It's only the first week of May, and Andy Fales is already feeling the heat. He's got three major gripes that are bugging him this month—and they're all decisions that nobody seems to want.
First up: NCAA expansion. Both basketball and football are on the table, and the idea of expanding the tournaments is stirring up plenty of debate. For basketball fans, the Madness is already a perfect storm of upsets and Cinderella stories—why mess with a good thing? And in football, the College Football Playoff expansion has already changed the landscape, but Andy's not convinced bigger is better. More teams might mean more games, but it also waters down the competition and leaves traditional rivalries in the dust.
Second on his list: the Preakness Stakes. The second jewel of the Triple Crown is always a highlight for horse racing fans, but this year, there's a notable absence. Golden Tempo, a fan favorite, won't be running at Pimlico. For those who love the sport, it's a tough pill to swallow—especially when you're hoping for a thrilling showdown on the track. Without that star power, the race loses some of its magic.
Whether you're a college sports purist or a horse racing enthusiast, May is shaping up to be a month of controversial calls. And if Andy's got something to say about it, you can bet the conversation is just getting started.
