NHL – Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, the Golden Jet, dies  at 84

Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull, who helped the  Chicago Black Hawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup Final, has died. Hull was 84. The  two-time MVP was one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history, leading the  league in goals seven times. Nicknamed “The Golden Jet” for his speed and blond  hair, he posted 13 consecutive seasons with 30 goals or more from 1959-72. Hull  and Stan Mikita powered Chicago to the NHL title in 1961. Hull remains the  Blackhawks’ career leader with 62 playoff goals. He was inducted into the  Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and his No. 9 sweater was retired by Chicago that  same year.  Hull’s brother, Dennis,  played for Chicago for most of his 14 years in the league, and Bobby’s son,  Brett, spent 19 years in the NHL. Bobby and Brett each won the Hart Trophy as  league MVP, becoming the first father-son duo to accomplish the feat. Bobby won  in 1964-65 and 1965-1966, while Brett won in 1990-1991.

  Purdue  is this season’s first unanimous No. 1 team in the AP men’s college basketball  poll. The Boilermakers have won eight straight games since a one-point loss to  Rutgers on Jan. 2. They were followed in the AP Top 25 by Tennessee, Houston,  Alabama and Arizona in the top five. No. 11 Baylor and No. 17 Providence made  the biggest jumps, each climbing six spots. Auburn had the biggest drop,  falling 10 spots to No. 25. No. 21 Indiana and No. 22 San Diego State rejoined  the poll at the expense of Charleston and New Mexico.

  South  Carolina, Stanford and LSU are the top teams in the latest women’s AP Top 25  college basketball rankings. South Carolina is No. 1 for the 32nd consecutive  week. Only UConn (51 and 34 weeks) and Louisiana Tech (36) have had longer runs  at No. 1. Indiana and UConn round out top five. Ohio State lost all three of  its games last week and dropped from No. 2 to No. 10. 

NCAAFB  – Rashada case in Florida highlights issues in NIL, recruiting

  Using  name, image and likeness compensation to recruit college athletes is still very  much against NCAA rules. The recent de-commitment from Florida by blue chip  quarterback Jaden Rashada shows that NIL is definitely a factor in decisions.  Booster-funded collectives are taking on a big role in compensating athletes.  Schools can only hope they are acting within the rules and in their best  interest. Inserting a third-party in the recruiting process between coaches and  recruits has only complicated things. Experts say the collectives should focus  on athletes who are already on campus.
