This week in sports is marked by significant events and strategic developments across various disciplines. The Men's College World Series is set to begin, with powerhouse teams from the SEC and ACC, notably including last year's runner-up Florida, ready to compete for the national title. In business news, the Big 12 Conference is considering a landmark financial partnership with CVC Capital Partners, which could see up to $1 billion invested in the conference for a substantial equity stake, aiming to secure its financial and competitive future. On the professional sports front, the Boston Celtics have taken a dominant 3-0 lead in the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, largely thanks to their strategic and historic use of 3-point shots. Meanwhile, UConn’s head coach Dan Hurley has turned down a lucrative offer from the Lakers, choosing to aim for another national championship with UConn. Additionally, the US Open has begun with Scottie Scheffler positioned as the clear favorite, underscoring his top status in the golf world.
