Notre Dame star is named to the 2025 Walter Camp Player of the Year watch list
Add another preseason accolade to the list for Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love. The Walter Camp preseason first-team All-American has been named to the 2025 Walter Camp player of the year Watch List. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The 6-foot, 206-pound Fighting Irish junior ran for 1,125 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2024, and he caught 28 passes for 237 yards and two receiving scores. Included in those numbers is his school record-tying 98-yard touchdown run on the third play of the first-round College Football Playoff game against Indiana. Big things are expected this fall, in what could be his final season in South Bend. Love and the Irish begin their quest to return to the CFP when they open at Miami on August 31.

Men's and Women's NCAA Tournament expansion on hold for now but discussions will continue
Sanity has prevailed in men's and women's college least for now. Expansion of the NCAA Tournament has been a hot topic of discussion this offseason for both the men's and women's format. However, NCAA senior vice president Dan Gavitt gave an update on the future of expansion on Monday, as he announced that it is off the table for 2025-26. However, discussions will continue for 2026-27 and beyond, so changes could still be coming, just not for this upcoming season. The tournament was great at 64 teams, and 68 has been fun too. But will it be worth it to include even more bubble teams? Of course, money is a mover and shaker, so it seems we will get a bigger tournament sooner than later.
