ESPN released the pairings for next season's ACC-Big Ten Challenge, and the series will feature an all-Pennsylvania showdown between Penn State and Pittsburgh.
Pat Chambers' Nittany Lions will visit the Panthers in what should be one of Pitt's first marquee games as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. It will be the 145th all-time meeting between the schools, but the first since 2005.
The biggest national games in the series are Indiana at Syracuse, Michigan at Duke and North Carolina at Michigan State.

I've long been fascinated by the steeplechase at the Penn Relays, and I know I'm not alone.
As the sun sets on Thursday night, what's left of the crowd migrates over to the northeast corner of Franklin Field and casts its gaze upon a big pit of water.
Over the course of an hour, dozens of runners go up over a hurdle and come down with a splash. It's one of the Relays' most entertaining scenes.

Ever since conferences started running their own digital video packages, Ivy League fans have wanted in on the action.
But for the last few years, Ancient Eight fans have had to pay for each individual school's streaming service. In addition to being a logistical hassle, that could get pretty expensive.
Those days are over now.

There's no better sign of the arrival of sunshine and warm weather than the start of the Penn Relays. Though it took spring a while to shoo winter out of town, it's finally time to return to the fabled track at Franklin Field.
This year marks the 119th edition of the world's laragest outdoor track and field meeting. As has been the case every year I've worked for Philly.com, I'll be on press row throughout the weekend bringing you live coverage of all the big races.

La Salle made the deepest run of any City Six team in the NCAA tournament, and the Explorers were rewarded with a place in the final ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll of the season.
John Giannini's crew are ranked No. 24, a spot ahead of Florida Gulf Coast. Atlantic 10 rivals Virginia Commonwealth and Saint Louis were also ranked, at No. 23 and No. 16 respectively.
The top four teams were the final four teams alive: Louisville, Michigan, Syracuse and Wichita State.

This one's short and... well, I can't say sweet, because it's the wrong round. But at least it's short.

To paraphrase the old chant:
Is that a college basketball venue?
Yes, that's a college basketball venue.
Or so the NCAA would like us to believe.
