Duke Prepares for Major Change After ACC Announcement
After being stunned in the 2025 Final Four by the Houston Cougars, coach Jon Scheyer and the Duke Blue Devils have already undergone some major changes. Duke lost numerous stars to the NBA draft, including likely No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg, ACC Tournament MVP Kon Knueppel and center Khaman Maluach, among others. Advertisement But the Blue Devils have compensated nicely for their losses, adding Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the twins of former Duke star Carlos Boozer, and five-star forward Nikolas Khamenia. The ACC will also undergo some major changes starting in the 2025-26 season that could have a big impact on Duke and other programs in the conference. According to CBS Sports' Matt Norlander, the ACC has approved a scheduling change that will reduce the conference slate from 20 games to 18 per season. It will go into effect next season. "Sources: ACC ADs have officially approved moving to an 18-game schedule in basketball, sources tell @CBSSports," Norlander wrote on X. "League had been on a 20-gamer since 2019-20 (save the COVID year). Decision was made in part because the ACC only sent four of its 18 teams to the men's NCAAT this yr." As Norlander mentioned, the scheduling shift is a direct result of the ACC sending only four teams to the NCAA Tournament in 2025, despite having a program in the Final Four in each of the past three years. Advertisement The change could allow Duke to add up to two more high-profile opponents to its November and December schedule. However, with 18 teams in the ACC, the door also is open for major rivalries, like Duke vs. North Carolina, to be played only once per season instead of twice. "This frees up the likes of Duke, Carolina, Louisville, Virginia, etc. to add at least one more notable/high-profile game to their dockets this Nov/Dec," Norlander added.

How Ulrika Jonsson's anti-nepo baby daughter Bo, 24, shunned a showbiz career for proper job as a prestigious Norland Nanny
When you have a celebrity parent, getting a helping hand up the greasy pole of fame comes a little easier, as dozens of nepo babies have proved over the years. However, every so often, the offspring of a star does the unthinkable, and gets a proper job. Step forward Bo Jonsson, the 25-year-old daughter of TV presenter Ulrika, who is described by her mother as 'a grafter and a doer'. Easter weekend saw former daytime weather presenter Ulrika celebrating the fact her four children had all spent Easter Sunday with her. The star, 57, has four children; Cameron, 30, Bo, 24, Martha, 20, and Malcolm, 16, from four previous relationships. Ulrika shares eldest son Cameron with her ex-husband John Turnbull, while her most recent ex Brian Monet is father to son Malcolm and adoptive father to Bo, who's biological father is Markus Kempen. The mother-of-four's youngest daughter Martha's father is Lance Gerrard-Wright. Sharing her delight at the family gathering with her followers on Instagram, via a series of images and video clips, Ulrika said: 'First time I had my many, many Ungratefuls (all four of them) together for maybe more than a couple of years.' [sic] While it might have been easy for her daughter Bo to choose a career in the limelight, given the doors her mother's high profile life might have opened, she's opted for a very different - and occasionally very unglamorous - life. Bo, who was born with a congenital heart condition, graduated as a Norland Nanny in 2023. Prestigious Norland College has trained childcare professionals who've worked for some of the country's most high profile people, including royalty. Indeed, the Prince and Princess of Wales 's childminder - Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo - learned her craft at the college and now looks after Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, seven. Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger also employs a Norlander, while Princess Beatrice is thought to have hired a £1000-a-week Norland nanny for the birth of her first daughter Sienna in 2021. Newly qualified nannies can earn up to £47,600 at the start of their career, while some earn up to £120,000 after a few years' experience - plus perks including designer handbags, trips abroad and luxurious living quarters. When Bo first graduated from her university course, her proud mum praised her for reaching the milestone after always struggling with academia. Ulrika said at the time Bo was a 'grafter and a doer' and told The Sun afterwards: 'She's no angel and she's no brain box but she has applied herself and worked extremely hard to gain a skill which will always be in demand, it just so happened that she managed to get a degree while doing so. 'She can be a proper pain in the behind but she's a grafter and a doer and I have the deepest respect for her for that. 'So if you ever need your children to be looked after by someone who likes assembling flat-pack furniture and has an unhealthy obsession with sorting books and CDs in alphabetical order, Bo is the girl for you!' Ulrika said she was thrilled with how far she has pursued her education given that when Bo was growing up Ulrika had no idea 'how long this precious creature might live' due to her health issues. Bo has been in and out of hospital over the years as a result of her condition. She was born with double inlet left ventricle defect, a congenital defect that affects the valves and chambers of the heart. As a baby, Bo had to have life-saving surgery on her heart and Ulrika has previously spoken about her health condition, saying doctors told her they 'hoped' Bo would live to be a teenager. Bo hasn't met her biological father Markus Kempen, despite him reaching out to her. In 2021, Ulrika penned an article for the Sun about the anxiety she felt over a potential meeting between Bo and Markus. Ulrika shared her heartache over her partner walking out shortly after their baby daughter Bo's life-saving heart operation during the emotional essay. Bo has since offered her own side of the story, detailing how she has never felt a longing to meet her father, after being adopted by Ulrika's husband, Brian Monet, who she felt a connection with and calls 'daddy'. She said that she was left in 'floods of tears' after her mother's article, saying she's 'struggled to feel connected' to the idea of a relationship with her biological father. She revealed she feels there is 'no space for Markus' in her life at the moment, but didn't rule out a future meeting for them when she feels ready. Ulrika told Bo about her dad aged eight, however after already introducing her to her partners John and Lance, who acted as father figures, Bo admitted she struggled. She said: 'I talk about having a 'biological' dad because it's just a genetic thing to me. I haven't been able to make a connection emotionally. I was a bit confused by Mum's explanation because of my age and I remember going off to play straight after as I didn't have anything to say.' 'How can you ever be prepared for being told you have a 'real' dad somewhere in the world, somewhere in your past or present?' Bo said she draws comparison from children being told they are adopted, but it isn't something she ever spoke about with her friends. The professional nanny puts this down to having a strong support network growing up, as she admitted to feeling very 'settled' in her home and work life. This week, a current trainee at Norland College revealed what her days look like an soon-to-be elite nanny. The nanny-in-training, who is also undertaking a BA (Hons) in Early Years Development and Learning alongside her Norland Diploma moved to Bath also revealed she has learned how to correctly swaddle and change a baby as well as cook nutritious meals such as Pan seared pork chop and drop scones. Modules at the college include Safeguarding and Child Protection, Promoting Health and Wellbeing, Making Sense of Children's Behaviour and Working with Families and Communities as well as Communication in Practice, Food and Nutrition, Health and Wellbeing, Play and Learning, and Sewing. And since starting at the school, Lydia revealed she has learned to sew, completing a children's apron and a string of bunting despite never having sewn before. She also revealed that students get their hands on a 'Norland goody bag' complete with a large Norland-branded binder.

