The Wednesday Wizengamot is here this day, the final one of 2025, to declare that we are done covering (most) contemporary, revenue-generated college sports. We’re going to take the high road in 2026 and beyond, covering only the return of the Pac-X, college baseball, and college hockey—if that. We’ve even unsubscribed from KenPom.com due to the ridiculousness of the NCAA and its lack of oversight here.

In 2026, you can look forward to coverage here of the NCAA Frozen Four, however, as well as the College World Series. And when the football season returns, we will go back to our enjoyable, freelance beat (2014-2018) of Pac-12 sports. And that’s going to be it, although we will continue some historical analysis series, like the Heisman Trophy award and the past for the mythical national championships. That’s the plan now.

We will leave you with some quotes from Michigan State Spartans Head Coach Tom Izzo, who is as class-act correct as it comes in college sports today. We knew this was coming years ago, and Izzo’s insight just reaffirms our analytical position as former college athletes and coaches—not to mention current college educators since the late 1990s: corruption and greed have ruined another great thing about the U.S.A.

To wit (source linked above in the lede), because we respect Izzo’s experience and insight here, completely:

“Now we’re taking guys that were drafted in the NBA and everything? I said it to you a month and a half ago – c’mon Magic (Johnson) and Gary (Harris), let’s go baby, let’s do it. Why not? I mean, if that’s what we’re going to, shame on the NCAA. Shame on the coaches, too. But shame on the NCAA, because coaches are gonna do what they gotta do, I guess. But the NCAA is the one.”

“Those people on those committees that are making those decisions to allow something so ridiculous and not think of the kid. So everybody talks about me thinking of my program or I’m selfish. No. Get that straight, for all of you. I’m thinking of, what is best for my son if he was in that position? And I just don’t agree with it. Write this one down: It’s gonna get me. I’m just not gonna let it bother me.”

“But it’s gonna get me sooner or later. Sooner or later, it’s gonna get me. Not that I’m too stubborn not to ever do anything. There is no education. The NCAA ruined that. I’m not gonna fight city hall. I’m just not gonna stick up for it, either. I’m not gonna tell you that as a guy that worked for the NCAA on 20 years on every committee known to man.”

“I’m not gonna tell you that this (NCAA President Charlie Baker), to me, is doing anything but running from leadership and is making decisions that are against them. What we’ve done in the NCAA has been an absolute travesty to me. We’re just worried about getting sued and we’re not gonna fight anybody. And I think leadership means you fight and you make decisions that are sometimes unpopular.”

“If that’s the way it is, and if I have to make those adjustments, then let’s make them. Let’s go pro if that’s the way it is. But let’s not be half you-know-what. Because there’s no such thing as being half that.”

[Are the the NBA and NFL paying attention? They should be. MLB and the NHL already do it right, folks.]
