And these are not moves that are created equally. While the potential for the Big 12 to apparently become the “Allstate 12” conference, or something similar, kicked off plenty of jokes and online furor, it would be a deal with private equity that could ultimately come back to haunt the league and its member schoo...

In the end, it came down to his relationship with Mike Krzyzewski and what his future looked like, based on Coach K’s vision. But man, the college basketball timeline could vastly different if Scheyer went to a different school. The current Duke head coach told fellow Duke alum and ESPN analyst Jay Bilas the story. “It was down to Duke, Illinois and Arizona,” Scheyer said on The Brotherhood Podcast. “Arizona when they were recruiting me they actually did a practice at my high school … But,...

Will Riley, one of the top prospects in the 2025 class, has made a change to his top five options. In late April, the 6-foot-8 small forward out of The Phelps School (PA) announced Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, and the NBL as his finalists. However, the five-star rising senior has altered his final group. Riley has now replaced Arkansas with Illinois, eliminating the Razorbacks from contention. Instead of the overases professional route known as the NBL, Riley will specifically consider the New Zealand Breakers, a team a part of the NBL. For clarity, Riley is now considering a top grou...
