Quick Glance: Talks Cease on Bringing Capitals and Wizards to Virginia
- Negotiations to lure the NHL's Washington Capitals and the NBA's Washington Wizards to Northern Virginia have officially ended, as the proposal to create a development district with a new arena for the teams will not move forward, as announced by the city of Alexandria on Wednesday.
- Virginia's House speaker also confirmed that Ted Leonsis, majority owner of the teams, is no longer considering relocating them from the District of Columbia.
- The city expressed disappointment in the outcome, emphasizing that they negotiated a framework for this opportunity in good faith and participated in the process in Richmond to preserve their integrity.
- Governor Youngkin and Leonsis announced in December at a public event that they had reached an understanding on the outlines of a plan calling for a new $2 billion development district with a new arena in Alexandria, just a few miles from where the teams currently play.
The Alexandria, Virginia native also earned the honor during his time with the Michigan Wolverines. Show more

Quick Glance: Kenny Brooks' Virginia Tech Exit and Its Impact on Kentucky
- Two days after fourth-seeded Virginia Tech was upset in the second round of the women's NCAA tournament, Kenny Brooks has stepped down to take over as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats.
- Brooks boasts an impressive career record as a Division I head coach with a .717 winning percentage in 22 seasons. He replaces Kyra Elzy in Lexington after she was let go due to consecutive losing seasons.
- Brooks brings a successful tenure at Virginia Tech, where he led the team to a Final Four appearance and led the ACC in offensive efficiency and effective field goal percentage. In contrast, Kentucky ranked last in both categories this past season.
- Brooks' departure signifies a time of transition for Virginia Tech, as the team was already facing changes with key players potentially leaving. The Hokies now need to find a new coach who can continue the success under Brooks, while the ACC navigates a period of uncertainty.
