Texas Tech guard Christian Anderson will stay in the NBA Draft:
“Lubbock, thank you,” Anderson wrote in a social media post to announce his decision to stay in the NBA Draft. “From the moment I stepped on campus, Texas Tech felt like home. Coach McCasland and his entire staff believed in me, pushed me, and helped me become the player and person I am today. To my teammates and the Red Raider faithful – the love and support you showed me every single night meant everything. The brotherhood we built is something I’ll carry with me forever.”
Go Wreck’Em!

Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger breaks down the new bipartisan legislation to regulate college athletics. There is a lot to digest and I am not going to summarize it, but here’s a bit (I also believe that Cody Campbell is in favor of this legislation):
The bill — named the Protect College Sports Act — precludes the creation of a so-called “super league”; creates an agent registry limiting fees to 5%; permits the pooling of media rights; and bars coaches from leaving their team before the season ends.
“This bipartisan bill is designed to save the part of college sports that fans actually care about,” Cruz said in an interview with Yahoo Sports announcing the legislation.
Cantwell described the bill as delivering historic protections for athletes in creating a national standard for name, image and likeness compensation (NIL) by preempting state law. The bill is intended to curtail the industry’s spending arms race to protect the future of Olympic and women’s sports and also provides athletes with guaranteed medical care and scholarships.
“Congress is hungry for any bipartisan legislation. I know America is for sure,” Cantwell said on the bill’s chances of passage in the U.S. Senate, where 60 votes are necessary for the adoption of legislation.
CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli ranks all of the college coaches and has Joey McGuire at No. 21, right ahead of Kenny Dillingham and right behind Kirk Ferentz:
So I guess if you finish 12-2, win your conference, and get to the CFP after putting together an incredible transfer class, our voters will reward you for it. Yeah, I was not surprised to see McGuire climb 27 spots to No. 21 in our rankings this season, and you shouldn’t be either. This is a Texas Tech program poised to be a Big 12 powerhouse for a while. 2025 rank 48 (+27), High 15, Low 29
