Sister Jean, the longtime chaplain for Loyola Chicago's men's basketball team, has retired at 106 because of health concerns. The Loyola Phoenix, the school's student newspaper, announced her retirement earlier this month. Sister Jean became famous during Loyola Chicago's run to the Final Four in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. She was often seen cheering courtside and supported the team for years. Sister Jean served as the team's chaplain for 30 years, becoming a beloved figure at the university.

The NCAA has permanently banned three Division I college basketball players for betting on their own games. The players from Fresno State and San Jose State shared thousands in payouts. The NCAA Committee on Infractions released findings that Mykell Robinson, Steven Vasquez, and Jalen Weaver bet on each other’s games. Two players manipulated their performances to win bets during the 2024-25 season. The NCAA said Robinson and Vasquez failed to cooperate with the investigation, while Weaver agreed to the violation. All three are no longer enrolled at their previous schools. Neither school faced punishment.
