Without going through my phone log or text messages I can’t tell you how many coaches I have spoken with today... And one thing is common in the conversations: driving the van after a round on the day of is always their biggest concern/fear on the job.

I still say the NCAA champion should get an invite/exemption into U.S. Open or Masters. It's arguably the best amateur event in the world.

So, this NIL thing is certainly going in directions not many predicted. Two female college basketball players (twins) transfer from Fresno St to Miami. They sign NIL deals that equal $500k for each over 2 year period. Meanwhile the average WNBA salary last year was $121,000!

College basketball is playing teams from other conferences and well outside their regions and they are indoors! College golf, knowing it can easily social distance, would not have any problem seeing teams resume somewhat a "normal" schedule this spring - if we are playing golf!
