Lame duck FHSAA board meets landmark changes pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis • Expansion, rebranding discussions highlight Big 12 annual meetings
 Sentinel Sports Final Saturday, June 3, 2023 | | |
| | | | | A two-run home run by Florida shortstop Josh Rivera during the first inning proved enough offense during a sluggish night at the plate for the Gators against Florida A&M during the NCAA regionals. The Gators face Texas Tech for a spot in the championship round. | | | | | House Bill 225, signed into law by Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, tosses out current board members ahead of the 2023-24 school year. They will be replaced by appointees selected by DeSantis, who by all accounts pushed hard for the bill's passage a year after similar proposals targeting the FHSAA enacted. | | | | | With the Pac-12's future on shaky ground as it negotiates a new media rights deal, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado are rumored to be considering a move to the Big 12. Additionally, there are reports that the league is interested in adding basketball powerhouses Gonzaga and UConn. | | | | | Billy Napier: "My memories as a middle school, high school, college player and early in my college career as a coach, that's the Florida that I remember. That was probably the desirable thing about the job. You've got a chance to get it back to where it's been before." | | | | | The key for Orlando is getting on the board early like it did against Atlanta. Lack of focus has been the Lions' downfall several times already, with cheap goals being allowed after defensive lapses. In May, the Lions only managed to get 3 points once in five MLS matches. | | | | | UF men's tennis coach Bryan Shelton is leaving the Gators after leading them to the 2021 national title and three SEC titles in 11 seasons. He will coach his son Ben, who won the 2022 NCAA singles title, and is now 36th in the world rankings. | | | | | No. 4 ranked Rollins baseball (39-17) returns to Cary, N.C., to win the national championship. They will compete against No. 5 Cal State San Bernardino (43-17) this weekend in the Round of Eight. The Tars can sense their unfinished business in the Carolina air. | | | | | It has been a season of ups and downs for the Pride (3-5-1, 10 points), but the same can be said of Houston (3-3-3, 12 points). The Dash have lost two of their last five, alternating wins and losses. In that same span, Orlando has two wins, two losses and a draw. | | | | | Jimmy Butler took a step back in the NBA Finals opener against the Denver Nuggets. For the Miami Heat to regain their footing in the series, Butler again has to stand his ground. | | | | | BOSTON — Friday night's Rays-Red Sox game was postponed by rain and will be made up Monday at 4:05 p.m. Rain started shortly before the scheduled 7:10 start and continued, sometimes heavy. The decision to postpone the game was made at around 8:20 p.m. The teams are slated to play a day-night doubleheader Saturday, with the first contest set for 1:10 p.m. ©2023 Tampa Bay Times.
