A fundraiser. Michigan hockey alumnus Scott Matzka passed away from ALS this year. His teammates have a gofundme up to help defray educational expenses for his kids:

Could you hurry up with those maybe? The NCAA is set to act in some capacity against six as-yet-unnamed basketball programs swept up in the FBI probe:

ORLANDO, Fla. -- At least six Division I men's basketball programs will receive notices of allegations for Level I violations from the NCAA by the summer, stemming from the federal government's recently completed investigation of the sport, a top NCAA official told CBS Sports.

Stan Wilcox, NCAA vice president for regulatory affairs, said two high-profile programs would receive notices of allegations by early July.

LSU, Arizona, Kansas, and Louisville are almost certainly four of the six.

This is a bifurcation point for the NCAA. Anything short of crippling penalties for programs that are either already on probation, like Louisville, or had head coaches directly participating in buying players, like LSU and Arizona, and there are no rules worth following. Single-season post-season bans aren't going to cut it.

The Store The Store The Store

We are back at 333 S. Main Street, the Bo Store, because it worked so well last time. Come down, bring beer if you like, and pull up chair.

Special guests today: Former Michigan hockey player Scott Matzka to talk about My Turn (scottmatzka.com/), ALS, and when beating Michigan State meant something. Also Steve Lorenz from 247 will come on to answer the same amoebic questions about Michigan recruiting, because they make us feel fuzzy. Also also Matt Demorest will come by, and might have something for you if you join us.

If you have any questions put them in the comments or come ask them yourself—it’s a packed show but we may get to them at the end. As always, priority to the present.
