For much of the USA Men’s Basketball run to a gold medal at the Paris Olympics, any drama around the team was self-created. The biggest drama was Jayson Tatum’s minutes — he didn’t play in the group play opener against Serbia (or the medal round game against them) and came off the bench against other teams, averaging 17.7 minutes a night (which was sixth on the team in the games he did play, the most of the non-starters). Celtics fans were riled up and angry with coach Steve Kerr — how could the best player on the NBA champions, a first-team All-NBA player be benched?

The new 12-team College Football Playoff will change the sport, in part because programs that never truly had a chance to make the four-team field will be in the mix but also because it will shift the way success is defined. For some, making the CFP field is a huge accomplishment. Others will need to earn the right to host games on campus or secure a first-round bye. And then there are teams like Ohio State and Georgia — where it’s a national championship or bust.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
