WNBA Deal Done, Calipari’s Arkansas Surge & UNC’s Coaching Shakeup

On today’s Sports IQ, Larry Smith breaks down a packed sports landscape—from major league labor deals to college basketball’s shifting power structure.

The WNBA and its players reach a long-awaited agreement, bringing labor peace and massive salary jumps across the board. Associated Press insider Doug Feinberg joins the show to unpack what the deal means, how quickly the league must pivot into free agency and expansion, and why this could reshape the future of women’s basketball.

Then, the focus shifts to March Madness and one of the tournament’s most compelling storylines: John Calipari’s resurgence at Arkansas. Jackson Fuller joins to explain how the Razorbacks have reemerged as a serious contender—and why this version of Cal might be more dangerous than ever.

Plus, a major shakeup in Chapel Hill as North Carolina parts ways with Hubert Davis, raising big questions about the future of one of college basketball’s most iconic programs—and whether traditional “blue bloods” are losing their grip on the sport.
