He finally did it. John Calipari of the Kentucky Wildcats has managed to get his first NCAA Championship after 24 years of coaching college men’s basketball. But with this glorious celebration comes the bittersweet moment of saying goodbye to many of the players that made this season possible.
Many of Calipari’s squad this season will be entering the NBA Draft in June, including freshman Anthony Davis, who is speculated to be the first pick in the draft, in addition to winning the 2012 National Player of the Year and NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player awards.

Nate Fudala enjoys making sculptures and functional art out of recyclable materials. He likes painting and drawing but enjoys creating art that has more of a purpose than just hanging on a wall.
Fudala, a Fine Arts major graduating in the spring, is not only a talented artist but a versatile baseball player for the Flagler College men’s baseball team. The four-year player began his baseball career at Flagler as an infielder but developed into a utility player.
“I’m proud of that because I like playing everywhere and I don’t like just being stuck with one title,” Fudala said.

Joel Dahlenburg was in a record-breaking mood at the Bearcat Golf Classic in South Carolina.
The Flagler senior fired a seven-under 209 over 54 holes to clinch medalist honors and set a new school-record.
His former teammate Chris Bray previously held the record after his 210 at the Will Wilson Southeast Preview in 2009.
Dahlenburg took little time to find his form and raced into first place after the first round with a six-under 66 — the lowest score of the tournament.

So we’ve all heard about it. Sean Payton being suspended for a year in regards to the bounty scandals plaguing his New Orleans Saints team. What I don’t understand is why Payton and the other coaches and players involved in the bounty scandal are not being expelled from the NFL and brought up on criminal charges for their behavior.
