Susan: It has always been a positive and fun rivalry. I think this comes from the top down and the culture is carried down over the years. As much as we want to win, we are all friends.
Britt, a two-time USA Water Polo Academic All-American, credits her family for inspiring her to make the switch. Eliza graduated from Princeton last year after four seasons with the Tigers, one of Michigan's biggest Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) rivals. Choosing where to go to college is where Carter deviated from her older sister's path.
"My sister went to Princeton, and I think my parents always wanted that for me, but I liked the atmosphere here," Britt explained. "Princeton and Michigan are both very good academic schools, but at Michigan there's that school spirit."
"I knew that Ella wanted to go to Michigan, and people thought I would go to Princeton because my sister went there," Britt said. "I remember I was nervous to tell her that Michigan was my number one. I didn't know how she would feel about going to the same school together because college is supposed to be all about branching out.
"I think having a community just makes everything so much more fun," Britt said. "Seeing two girls who played on my high school team that I am really close with killing it at UCLA and Stanford is something that makes me so excited for them. Knowing that basically every senior from my high school water polo team is playing in college, and being able to say hi to them during games is such a fun thing."

I am about to start my 13th and final year at Lovett and I would not have wanted to grow up at any other school. I truly have "loved it at Lovett." The faculty and staff in the Lower, Middle, and Upper schools are all amazing, and while you are going to have your favorites, it is easy to see how well qualified every teacher is at Lovett. Our academics are on par with rival schools in Atlanta, yet Lovett maintains a positive and less competitive environment for students, leading to a better overall experience.

While they were cleaning the premises, school employees were shocked to discover the leopard in the canteen. After spotting the cat, they quickly shut the doors and windows of the canteen from the outside.
"The leopard has scratch marks and wounds on the head, ear, neck, chest and tail regions," Bangar said in the press release. "The injuries indicates that he must have gotten into a territorial fight with another male and had rushed to find shelter inside the school."

Each program is taught daily by professionals in their respective fields.

Last year, more than 3,000 FBS players entered the portal, which was open year-round. Quarterbacks Caleb Williams (USC), Bo Nix (Oregon) and Spencer Rattler (South Carolina) were among the prominent transfers who made an immediate impact at their new schools. Through Thursday, Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m. ET, there were 1,328 players in the portal, including 856 who were at an FBS school this season.
This time around, the NCAA adopted dates for when players can enter the portal and not lose a year of eligibility, though they can sign with their new school at any time. The first window is open for 45 days from Dec. 5 until Jan. 18, and the second runs in the spring from May 1-15.
Sophomore defensive lineman Darrell Jackson Jr. is heading from Miami to rival Florida State. Jackson, who transferred to Miami last season, had three sacks in 2022. A three-star lineman out of Havana, Florida, in the Class 2021, he committed to Maryland before entering the transfer portal last season.
As of 10 p.m. ET, there were nine schools that had 10 or more players enter the transfer portal, with Colorado State and Louisiana Tech leading the way with 15 players each. Oregon and Arkansas each had 13 portal entries, with Alabama, Maryland and Virginia Tech each having 11. Texas A&M and Kent State each had 10.
Leary will have one year of eligibility remaining at his new school, as he's spent five years at NC State. His production over the past four years -- 6,807 and 62 touchdowns -- will make him one of the most productive portal quarterbacks available. Leary's 2022 season got cut short when he tore his right (throwing) pec against Florida State on Oct. 8.
Philadelphia Union Academy picked up a pair of rivalry wins on Saturday afternoon at the WSFS Bank Sportsplex in Chester, PA., with the U17s and U14s nabbing important league points against their I-95 rivals.
For college chancellors and presidents, the "salary" is often just the beginning of the haul, which can include free cars and houses and deferred compensation packages the size of a salary in themselves, according to a new study by the Chronicle of Higher Education. And different schools in Texas take different strategies to finance the executive packages, with some, particularly schools in the University of Texas system, relying heavily on private dollars.
Last offseason, both LSU and Florida saw players leave their programs en masse following the firings of Ed Orgeron and Dan Mullen. Thirty former LSU players hit the portal between Orgeron's firing and the start of this season, as did 19 former Gators. As a result, both Billy Napier and, especially, Brian Kelly had to rely on the portal hard to fill out their rosters after taking over at those schools.
