NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the NCAA is drowning in problems. And time and again, it’s managed to land on the wrong side of nearly all of them: Name, image and likeness, the transfer portal, eligibility rules, men competing in women’s sports. The list grows longer by the day, and leadership continues to fall short.Earlier this week, University of Arkansas men’s basketball coach John Calipari spent nearly seven minutes in a press conference laying bare to what so many inside college athletics already know: the system is broken.…

Head coach Earl Grant’s decision to call a timeout with 36 seconds remaining advanced the ball over the half-court line after Donald Hand, Jr. rebounded missed opportunities by the Panther front line, so the toolbox didn’t require overthinking a potential game-winning shot. A basic play centered around Chase Forte’s ability to roll a pick play to Kapke after he shrugged a defender away from the BC point guard, and BC knew the call like…

There’s no guarantee that it will stay this way (you can say that again, and then another 20 times), but the Bruins are getting close to perfect health on their blue line. The latest step forward in that regard came Thursday, with confirmation from the Bruins that Jordan Harris will report to AHL Providence on a conditioning loan.

Harris, whose initial…
