How effects of Michigan hacking are rippling nationwide The allegations have left much of college athletics concerned about what other athletes might be victims.

Prosecutors allege coach Matt Weiss hacked accounts of over 3,000 targeted, female athletes, including at least five from a small, D-II school in California.

How many schools will be impacted?

That makes coach Troy Taylor’s job security, after just six wins and two school investigations into his behavior, even more tenuous.

'Everyone is like family': Figure skating community devastated by D.C. plane crash There is no telling what the figure skaters and their coaches and parents who perished in the crash of Flight 5342 were set to achieve on or off the ice.

Figure skating isn’t just a sport. It’s a global community for only the most resilient and relentless.

Today it is reeling.
