3 landing spots for Sophie Cunningham, including Atlanta Dream
As the WNBA Finals wind down, free‑agent Sophie Cunningham emerges as a hot commodity. The former Connecticut Sun guard, known for her 3‑and‑D play (41.9% from three and nearly a steal per game) and outspoken views on trans athletes, could land with three teams: the Dallas Wings, where her floor‑spacing and defensive versatility would complement shooters like Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers; the Atlanta Dream, who are down 3‑2 to the Golden State Valkyries and would benefit from a defensive duo with Angel Reese; or a return to the Indiana Fever, the most logical fit given her eight‑year tenure and chemistry with Caitlin Clark. Each option offers a different role for Cunningham as the league heads into a blockbuster offseason.

USC Trojans & Lincoln Riley should be headed toward divorce
USC’s once‑celebrated partnership with head coach Lincoln Riley may be nearing its end, says The Big Lead. After a spectacular 11‑3 debut in 2022 and a Heisman win for Caleb Williams, the Trojans have stumbled, most recently a 24‑7 loss to unranked Wisconsin that dropped #16 USC. At 6‑2 this season, Riley’s five‑year, $110 million contract (with a $70 million buyout) and lack of College Football Playoff appearances have sparked rumors of a split. Athletic director Jennifer Cohen must weigh pricey termination against options like Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham, Boise State’s Spencer Danielson or Clemson’s Dabo Swinney.
