College athletes face fewer games and shorter grind
The NCAA Presidents Commission unveiled a plan to cut scholarship limits and reduce time demands, aiming for 20 hours per week and fewer contests in most sports, with football retaining its schedule. The package, if approved, would phase out athletic dorms over five years and restore two basketball games per season while enforcing a weekly sports free day and eight off-season hours.

Spencer Returns to Myrtle Beach for Busch Race
Jim Spencer recalls Myrtle Beach Speedway fondly as he returns to Busch Grand National racing after a Winston Cup stint. The Berwick, Pennsylvania native moved from 20th to win last year's Busch race at the speedway, then progressed to 17 Winston Cup starts with Buddy Baker before joining Rod Osterlund in a Pontiac. Spencer aims to qualify today for Saturday’s race with 42 cars entered for a 32 car field, hoping last year’s setup helps. He notes strong Busch support from the Lewis Franklin racing team and stresses the series’ competitiveness comparable to Winston Cup.
