BU icon among those elected to Hockey Hall of Fame
Parker coached the Boston University men's ice hockey team for four decades and tallied more wins than any hockey coach at one school in the country.

Before he became the coach, Parker was the Terriers assistant coach in 1970 for three seasons. During his time as coach, BU won three NCAA titles and appeared in a record 24 NCAA tournaments.
All 897 of Parker's wins came with BU.
Parker is a three-time Coach of the Year and five-time Hockey East Coach of the Year.
When he retired in 2013, Parker was the third-most winningest coach in NCAA history — something he still holds to this day — behind only Ron Mason and Jerry York.
Before he was a coach, Parker also played at BU from 1965-68 and was a member of three Beanpot championship teams. He was named the Terriers captain for his senior year. He finished with a 897–472–115 record.

'Forty-eight of the last 49 years I've been reporting for duty for BU hockey, and that's enough,' Parker said at his retirement press conference. 'It's been a great run, and I had a great time doing it.'
Parker is already a member of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame after he was inducted in 2017.

Central Michigan served notice by NCAA around Connor Stalions sideline allegations
The long-running saga of Connor Stalions, the man at the center of a sign-stealing controversy at Michigan football, continues. The latest update in the story is centered around Central Michigan University and their game with Michigan State back in 2023 where Stalions appeared to be in disguise on their sideline recording plays and signals. On Tuesday, Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press reported that CMU has been served a notice of allegations from the NCAA related to the scandal. According to Garcia, the NOA (notice of allegations) was filed on June 27, and CMU will have a 90-day window to respond to the NCAA. While Central Michigan has denied knowledge of Stalions on the sideline, they did fire their QB coach at the time, who formerly worked with Stalions on the Michigan football staff.

USC offensive lineman DJ Wingfield files lawsuit against NCAA over eligibility issue
A few weeks ago, it was revealed that USC offensive lineman DJ Wingfield still has not yet been ruled eligible for the 2025 season. Now, it appears Wingfield is taking the NCAA to court. On Monday, it was reported that Wingfield has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA. The amount in the suit is reportedly $210,000, which is what USC had offered him to play the 2025 season. "Wingfield's collegiate career began in 2019 at El Camino College, a junior college in Torrance," Ryan Kartje of The Los Angeles Times wrote. "He left El Camino during the 2020 season due to the pandemic, as Wingfield was tasked with taking care of his mother. "He played at El Camino in 2021 before transferring to New Mexico in the spring of 2022. Before completing a single game with the Lobos, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, ending his season. He returned to play in nine games in 2023 before entering the transfer portal. "Wingfield transferred to Purdue where he earned a starting job in 2024, five years after he first started his college football career." Wingfield's assumption that he would be able to play another year of college football in 2025 was presumably based on Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's successful lawsuit against the NCAA last fall, in which a court ruled that years spent at the junior college level do not count towards a player's NCAA eligibility. USC cornerback DeCarlos Nicholson took advantage of the ruling to return to the Trojans in 2025. To date, however, Wingfield's eligibility waiver has yet to be granted. "Wingfield is seeking to challenge the lawfulness of the NCAA's 'Five-Year Rule', which contends that players are eligible to play four seasons of competition across five years," Kartje wrote. "Both USC and Wingfield believed, according to the complaint, that his waiver would be approved, considering recent rulings in the cases of Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia and Rutgers' Jett Elad, each of whom won the right in court to play an additional season. "But the waiver was denied, robbing Wingfield, he claims, of what could have been a 'once-in-a-lifetime' NIL payday as well as an opportunity to 'enhance his career and reputation' by playing at USC." Losing a potential starter on the offensive line prior to the start of the season would be a brutal blow for the Trojans. USC will certainly be pulling hard for Wingfield in his legal fight with the NCAA.

Let's look at the first 15 games of the second half for Boston: 3 road games at the Cubs (1-2 record)3 road games at the Phillies (1-2 record)3 home games vs the Dodgers (2-1 record)3 road games at the Twins (0-1 record)3 home games vs the Astros That schedule alone could put them behind and make a +105 to -115 bet became -200 to -300 quickly (already -180). During the All-Star break, I played Boston at plus-money to miss the postseason and think it's still a good bet after losing three of four after the break.' Please bet responsibly.
