NCAA Softball Tournament reportedly to seed 32 teams beginning with 2026 tournament
Following another exciting college softball season, the NCAA is doubling the number of teams it will seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. According to Softball America, softball will follow the format of college volleyball and women's soccer with the seeding of 32 teams. Only the top 16 seeds, which hosted the regional, were previously seeded. In theory, the committee is seeking to reward the top seeds with "easier" matchups. REQUIRED READING: Texas Longhorns power couple pushes each other in football, softball However, to protect teams from having to travel too much for regionals, the 1-32 seedings will not be straight up to protect 400-mile geographic proximity parameters and avoid same-conference matchups in the regionals. The No. 1-4 national seeds will play seeds Nos. 29-32; however, an adjustment will be made if it pairs two conference opponents who are scheduled to meet one another. There will not be a seeding for the rest of the 64-team field. National seed buckets Here's a look at how the national seed matchups will be determined, based on the No. 1-32 seed rankings: How the 2025 NCAA Softball Tournament would be impacted If the 2025 NCAA Tournament followed the seeding based on the 1-32 ranking, this is how the field would have looked: Future NCAA Softball Tournament changes According to Softball America, the NCAA Committee will continue to examine other issues when it meets in November.

Texas Tech transfer running back Quinten Joyner sustains season-ending knee injury
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech running back Quinten Joyner, part of the heralded class of 22 transfers for the Red Raiders, sustained a season-ending knee injury in a scrimmage, coach Joey McGuire said on the school's podcast. McGuire said Joyner's injury was a 'noncontact deal,' after the sophomore went down during the scrimmage at Jones AT&T Stadium. 'I hate it so much for him,' McGuire said on the school-produced 'What's Next!' podcast. 'Just because of how well he has done in the spring, summer and camp. He has really come in here and been a pro.' Joyner, a Southern California transfer who went to high school in Texas, was expected to be part of a potential rotation as No. 23 Texas Tech tries to replace Tahj Brooks. The school's all-time leading rusher was taken in the sixth round of the NFL draft by Cincinnati. Joyner entered preseason camp atop a depth chart that included two more sophomores in J'Koby Williams and Cameron Dickey. Williams had 123 yards rushing, including a 54-yard touchdown, in last season's 39-26 Liberty Bowl loss to Arkansas after Brooks opted out of the game. Williams and Dickey were part of the same recruiting class at Texas Tech. As a redshirt freshman at USC in 2024, Joyner rushed for 478 yards and three touchdowns. He was part of what was considered one of the most expensive hauls from the transfer portal in the offseason. The Red Raiders open the season Aug. 30 at home against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