What it's really like to be a Norland Nanny: Student at school where royal childcare experts train reveals hers day-to-day including tiny bedrooms, defence lessons and incredible perks
A trainee at the elite school where royals and millionaires hire their nannies has revealed behind the doors look at her day-to-day. Lydia, who posts as @thenannylifewithlyd, is currently training to be a Norland Nanny at their college in Bath. Graduates from the school often pick up jobs with prestigious families, most notably, the Prince and Princess of Wales hired Maria Borrallo to look after their children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six. Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger also employs a Norlander, while Princess Beatrice is thought to have hired a £1000-a-week Norland nanny for the birth of her first daughter Sienna in 2021. Newly qualified nannies can earn up to £47,600 at the start of their career, while some earn up to £120,000 after a few years' experience - plus perks including designer handbags, trips abroad and luxurious living quarters. Lydia has now shared a picture of her tiny room inside the dormitory-style accommodation. The nanny-in-training, who is also undertaking a BA (Hons) in Early Years Development and Learning alongside her Norland Diploma moved to Bath also revealed she has learned how to correctly swaddle and change a baby as well as cook nutritious meals such as Pan seared pork chop and drop scones. Modules at the college include Safeguarding and Child Protection, Promoting Health and Wellbeing, Making Sense of Children's Behaviour and Working with Families and Communities as well as Communication in Practice, Food and Nutrition, Health and Wellbeing, Play and Learning, and Sewing. And since starting at the school, Lydia revealed she has learned to sew, completing a children's apron and a string of bunting despite never having sewn before. She also revealed that students get their hands on a 'Norland goody bag' complete with a large Norland-branded binder. The student also explained that they have normal university experiences, such as a Freshers Week which included a treasure hunt and fresher's fair and moving in to halls with the other trainee nannies. Easily identifiable by their brown dresses and matching hats, brown shoes and white gloves, Norland nannies are trained in their specialist college in Bath and can sometimes be spotted walking around the historic city in their famous uniforms. The course costs £15,000 per year and can be applied for through UCAS with prospective students needing to have at least three Cs at A-Level, or equivalent. The unique degree programme includes psychology, child health, philosophy, social sciences, literature and education. The trainee also revealed she has learned paediatric first aid including the recovery position and CPR. She has also undergone anti-terrorism training, alongside classic course like how to correctly feed a newborn. To ease the trainee nannies in to their new roles, they are also given new born simulation to look after and Lydia shared a snap of herself dressed in casual clothes pushing a pram with 'baby Freddie' in. Fellow nanny Sophie (@nanny_amara) has also taken to social media to give an insight in to her training. Taking to Instagram, the trainee has shared snapshots of the elite school's kitchen where she has been 'cooking up a storm'. And Principal Dr Janet Rose, previously explained that they try to balance the skills of a high level member of staff with those of a caring nanny, adding that it's the combination that makes the graduates so unique. She told The i Paper earlier this year: 'We get a lot of people comparing us to secret agents, but our lessons in self-defence and security are balanced against knowing how to use an aga or creating meals for a child with allergies.' And according to Elspeth Pitman, head of graduates and placements, there are said to be 14 job openings for every Norlander, with requests from 'surgeons, lawyers and business people who work long hours'. Those who are accepted on the programme must wear the £1,000 Norland uniform - and while wearing this clothing, students and nannies are reportedly banned from eating at fast-food restaurants, wearing headphones and chewing gum. They must also never cross the road without waiting for the green light to show while wearing the traditional uniform. Moreover, hair must be worn in a bun, nails are to be cut short, the word 'kid' is prohibited and engagement rings should not be worn when working with children. Ahead of a nanny being placed with a family, there is a formal interview, followed by a trial run for 24 hours, or longer in some cases. Nannies can expect to live in some of the world's most exclusive locations and holiday with families to high-end resorts around the world. However being a nanny is also extremely demanding: Norlanders must be willing to put the family first and 'never share' any private information they might have heard, 'even if it seems trivial', explained Elspeth. Students must also sign up to the Norland Code of Professional Responsibilities which sets out the professional standards they might up hold, including respecting the family's right to 'privacy and confidentiality', so no tell-all books about famous employers. They must prioritise children and their families and respect the role of parents, which can be a difficult dynamic for any childminder to navigate. But the nannies are well compensated for their work. A Norland nanny with more than ten years experience working overseas can command a salary of £130,000. But even for those just starting out they are well paid, taking home more than teachers, doctors and lawyers. For those working in London and coming in daily they can take home £49,500 and after five years their rate increases to £66,500. Norland College now accepts international students and had its first male graduate in 2019. Speaking to FEMAIL in 2022, Principal Dr Janet Rose and Mandy Edmond, Vice Principal, Head of Quality and Standards and Registrar, revealed how in order to be accepted, students have to be 'creative, resilient and practical' - and be capable of keeping their employer's secrets. Dr Janet continued: 'Amongst many traits, Norland Nannies need to be loving, kind, honest, creative, practical, responsible, organised and willing to continually learn and improve in order to do the very best for the families and young children with whom they work. 