In the fall of 2024, Notre Dame freshman Bianca Molnar made her first appearance on the team college tennis circuit. Playing at the No. 4 singles spot, she led Ball State’s Sarah Shahbaz 7-6, 2-1 before the match was abandoned. In the following months, Molnar kept winning, accumulating a 24-14 singles record for the year and finishing an impressive 5-2 against ACC competition. Molnar looked like she was more than ready to step into the spotlight, which wasn’t surprising given her already monumental career accolades.
In the age of financial greed, artificial intelligence and a yearning for nostalgia, the magic of the film industry has been quietly vanishing without us noticing. Hollywood has traded creative risk for financial safety, slowing the development of innovative cinema and new ideas. Originality is outdated, and repetition is trending.
I am a Sam Levinson apologist. The writer-director behind the juggernaut HBO show “Euphoria” has been called every name in the book: hack, nepo baby, pervert. While these are more or less true, it doesn’t change the fact that he is undeniably interesting. So eager to impress and provoke, with his grandiose directing and lurid storylines, that one cannot help but get caught up in the mania of “Euphoria.” The show is completely ludicrous, centering on the trials and tribulations of kids who attend a funhouse-mirror version of high school, but I also think it’s much more thoughtful than a lot of people give it credit for. Its third and presumably final season premiered Sunday on HBO, featuring a five-year time jump as the main cast navigates adulthood. So what tricks does Levinson have left up his sleeve?

In the world of collegiate athletics, male athletes receive the lion’s share of handouts from the House v. NCAA settlement, which, effective in 2025, allows universities to distribute up to $20.5 million of sports revenue to its athletes. With football and men’s basketball already receiving substantial name, image and likeness compensation, the settlement has not stopped schools from throwing more dollars into the “funny money” package. According to many reports, football rosters will require $40 million to $60 million in combined school and NIL resources to compete with the top spenders. Meanwhile, men’s basketball costs reportedly will jump 65% for next season. We all know that football drives the car, and men’s basketball is in the front passenger seat. But female athletes apparently must once again earn every cent they get.

Women officially began filling the Notre Dame classrooms in 1972; however, it wasn’t until 1976 the addition of women’s varsity sports was established. For four years, women joined club sports such as tennis, rowing, fencing and basketball, which laid the foundation for the formation of the first varsity teams. The Unviersity introduced tennis and fencing as the first two women’s varsity sports, with basketball following in 1977; over the next two decades, volleyball, swimming, soccer, softball and rowing were given varsity status.

Last weekend, the Holy Cross College men’s tennis team extended their dominant shutout streak to five, defeating both St. Ambrose and Bethel 4-0. The wins brought their record to an impressive 8-2, with all eight victories coming after two disappointing losses at the start of the season. Holy Cross is now 2-0 in conference play, and their convincing displays have landed them the No. 8 spot in the national rankings. The Saints have been so dominant in the last few years that one has to look all the way back to 2023 to find their last conference loss.
