*With USC and UCLA going to the Big Ten together next year, should Notre Dame swap Stanford for UCLA on its annual football schedule?

*Thoughts on former USFL president Brian Woods launching a spring football league for high school recruits.

*The PGA-LIV gold merger yesterday caused shock waves throughout the sports world. Is there a sports analogy we would use to explain the merger? 

*Miguel Cabrera leads all active MLB players with 3,198 hits. He is No. 24 all-time. The next most hits by an active player is Joey Votto with 2,093. On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are we that we’ll ever see another 3,000-hit player? 

 *The Women’s College World Series championship series between Oklahoma and Florida State starts tonight. What’s your interest level?