'We aren't looking for an in-depth knowledge of babies and young children because we will teach them this. 'Instead we're looking for what we can't teach – an absolute commitment to being the person that changes the world through shaping the life of the children they work with.' Students must also sign up to the Norland Code of Professional Responsibilities which sets out the professional standards they might up hold, including respecting the family's right to 'privacy and confidentiality', so no tell-all books about famous employers. They must also prioritise children and their families and respect the role of parents, which can be a difficult dynamic for any childminder to navigate. 'We interview all applicants that are predicted to meet our entry requirements and candidates also take part in a task designed to assess their communication skills and enthusiasm for working with babies and young children,' Dr Janet said. 'Students that are fully committed to developing both their theoretical knowledge and their practical skills over the course of Norland's four-year full-time degree and integrated practical diploma training will stand out,' Dr Janet explained. 'Norlanders, or Norland Nannies as they are known, are famed worldwide for their exceptional training, flexible approach and professionalism. 'They undergo intensive full-time training over four years that uniquely blends theory and practice with a wealth of hands-on real-world experience to earn two distinct qualifications – the Norland BA (Hons) early years degree and the prestigious Norland diploma, a unique qualification which teaches all of the practical skills required to care for babies and young children. 'While at Norland, students spend almost 50 per cent of their time (at least 1,216 placement hours) on placement in a variety of early years settings - including nursery, school, hospital, special needs school settings and as a daily and live-in nanny. 'They gain additional skills and experience for their toolkit through Norland's value-added curriculum, which includes self-defence classes, security and cyber-security training, emotion coaching, sleep and behaviour, skid pan driving, baby massage and many more. 'Another unique aspect of our delivery includes a specialist programme of employment preparation which incorporates interview skills, CV preparation and sessions on financial planning, including pension and tax.' NORLAND NANNIES: A HISTORY Norland College, founded in 1892 by Emily Ward, is a leading provider of childcare training. Emily Ward introduced a uniform so Norland graduates would be recognised as professionals and not mistaken for housemaids and it is still a strong part of the college's tradition. The founder focused her training on the principles of Friedrich Froebel, the German educationalist who developed the 'kindergarten system'. Its Early Childhood Studies course concentrates on numerous aspects of childhood. Students study elements of social science, psychology, child health, history, literature and education. It also trains its students - known as 'Norlanders' when they graduate - how to work with families, develop a child's math skills and become a whizz in the kitchen and teach a child not only how to cook, but how to cook healthy meals. Along with the traditional skills of cooking, sewing and first aid, new subjects on the curriculum include Taekwondo, self defence, skidpan driving - and escaping from paparazzi.

Which College Basketball Programs Have the Most NIL Money to Spend?
According to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, here are the nine college basketball programs that will have $10 million in Name, Image and Likeness or NIL money to spend on their roster for the 2024-25 season. Arkansas Razorbacks Advertisement BYU Cougars Duke Blue Devils Indiana Hoosiers Kentucky Wildcats Louisville Cardinal Michigan Wolverines Saint John's Red Storm Texas Tech Red Raiders Photo byFrom Norlander's article, these are the next 14 schools that can spend up to $8 million on their players for the upcoming college basketball campaign. Auburn Tigers UConn Huskies Florida Gators Houston Cougars Kansas Jayhawks Kansas State Wildcats Miami Hurricanes Purdue Boilermakers Tennessee Volunteers Texas Longhorns UCLA Bruins USC Trojans Villanova Wildcats Virginia Cavaliers No programs outside the Power Five conferences were listed. As for Gonzaga, the recruiting site On3 states the Zags have a $322K NIL average valuation. Let's just say seven to nine rotation players were getting paid around that amount in 2024-25; that would put Gonzaga's total NIL somewhere in the range of $2 to $3 million. Revenue sharing would have to be thrown in as well. This is all just a subjective assumption, and these amounts are not all the way accurate by any means.
