Pair of top-10 players among notables to miss cut in U.S. Women's Amateur at Bandon Dunes
The week started with 156 players competing at Bandon Dunes, and now the top 64 will battle it out for the Robert Cox Trophy come Wednesday in match play.

Here's a look at the notables who are heading home after stroke play at the U.S. Women's Amateur:

2025 NCAA men's swimming and diving D-II title will remain vacant after Drury team member violated NCAA anti-doping rules
Drury University is no longer in a tie for the most-ever NCAA Division II men's swimming and diving national titles. Cal State Bakersfield, which transitioned to Division I in the mid-2000s, has reclaimed sole possession of the spot atop the sport's all-time D-II podium, following the removal of Drury's 2025 championship, which was vacated after a member of the team tested positive for an elevated level of caffeine, violating NCAA anti-doping rules. Once the points that swimmer earned in both individual and relay events at the national meet in Indianapolis this past March were subtracted, Drury's adjusted point total no longer put them in first place, per a program release this past Friday. That said, the 2025 national title will remain vacant, according SwimSwam's Monday report. And, so, Tampa, this year's runner-up after finishing 74 points behind Drury, will remain second. Urinary caffeine concentration that's greater than 15 micrograms per milliliter triggers a positive drug test, per NCAA rules. It's important to note, however, that the World Anti-Doping Code no longer limits caffeine consumption. A Speed Endurance report from 2009 stated that consuming 10 cups of standard drip coffee — each equating to approximately 1.5 micrograms per milliliter in the urine — in one hour would produce a urinary caffeine concentration at the NCAA limit, 15 micrograms per milliliter. The Drury swimmer who tested positive was not disclosed by name in the program release. They will be suspended from competition during the 2025-26 academic year and will lose a year of athletic eligibility. "Our swimming and diving program has always been committed to competing at a national championship level and, at the same time, upholding the highest standards of integrity and academic excellence," Drury Vice President and Director of Athletics Nyla Milleson said in last week's program release. "This incident does not change that, and Drury swimming and diving will continue to strive toward those ideals, while educating and preparing our student-athletes for competition at the highest level, as it has for nearly five decades." Drury still has 12 NCAA Division II men's swimming and diving championships in school history, the most among active D-II programs.

With One Colossal Mistake, the NCAA Lost Control of College Football
Ever since it was founded over a century ago to organize college football, the NCAA has grown into the central authority for running—and policing—all of college sports. And for most of that time, despite bumps in the road, it has kept that authority. But a radical shift is under way. A handful of athletic conferences, built around football giants, is in the process of seizing power.
