This basketball league wants to beat the NCAA at its own game. It offers high school players $100,000 to bypass college on the way to pro careers.

Fire up your thoughts on the NCAA and amateurism! The high school highlight powerhouse @overtime is making a run at the best 16-18 yo NBA prospects and offering them $100,000/yr in salary to skip college to play in a pro development league. @kevinmdraper: https://t.co/eOVIYENL81

Congrats and welcome to @nytimes, especially to @tracicarl, who encouraged me to go from reporting to leading reporters as an editor, then backed it up by hiring me as a news editor in Hawaii. https://t.co/aY5X9KKbRu
. @alanblinder and I with some hot clickbait for you: A long story about communicable disease insurance featuring spicy quotes like “It was one of the simpler claims processes” and “for a number of years, we have undertaken a risk management process.” https://t.co/wsSTqnb3M4

Pandemic insurance! Actually this story by @alanblinder and @kevinmdraper is quite interesting on the implications of the wonky realm for sports in 2021 and beyond. The NCAA got $270M, Wimbledon just settled its claim and the Olympics are a big question. https://t.co/yZD1AtVPes
Excited for my old friends that @annajobratton is getting promoted to AP's US enterprise editor. She's an incredible editor who cares deeply about thoughtful coverage and supporting the people she works with. More people will get to see that! https://t.co/9v8lldoz5F
A former coach of the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team was charged with criminal sexual conduct and human trafficking on Thursday. The coach, John Geddert, owned a gym where athletes said they were sexually assaulted by the former team doctor Larry Nassar. https://t.co/eDbzpmGcqv
It is quite obvious that Tiger Woods was seriously injured in the car crash, but this paints a pretty bleak portrait of what he is up against: https://t.co/lsFxk0QFeUhttps://t.co/wDUiC5ApI6
Novak Djokovic now has 18 career Grand Slam titles -- nine of them at the Australian Open. He beat Daniil Medvedev in straight sets. https://t.co/4ViPcz05sj
The NCAA will welcome thousands of fans to March Madness games, in a move that will generate revenue but increase the risk of a virus outbreak. https://t.co/mEykX39gXE
Naomi Osaka beat Jennifer Brady to win the Australian Open, remaining undefeated in Grand Slam finals as she claimed her fourth major title. https://t.co/sQPergUYNQ
With this #AusOpen championship, Naomi Osaka is the first woman to win her first four Grand Slam finals since Monica Seles did it in 1990 and 1991.

There’s trying to deceive antidoping investigators, and then there’s this: Russian officials invented fake doctors, fake medical certificates and even a fake hospital in a doomed effort to clear its star high jumper @NYTimeshttps://t.co/Z5uDWxC7LS
Rafael Nadal lost in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open to Stefanos Tsitsipas, ending his bid for a record 21st men’s Grand Slam singles title. https://t.co/hgXZqRl5Xh
