Xavier walk-ons earn scholarships—team culture wins

When two Xavier men's basketball walk-ons, Ian Sabourin and Michael Wolf, found out they’d been awarded scholarships, it was more than just a personal win—it was a testament to the team’s culture. These guys have been grinding in practice for years, pushing their teammates and never complaining, even with limited game time. Coach Pitino called their attitude the best thing he inherited at Xavier. It’s a reminder that hard work and selflessness behind the scenes can truly pay off. What do you think—should more programs reward walk-ons like this? #Sports #XavierBasketball #TeamCulture

Auburn basketball’s lateness sparks big changes

Steven Pearl isn’t letting a 22-point win over Arkansas distract from a bigger issue: players showing up late. He’s made it clear—if you’re late, you’re not starting. That’s led to some shakeups, like Blake Muschalek getting more minutes and making the most of them with solid defense and hustle. It’s refreshing to see accountability in action, but it also raises questions about team culture and discipline. Do you think tough love like this helps a team grow, or could it backfire? Let’s hear your take, Auburn fans! #Sports #AuburnBasketball #TeamCulture

A high school athlete says he can’t even focus on football anymore because his teammates constantly bring up his sister’s OnlyFans. He didn’t choose it. He doesn’t promote it. Yet he’s the one dealing with the jokes, the comments, and the distractions every day. Some people say it’s not his problem and that adults can do whatever they want with their bodies. Others argue that online choices don’t exist in a vacuum and can spill over onto family—especially kids. So where’s the line? Should he just “toughen up,” or is it fair to say social media decisions can impact people who never asked to be involved? And should schools step in when harassment becomes part of team culture? What’s your take? #DebateTime #OnlyFansTalk #HighSchoolSports #FamilyImpact #SocialMediaConsequences #Accountability #TeamCulture #Harassment #ViralDiscussion

MSU volleyball’s culture shift: Kelsay’s impact

Kristen Kelsay’s first year as head coach has completely changed the vibe for MSU volleyball. After a rocky transition, she built trust with her players, leading to the team’s best season in eight years—even if they just missed the NCAA tournament. Kelsay’s focus isn’t just on winning, but on real relationships and a strong team culture. She’s not afraid to make tough roster calls if it means protecting the team’s values. With new recruits and returning leaders, expectations are higher than ever. What do you think matters more for a program: talent or culture? #Sports #MSUVolleyball #TeamCulture
