TCU's Men's Golf Team Set for Thrilling 2025 Season with Big Showdowns!
As summer bids farewell and the fall season looms ahead, TCU is gearing up for an exciting men’s golf season. The Horned Frogs will kick things off with the prestigious Carmel Cup at the iconic Spyglass Hill Golf Course in Pebble Beach, California, from August 29-31. Hosting an event in such a revered location is no small feat and sets the tone for what promises to be a competitive season.
Following the Carmel Cup, TCU will also host the much-anticipated Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational at Colonial Country Club on September 29-30. This event will see an array of top-tier teams competing, including powerhouses like Alabama, Texas, and Stanford. It’s a fantastic opportunity for TCU to showcase its talent, especially considering they return four of the five players from last season’s NCAA Regional—Jack Beauchamp, Hudson Wilt, Toby Wilt, and Charlie Wylie.

Support Systems and Administrative Updates
In a different vein entirely, there’s exciting news from the academic front as the BEN Helps Support Portal is now live at Penn. This new resource aims to streamline support and services for users of various University systems. With an extensive library of solution articles and user guides, it enhances self-service options significantly, providing a handy tool for both students and staff alike.
Users looking for assistance can submit requests that generate tickets for timely support, ensuring a quicker resolution to any issues they may encounter. It’s a development that proves useful, and as folks say, „it’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.“ So, for those navigating the complexities of university administration, this portal is a real boon.
College Admissions Buzz
Meanwhile, the college admissions community is buzzing with news from UC San Diego. As they prepare to release freshman decisions soon, there’s much speculation surrounding their waitlist practices. The latest discussions reveal a mix of hope and anxiety among applicants. With a staggering number of students waitlisted in previous years, this year’s data shows 19,200 qualified applicants offered a place, yet only 4,600 were admitted from the waitlist.
Changes for Fall 2025 mean that waitlist opt-ins can now select a non-impacted or selective major as a second alternate, which might ease some concerns. It’s a wait-and-see game for many, encapsulating the uncertainty surrounding college admissions. As the famous saying goes, „hope is the last to die,“ and for those waiting to hear back, hope remains alive amidst the stress!
So, whether you’re prepping for a golf tournament, navigating university resources, or holding your breath for college admissions, there’s plenty keeping us all engaged as we transition into another busy season!
