I don’t know if Billy O’Brien knows what to expect this … [Read more...] about BC-Fordham preview
Breaking Down the House v. NCAA Decision, What it Means for BC Athletics
Four years ago, the NCAA implemented a policy change that allowed college athletes to profit off of their name, image, and likeness (NIL). The decision was monumental for its time.

Previewing BC Football’s 2025 Season
“It’s college football,” Boston College quarterback Grayson James said after his team’s bowl-game loss last December. “A lot can happen.” And a lot has happened. Some of it was expected, and some of it was not. For example, everyone who watched even one BC football game last season knew that defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku was NFL-bound. Not so expected?
