NCAA Men's Golf Championship tickets
Fans must have tickets to attend this year's NCAA Golf Championships. Here's how to buy them.
Omni La Costa course info
Omni La Costa will play as a par-72 layout measuring 6,330 yards. There was an extensive renovation by the architectural team of Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, and the NCAA Championship was the first event on the layout before it opened for public play last year.
Hanse and Wagner implemented significant changes to the North layout. Among the renovations: A new drivable par-4 11th was built, the green of the par-3 16th was repositioned in a fashion reminiscent of Augusta National Golf Club's No. 12, and the par-5 18th was stretched to more than 600 yards with water on both sides of the fairway.
The revised layout will feature six sets of tees that play from 4,500 to 7,500 yards. Other changes include transitioning irrigation lines that will continue to use reclaimed water, the removal of several man-made ponds and the reintroduction of natural barrancas that feature drought-tolerant and native species of plants.

Team Ontario Should Welcome The Best, But Some Girls Remain Excluded
In men's hockey, Hockey Canada will always come calling for the best and brightest. On the women's side, even if a player is registered under Hockey Canada's umbrella in Ontario, some remain ineligible for Team Ontario's Program of Excellent provincial camps. It's a delay that could cost players an opportunity to make Canada's U-18 national team, and delay exposure to NCAA programs.

In NCAA streamlining, the big conferences get more power, but not everything they wanted
Major decisions by the NCAA's top decision-making body will need approval from all four major conferences — or help from a smaller conference — to pass under a set of rules approved Tuesday that are designed to streamline the way business is done by the nation's largest overseer of college athletics. The Southeastern Conference had been pushing for it and the other three power conferences to receive a 17% voting share on the newly reshaped Division I Board of Directors, so that if one of the four conferences disagreed with a proposal the others could still band together to pass it with 51% of the vote. But the legislation only increased their voting share to 16.1% each, which gives each conference power to waylay a policy it doesn't like. The D-I board deals with finances, litigation and infractions unrelated to conditions set in the $2.8 billion antitrust settlement that allows schools to pay players as of July 1. Though the NCAA plays virtually no role in overseeing Bowl Subdivision football, which is run by the College Football Playoff, this is the latest in an ongoing push to give the biggest, football-playing schools more autonomy in making decisions across the college landscape. The vote also won't directly impact the future of March Madness, where expansion has been on the docket but won't come this year. Separately, the D-I board introduced a proposal to create three additional 'units' to pay out for the men's and women's basketball tournaments. They would go to the finalists in each tournament. 'Units' are worth around $2 million and are commonly distributed to the conferences of the teams that play. The main business of this week's meetings was to reduce the number of members on the board from 24 to 13 people, with the representatives from the Power Four having a little more than four times the voting power than the rest. If one Power Four member disagreed with the other three, then one of the other nine members could still help a measure pass by voting in favor of it. In May, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said the reason he sought more voting power was 'because you can't just have someone walk away at that level among four and everything stops.' The NCAA touted the elimination of about 32% of its Division I committees as a strong signal that a long-running streamlining process was working. It also said athletes will have 40 more seats across 30 committees and will have voting seats on almost all them. Neither Sankey nor the other three Power Four commissioners immediately responded to requests from The Associated Press for comment. In a news release, the NCAA supplied reaction from six college sports leaders, only one of whom — Virginia Tech President Tim Sands, who is chair of the NCAA board — represented a power conference. 'The board's vote to implement this new structure reflects the association's commitment to a modernized approach to governing ourselves moving forward,' Sands said. Sun Belt Commissioner Keith Gil, who is chair of the men's basketball committee for the upcoming season, said he applauded the board's work. 'While I recognize that all constituencies did not get everything they desired, it is a good governance framework that will allow all of us to thrive amidst the evolving collegiate athletics landscape,' Gil said. ___ AP college sports:
