What happened last night? What events are coming up today? We have you covered with all of that and more.
Let’s dive right in.
College News
The NCAA continues to be the villain of the collegiate world. Most recently the NCAA has hammered on down on the Cal Poly Mustangs basketball program for their recent compensation violations.
There have been some rumors swirling over the weekend that Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has spoken with former Louisville head coach Rick Pitino about the team’s head coaching vacancy. The rumors immediately caught everyone’s attention, especially after Pitino’s success coaching overseas after being run out of the college game.

Entertainment News
Kanye West brought church to the desert with his live choir and Easter Sunday Service special at Coachella on Sunday, April 21. During the set, Kanye performed a new song, titled “Water,” for the crowd in attendance. Kanye’s Sunday Service had appearances from collaborators Chance the Rapper, Ty Dolla Sign, Teyana Taylor, 070 Shake, DMX, and Kid Cudi, but it was the new song that had people talking.
Controversial rapper Kodak Black is a walking, living meme. We were reminded of that over the weekend when the “Dying to Live” rapper took to social media to show off his new hairdo. Kodak decided to change hair colors and a video on Instagram revealed he has bleached his hair to a bright yellow.
