Luke Fickell seemingly faced quite the challenge when he took over at Wisconsin and tried attracting receivers to a program known for running the ball. Turns out it wasn't much of a problem at all. The arrival of former Ole Miss and North Carolina offensive coordinator Phil Longo with his Air Raid offense suddenly made Wisconsin a much more intriguing destination for wideouts. CJ Williams came over from Southern California and Bryson Green arrived from Oklahoma State. Will Pauling and Quincy Burroughs followed Fickell from Cincinnati to Wisconsin.
The Southeastern Conference is leaning on help from high-profile transfers to replace some of the departed star power at quarterback. The league must replace a pair of top-5 draft picks and a two-time national champion. It makes for some intriguing preseason camps around the league. Two-time national champion Georgia must replace Stetson Bennett. Perennial contender Alabama is seeking a successor to No. 1 pick Bryce Young, and Florida moves on without fourth overall selection Anthony Richardson. Plus Kentucky is replacing Will Levis and Tennessee is replacing Hendon Hooker.
Luke Fickell and Matt Ruhle already have experience leading major college football programs. Ryan Walters and David Braun are getting their first taste. If all goes well, perhaps the Big Ten West will finally snap its 10-game losing streak in the conference championship game. The conference's four new coaches have followed different paths to the same Big Ten division. Fickell spent one season as Ohio State's interim coach before turning Cincinnati into a national power. Ruhle was a hotshot coaching prospect who failed in the NFL. Walters followed a more traditional path, and Braun was thrust into the job amid a major scandal.

Hilary Knight was the runaway leader in voting for the International Ice Hockey Federation's first female player of the year award on Thursday, some six weeks after the 33-year-old captained the United States to win the women's world championship. The IIHF announced Knight received 40.9% of the votes submitted by more than 50 media members, representing 16 countries, and a select group of federation officials. U.S. defender Caroline Harvey was second at 18.2%, followed by Slovakia's 15-year-old Nela Lopusanova (13.6%). Knight scored a tournament-leading eight goals, with three — including the game-winner — coming in a 6-3 win over Canada in the championship game in April.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh says he came out of spring practice with the best team he's had since taking over in 2015. The two-time defending Big Ten champion Wolverines return 13 starters.

Perhaps no scheme change across the country carries more intrigue than the one taking place at Wisconsin. A program that traditionally has prided itself on smashmouth football will have a different look with the arrival of Phil Longo. Longo is an Air Raid disciple who joined new coach Luke Fickell's staff as offensive coordinator after spending the last four seasons in the same position at North Carolina. That's led to questions regarding how long it will take Wisconsin to adapt and just how much this offense will depart from the Badgers' usual formula.
