Ohio State president Ted Carter named to NCAA Board of Governors
On Thursday, the NCAA announced some new appointees to its Board of Governors, and one of those names included was Ohio State president, Ted Carter. The board, though not nearly as powerful as before, is a collection of influential individuals who help shape the landscape of college sports. Carter was appointed as the 17th president of Ohio State by the OSU Board of Governors on August 22, 2023. Before that, he served in the same capacity at Nebraska. He is a former college athlete himself, having played ice hockey at Navy from 1977 to 1981, lettering all four years. Carter will serve a two-year stint on the Board of Governors. The appointment is a significant one, especially considering all the changes that we've seen in college athletics over the last few years. Having a voice from Ohio State involved in the room can't do anything but help.

Jimbo Fisher wants to return to college coaching
At a time when Nick Saban hasn't completely ruled out a return to coaching, his former lieutenant-turned-nemesis and fellow West Virginia native is being more candid and direct about his desire to get back in the game. Via former Florida State and Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher recently said on the Trials to Triumph podcast that he wants to give it another go. Fisher said he's looking for 'the right situation' to return to coaching at the college level. 'I'm 59, in great shape and healthy,' Fisher said. 'I've had success everywhere we've ever been. The end at Texas A&M, it's unfortunate, but we also had the highest-ranked team they ever had there in 2020. Our quarterbacks got hurt. We played with first-team, third-team. . . . It was hard to get playcalling and guys around. . . . Didn't pan out like we needed to, but I still love it.' There's no denying that Fisher has performed well. 'I've won 72 percent of my games, won 80 percent of my playoff games,' Fisher said. 'I've been fortunate to win a national championship as a head coach and assistant. I miss the relationships with players. I would be very interested in still doing it. I still think I've got a lot to give. I'd like to get back out there.' Texas A&M would be thrilled if it happens. The bill for parting ways with Fisher in 2023 exceeded $75 million. His earnings at his next gig would chew into the remainder of that buyout, which is believed to be $7.2 million per year through 2031. Last month, Saban said this when pressed about coaching again: 'There is no opportunity that I know of right now that would enhance me to go back to coaching.' Fisher served as offensive coordinator under Saban at LSU. In 2023, they squabbled publicly over the NIL issue, with Fisher making some loaded comments about Saban's ways in the days before it was permissible to pay players. It will be interesting, to say the least, if there's a college opportunity that Fisher wants — and that Saban sees as something that 'would enhance [him] to go back to coaching.'

Adam Wainwright makes a wild Cardinals postseason prediction
Adam Wainwright makes a wild Cardinals postseason prediction originally appeared on The Sporting News The St. Louis Cardinals were one of many teams to sell at the trade deadline, but for a team that was on the cusp of buying not too long ago, their decision to sell all but confirmed the notion that 2025 wasn't their year. But, for franchise legend Adam Wainwright, the Cardinals still have a chance. Wainwright on Twitter/X made a wild prediction for the Cardinals regarding their postseason chances. It's more than just bold; it's a completely wild prediction. "I'm looking at the schedule," Wainwright writes, "I'm calling it now. The @Cardinals shock everybody and are playing for a wild card spot on the last series of the season against the @Cubs. Cubs-Cards last 3 days of the regular season would be wild." Wainwright is one step below predicting that the Cardinals make the postseason, but he's still predicting they get onto the doorstep of a wild card spot. With the Milwaukee Brewers 14 games up on the Cardinals, the wild card is St. Louis's only chance. Fortunately for the Cardinals, and Wainwright's bold prediction, they are just 4.5 games out of a wild-card spot. Making up that ground is not far-fetched, especially if the team goes on a hot streak down the stretch of the season. Such a scenario might play out, thanks in part to their middle-of-the-pack schedule for the rest of the season. Wainwright's main talking point is that the Cardinals' schedule has led him to believe that the final series of the season could determine if the Cardinals make the postseason in 2025 or not. MORE: Cardinals' trade acquisition shares five-word message with fans Their schedule is the 14th hardest in baseball, according to It's easier than the schedules of the Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, and New York Mets, some of their top competitors in the NL. Chasing the Brewers is unlikely, but with the Mets reeling, and the Reds only two games up on the Cardinals, the Cardinals have a chance to surpass those two NL teams and potentially occupy the final NL wild card spot. However, some of their other NL competition in the Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and Los Angeles Dodgers have the three easiest schedules remaining in baseball. If they are to make the postseason, their best bet will be to surpass the Mets for the final spot. Or, if the Cubs struggle down the stretch, they could open the door to the Cardinals in that regular-season-ending series. It's an unlikely scenario, but a lot of the Cubs have been a little shaky since the All-Star break. St. Louis doesn't have a high chance of making the postseason, but the schedule could play out favorably for the Cardinals. Oli Marmol overperformed in the first half of the year; it wouldn't be a complete surprise if he did so in the second half. Wainwright's prediction is a wild one, but it's not as far-fetched as it initially seems. Just 4.5 games back, the Cardinals could get hot, and if they beat the Cubs on Sunday night, they would have back-to-back series wins over the Dodgers and Cubs, two top teams.
