- South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.

Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.

Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil

Quick Glance: How Investment Firms Shield the Ultrawealthy from Tax Authorities
- In 2015, the U.S. Department of Treasury hired economist Owen Zidar to help government officials examine the growing use of complex company structures and trusts by the ultrawealthy. These new investment schemes, often referred to as 'large partnerships,' are pervasive in private equity funds and similar investment firms.
- Following years of budget cuts, it was evident to Owen Zidar, now a professor of economics at Princeton University, that the IRS was not effectively enforcing tax laws for the ultrarich.
- With a significant infusion of funding, the IRS is now making efforts to penetrate these opaque bastions of wealth. An investigation by ICIJ sheds light on the challenges faced by the tax authority in untangling the secretive structures of the ultrawealthy.
- Partnerships play a crucial role in U.S. tax law and have become a focal point for large fortunes, contributing to a poorly understood aspect of growing economic inequality. Despite additional funding for the IRS, addressing large partnerships remains a formidable task.
