament selection committee’s criminal decision to award a No. 10 seed to a 31-4 Shockers team that was viewed as one of the best in the country, a game that could have been played in the Final Four and should only have been played in a regional final or, at worst,…

Take your jaw off the floor. We’ll wait. The mighty Duke Blue Devils, one week ago crowned ACC tournament champions and discussed as a probable No. 1 seed, were handed a a stunning loss on Sunday night to the feel-good South Carolina Gamecocks, a team that hadn’t won an NCAA tournament game since 1973 and had never seen the Sweet 16.

For decades Northwestern alumni took pride in things like high SAT entry scores, “Saturday Night Live” cast members, two campus beaches, Otto Graham and their “Purple Mafia” media contingent. Then came the 1995 Rose Bowl season. Gary Barnett took the Purple to Pasadena. Northwestern football would no longer be known for losing Ara Parseghian to Notre Dame or a 34-game losing streak that ended with a “laking” of the goal…

March Madness has nothing on NASCAR when it comes to stunning upsets — at least not on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway. Ryan Newman scored a shocking surprise win in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Camping World 500 Sunday, gambling to stay out on old tires at the end and earning a huge payoff. It was Newman’s 18th Cup win overall and his second at Phoenix, but his first since…

There are two separate bills making their way through the Alabama legislature that explain why there is so much tension in how high school sports are organized, and how legislators are trying to help solve, and continue to create, these problems.
