The Senate Looks to 'Save' College Sports + Pegram Father-Daughter Driving Duo Attacks Mid-Ohio

The Senate held a hearing on Wednesday to hear comments from various college sports sources about the proposed bipartisan bill aiming to put a lasso around the wild, wild west of the transfer portal and burgeoning outlays for players in the simple pursuit of winning at almost any cost.

RIP to a Local Icon + The Memorial Tournament is Raring to Go On Its 50th Anniversary

Clay does double duty on a couple of interviews while Tim simply listens - hard to believe, we know. But there is Clay's reminiscence of Upper Arlington iconic lacrosse coach Ted Wolford who passed away unexpectedly late last week at 66. He steered the high school to 16 state titles in his 25 seasons at the helm from 1992 to 2016, but had much more impact than just his 460 cumulative wins. Clay's interview with current UA coach Kyle Olson covers that. Clay also speaks with Memorial Tournament executive director Dan Sullivan on the eve of the 51st event, which, as he explains to Clay, makes it the 50th anniversary of the tournament that Jack Nicklaus founded on the world-renowned course he designed and built. It's local icons day!

Great conversation.
