Everyone is free to make their own choices, I'm just recommending something I believe to be educational and insightful if you enjoy sports journalism and analysis of the games being played and who is playing them.
The Athletic charges less than $4/mo. It covers every pro sport in every major market. It has coverage of about 40 college programs. It also covers sports business, league and sport-wide topics. It has run a few articles on Stanford sports even though there is no dedicated reporter for Stanford.
It doesn't advertise anything on its pages and doesn't track any of your browsing behavior. The reporting and writing is generally outstanding.
Agreed. It's a bastion of sanity and clear-eyed analysis in the maelstrom that is the sports world, and it's a steal. (My introductory price has expired, so I'm in for the standard price now, which I believe is about $5/mo if you get billed annually.)
