And now, as Coach K prepares to say goodbye to the program he built at Duke, Wright Thompson takes us back to share where he came from, what it means for his reign to come to an end, and the legacy he'll leave behind.

The NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships begin today in Fort Worth, but you'd be forgiven if you mistook it for the Tokyo Olympics this past summer. That's because no sport has been transformed by the Name, Image and Likeness revolution across college athletics as much as Women's Gymnastics. Previously, Olympic stars like Tokyo All-Around Gold Medalist Suni Lee had to choose between cashing in on the lucrative endorsement deals that come with Olympic success, or competing in college. Now, under NIL, that is no longer an issue, meaning Lee will compete for an NCAA title this weekend as a freshman at Auburn. Fellow US Olympians Jade Carey (Oregon St.), Jordan Chiles , and Grace McCallum will all be competing in Fort Worth, in what is shaping up to be perhaps the most competitive NCAA championships ever. Alyssa Roenigk breaks down how the sport is being transformed, as well as the names and teams you need to know before this weekend's championship.
