The NCAA has filed a federal lawsuit targeting Ohio's governor. The legal action, lodged on Friday, is intended to block Ohio Governor Mike DeWine from interfering with competitive balance across member institutions, Baker stated.
An executive order put into effect by Gov. Mike DeWine opened the door for Ohio colleges to extend athletic eligibility to players from the 2022 graduating class, granting them an additional year of competition. Under a court directive, both public and private Ohio universities gained the ability to field athletes who would otherwise be barred from competition by an NCAA regulation capping eligibility at four seasons of play. Lawsuits targeting the regulation — put in place last June — have since been filed across a range of courts.
Cooper's removal from the exempt list, a decision handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, clears the Denver pass rusher to take the field when the Broncos travel to face Arizona in Week 7. After sitting out Denver's opening six contests, he became eligible to join practice sessions through a temporary roster exemption lasting one week.
A conduct review tied to Cooper's pair of domestic violence arrests in June remains open and active within the league. Among the counts lodged against Cooper is a felony strangulation charge. A court date in March has been set for the proceedings against him.
Jacobs, the Green Bay running back, is set to come off the commissioner's exempt list ahead of the Packers' October 25 road trip to face the Detroit Lions, making him available for selection once more. A league notice published Friday placed Jacobs on the removal list, with the decision traced back to Monday.
Jacobs's shift in roster standing has had no bearing on the league's ongoing review of his case. A physical altercation involving Jacobs and his then-girlfriend led to his arrest in May, prompting the NFL to open a review of his conduct under the league's personal conduct policy. A no-contest plea to two misdemeanor counts — battery and criminal damage to property — was entered by Jacobs in the preceding month.
An ankle problem will keep Lamar Jackson out of the lineup for the second consecutive week. Jackson's availability for Sunday's game at Cleveland was ruled out, Minter said. Huntley steered Baltimore's offense through extra time on the road against Atlanta, with the Ravens ultimately leaving Georgia with a victory. Two starts made for Baltimore the prior season both ended in victories for Huntley.
Near the end of the first half in the Week 4 matchup against Tennessee, a sack left Jackson with an injury. Four absences kept Jackson off the field that season, during which Baltimore's record in those contests split evenly at two wins and two losses.
Hurts faces a sideline stretch of at least one game after a blood clot was found in a vein running through his calf. Questions about his throwing efficiency, readiness to carry the ball, and capacity to lead a team have trailed Hurts throughout his career, even as he claimed a Super Bowl MVP and guided the Philadelphia Eagles to a pair of NFC championship appearances. Whether he takes the field again before the season ends remains an open question.
Edwards has stated his intention to bring an NBA championship to Minnesota. Over the past eight seasons, a different franchise has walked away with the NBA title each time. Back-to-back trips to the Western Conference finals — in 2024 and the year before — marked a notable stretch for the Timberwolves.
The roster's arrival of LaMelo Ball, alongside an established core, has placed the team under considerable pressure to perform. Four All-Star appearances on his résumé, Edwards has set his sights on capturing a championship.
A championship drought spanning more than five decades came to an end for the New York Knicks, with Jalen Brunson at the helm of the run that delivered the franchise its first NBA title since 1973. Drafted as a second-round selection in 2018, Brunson carries an official listing of 6 feet 2 inches in height. At the opening of training camps, comments from James and Antetokounmpo placed Brunson among the players drawing notable recognition from fellow NBA stars.
Renewing its call for the resignation of La Liga's president, the club pointed to his comments in which he drew a comparison between Real Madrid's alleged pressure on referees and the propaganda tactics of Nazi Germany. In a lengthy post on social media, La Liga president Javier Tebas took issue with the way Real Madrid's club television channel portrays officiating decisions. Tebas drew a parallel between the approach and the propaganda methods associated with Joseph Goebbels, who held a ministerial role in Nazi Germany during the Second World War.
Heading into this autumn's championship round, both competing clubs carry payrolls that rank in the lower half of the league — a pairing not seen since 1991. A series opener between Milwaukee and the winner of the Cleveland–Tampa Bay matchup is pencilled in for October 23.
Holding the NL pennant's 19th-ranked payroll, Milwaukee claimed the NL pennant after sweeping Los Angeles. In the rankings, Tampa Bay sits at position 25 while Cleveland occupies the 30th spot.
A salary cap has been put forward by MLB team owners, while the players' union has taken a different position on the matter. Collective bargaining negotiations between players and management could leave the 2027 season in uncertainty if no agreement is reached.
