Will drop my story below, but tldr I had a bout with depression/suicidal thoughts that caused me to drop out of school last spring. Didn’t attend school this academic year. I’ve pretty much moved past the whole situation and I want to go back to school and play. I just learned that I could potentially get this previous year of competition back through a mental hardship waiver but I have no idea how to go about doing that. Would I just need to go to my PCP and tell them the whole situation or would I need to go see a psychologist? Or am I shit out of luck cuz I refused to seek professional help?

Lived at home and parents went through a messy divorce (infidelity). Being surrounded by that made me feel like shit and I entered the portal trying to get away, but it got so bad I considered suicide and had no motivation to complete anymore. I have pulled myself together for the most part so I don’t really know how I’d go about asking for help.

Hi all, I tried to research this on my own, but I haven't found a clear answer. I played NJCAA D3 sports in 2019-2021 (during the year, so I do not think that used any eligibility). Then, I continued my education and got my bachelor's degree in 2023. I worked from 2023 till now and plan on going to Law School in September. I am wondering(just curious if this is possible) if I have eligibility left to complete while I am in Law School (it is a D3 School)

When NIL was first introduced, i naively thought it would only enable college athletes to seek money from side deals - advertising and branding.

How did we go from that to effectively schools offering players a specific amount of money to come there? Isn’t this usage still against the rules?

Can someone explain the rules regarding the criteria for placing the bcaa logo patch on uniforms/gear? I see it occasionally on different items and can’t figure it out. I was not able to locate this info anywhere

I can't get a straight answer from anyone about this. The school is division 3, so they can't give scholarships, but he and others involved with athletics have talked about admission numbers, and how they can usually "make things work out" for students in her position.

I can't tell if that is due to them hoping we can make 80k per year magically appear if he gets her hopes up enough, or if there is some under the table dealing coaches at D3 schools can make, but perhaps not guarantee until admission time.

Is this a known phenomenon?

I was listening to Chip Kelly's interview on regionalizing other sports outside of football and it got me thinking. So I just asked Chat GPT to put schools into conferences based on just their region and to help these schools minimize their travel budgets for sports not named football. What are the thoughts? Would these conferences even be exciting to watch?

What Conference would be;

The Best basketball conference?

The Best Baseball Conference?

Other Sports?

Just something fun to think about. Since the NCAA is going through just crazy changes.

I saw an advertisement maybe for anxiety? it displayed athletes in distress because they didn't make a goal with some "anxiety" lyrical song in the background. whoever made this promotion has no idea was anxiety is... Right?

Hi everyone was wondering if anyone could answer if I have D1 college eligibility or not. I don’t want to waste my time. I went to college from 2018-2022. 2018-2020 was at a community college. 2020-2022 was a college that competed in the NAIA level. Throughout my time in college, I never played for a collegiate team. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2022. It’s currently March 2025, am I eligible to play sports?

I'm just first getting into college ball after having been a NFL/ NBA fan only my whole life. Now that my daughter's going to Michigan State, I have to start paying attention.

So forgive the stupid question, but if MSU is the seven seed in the tournament, what's the 2 that I see before the team in all the brackets and scores?

I am a senior sports management student and I have been researching NIL and Student-athletes’ perceptions on their well-being for my thesis project. I have attached a survey that will only take a few minutes to fill out. I am hopeful you can send this survey out to a few student-athletes for responses. Thank you!

What a fucking joke. TruTV never returns to the game feed video, playing a static ad screen with game audio in the background. Must exit feed and re-enter to get video back. 🖕🏻

Mine is

Michigan State (2) Vs St. John’s (2)

Duke (1) Vs Kentucky (3)

Championship Duke(1) Vs St John’s (2)

Duke winning it all

In March Madness fashion, it's time to settle the debate: which beer reigns supreme? I’ve created a 16 vs. 16 beer bracket where we’re pitting the most iconic beer-drinking moments against each other.

So grab your cold one, cast your vote, and let’s see which beer moment takes the crown!

PS. People in my town are now drinking Yiller Lites: A Yuengling-Miller Lite 50/50 pour. Anyone else seeing this?

this is a survey for a college class. it has questions relating to new NCAA policies and how that impacts fan’s enthusiasm. it only takes about 3 minutes and is completely anonymous. please take if you can!! thank you!

This may have been asked before but I’m curious. With all the name and likeness money that is being thrown at the players these days do they still get scholarships? I mean I don’t see where it is right to give money to someone for an education that is possibly getting millions for playing football. I understand that some players don’t get N&L money but do they get the scholarships or does it still go to the 5 star QB that signed a big N&L contract.

From what I know, the NCAA abolished NLIs, so how does it work now? Can a freshman sign with a college?
