LEXINGTON, Ky. — Having presided over a competitive collapse last year in his 12th season as Kentucky football coach, the task for Mark Stoops in his 13th year as top Cat is to lead a Wildcats revival. What had been a UK record eight-year bowl streak ended in 2024 after a 4-8 slog, 1-7 in So…

TACOMA, Wash. — Around the same time he registered to become a stem cell donor, Carson Burke received a letter from Carson Burke. It was written in 2011, when Burke — who hails from south Seattle — was a 7-year-old at Kimball Elementary School. The school vowed to mail the letters to the stu…
PITTSBURGH — Will Howard is used to being the underdog. It's become part of his identity. Tell him he's not good enough, and he'll make it his life's mission to prove you wrong. The Steelers' rookie quarterback has done that every step of the way during his football career. At Downingtown West High School in Chester County, Pa., Howard was an overlooked 3-star prospect who failed to get Penn ...
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The word this week that the 2025-26 Kentucky-Louisville men’s basketball game will be played on Nov. 11 was a surprise.

Overall, it will be only the third time in a series that currently totals 57 games that UK and U of L have met prior to December, with Kentucky ...
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Big 12’s Brett Yormark may not be the most powerful conference commissioner in college football, but he is, by far, the most valuable, the most impactful and the most important. I can’t tell you how many times in this column I’ve railed against the bloated contracts, endless extensions and obscene salaries being given to one-hit wonder coaches and administrators in college ...
The $2.8 billion House settlement will allow schools to share revenue with athletes directly. Some athletes say they have little knowledge of what's happening now, much less what's ahead.
CHICAGO — The college sports world is still waiting for a resolution to the House vs. NCAA settlement nearly a month after a federal judge presided over the final approval hearing. The $2.8 billion settlement, if approved, would benefit thousands of former and current college athletes. It would provide back pay to former athletes for missed name, image and likeness (NIL) opportunities. And it ...

 Lani Warren launched a two-run shot to left field in the bottom of the first, and SAC Freshman of the Year Avery Kiger scored the game winning run on a homer in the sixth.
PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin is not afraid to put up a smokescreen or two during the pre-draft process to keep the other 31 teams guessing. Remember his flirtation with Malik Willis a few years ago, when he had the football world convinced the Steelers were going to take the quarterback out of Liberty University? Or his willingness last Tuesday to speak at length about Shedeur Sanders? The ...
RENTON, Wash. — On Thursday, Tosia Jaszczak Follehr sat on a stage at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center and answered a question from Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Once, so much of the preceding paragraph would have seemed impossible. “How ...
MIAMI — Shedeur Sanders showed up to the “2Legendary” draft day party he was hosting in a white Bentley, but not the one he purchased/leased and was being driven around in during college, and had a diamond-encrusted dollar sign necklace the size of a paper plate around his neck.

LOS ANGELES — Rename the school Shaqramento State. Or perhaps Shaq State will do. Sacramento State announced Tuesday that it hired outsized personality and hoops icon Shaquille O'Neal as general manager of its forlorn men's basketball program. OK, so maybe hired isn't an accurate term because O'Neal — whose net worth is estimated at $500 million — will do the job on a voluntary basis. But Shaq ...
FORT WORTH, Texas — The old Yiddish saying goes, “Man Plans, and God Laughs,” and there’s another one somewhere that says, “Quarterback Dads Make Plans, and the NFL Laughs Much Harder.” For the first time in his life, having Deion Sanders as his father worked against Shedeur Sanders. For the first time since he was a freshman at Ohio State, Quinn Ewers is not that special, and thought less of ...

After waiting through two nights and four rounds, the former Colorado quarterback and record-setting Buffs passer was taken by the Browns on Saturday afternoon with the 144th pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft. The selection was much later than many predicted, as the 6-foot-2 Texas native had been mocked as a ...
CHICAGO — The voicemail was left with an odd combination of reluctance and concern. Mongo, give a shout when you get a chance. Just wanted to check in. Whispers had been circulating that Chicago Bears great Steve McMichael was coming apart physically and struggling to understand why. What exactly was going on? Was there reason for worry? Any validity to fears that McMichael suddenly was face ...
