Nico Iamaleava’s next NCAA team confirmed: Where he’ll play and how much NIL money he’s set to make

Generally, breakups in the sports world tend to drag, putting both the player and team in an awkward period as the situation gets resolved. That hasn't been the case for Nico Iamaleava and the Tennessee Volunteers. In a surreal turnaround, Iamaleava went from being the team's future at the quarterback position to one of the most hated players in the program's history.Angling to negotiate a better NIL deal, Iamaleava was rejected by Tennessee and then etered the transfer portal with eyes on more money. It appeared that the 20-year-old had made a grave mistake, as reports surfaced recently that programs were waiting for his price to drop to even lower than his Volunteers deal. But on Wednesday, word came out that Iamaleava is fully expected to join the UCLA Bruins for the upcoming season. Although it may come at a […]

Move over, guys: Paige Bueckers and UConn smash the NCAA men’s record to pieces

UConn are the Queens of NCAA BasketballThis is an absurd, nearly impossible record to achieve. UCLA's program secured its championships under one of the greatest coaches ever, John Wooden. But today, that mark of 11 titles was eclipsed by the Huskies and Paige Bueckers, led by the equally legendary Geno Auriemma.Between 1964 and 1975, the Bruins won 10 national titles, later adding an 11th in 1995.Meanwhile, UConn's women's team has claimed its titles from 1995 […]

UCLA revives its glory: The forgotten legacy of the 1978 Women’s Final Four

UCLA coach Cori Close found herself clarifying a misunderstanding during her first press conference before the Final Four. Despite her team making history by reaching the NCAA Final Four for the first time, Close emphasized that this was not the first time UCLA had reached such a significant stage in women's basketball. "Actually, that's not correct," Close remarked about the misconception that UCLA had never made it to a women's Final Four. "In 1978, AIAW, they won the national championship." This correction is important because, although the NCAA started overseeing women's basketball tournaments in 1982, before that, competitions were governed by the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).The 1978 title, the first won by UCLA's women's team, does not appear in NCAA's official records but remains essential for understanding the program's legacy. Close, who has worked tirelessly to solidify […]
