A GOOD SIGN FOR COLLEGE SPORTS IN THE FALL. NOTRE DAME PLANS TO BRING STUDENTS BACK TO SCHOOL AUGUST 10TH, THAT IS TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED. COLLEGE FOOTBALL CAN’T BE PLAYED UNLESS SCHOOLS ARE IN SESSION. NOTRE DAME SAYS IT WILL ENHANCE CLEANING, AND HAVE COVID TESTING, SOCIAL DISTANCING, MASKS, AND OTHER MEASURES IN PLACE WHEN THEY RETURN.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY HAS A POWERHOUSE CHEERLEADING PROGRAM. APPARENTLY, THINGS GOT A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL. U.K. HAS DISMISSED THE ENTIRE COACHING STAFF AND ADVISOR AFTER AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED A CULTURE OF HAZING, PUBLIC NUDITY AND ALCOHOL USE BY THE SQUAD. THE WILDCAT CHEERLEADING PROGRAM WON 24 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 35 YEARS, INCLUDING THE LAST FOUR IN A ROW.
NASCAR’S RETURN WAS A MONSTER RATINGS HIT, AVERAGING OVER 6.3 MILLION VIEWERS SUNDAY ON FOX. THAT’S UP 38% FROM THE LAST RACE BEFORE THE SHUTDOWN. IT’S THE HIGHEST NASCAR RATING SINCE THE 2017 DAYTONA 500. THEY HEAD TO CHARLOTTE THIS WEEK.

WE HEAD INTO MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. THIS IS USUALLY A VERY BUSY TIME FOR BOATING ON THE WATERS OF THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS, BUT NOT FISHING BOATS. THE WATERS WILL BE ROUGH WITH LARGER BOATS SO THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL FISHING TOURNAMENTS SCHEDULED FOR THE COMING WEEKEND. THERE ARE SINGLE TOURNAMENTS SLATED FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
