Much to Mike Krzyzewski’s consternation, the process of putting together this year’s Duke basketball team to help it play at its best is taking far longer than the coach would prefer. The staff had a week between losing 74-67 at Virginia Tech on Jan. 12 and Tuesday night’s loss at Pittsburgh. Poor play early against the Hokies left Duke in a double-digit hole it actually climbed out of before ...

Immediately after Clemson’s James Skalski speared Justin Fields on New Year’s Day – we dress it up as “targeting” these days – Pablo Fields took a phone call. A friend of the family, a doctor, was reaching out to Fields’ father, bearing a scrap of cold comfort. “She said he should be fine, the spleen is on the other side,” Pablo recalled. Plenty of other internal parts were still in play, ...

College football has its royalty: The Clemsons and the Alabamas. The Notre Dames and the Ohio States. The 5-star recruits and the 80,000-seat stadiums packed to the gills in a non-COVID-19 year.
