A judge directed lawyers to address a short list of her remaining concerns about a multibillion-dollar settlement that could reshape college sports.

After a relatively clean first half between Florida and Houston in the 2025 NCAA men’s basketball tournament championship game in which just four fouls were called, whistles echoed through the Alamodome in San Antonio much more frequently in the early minutes of the second half.
One of them was directed at an unusual offender.
With the Florida Gators trailing 36-30 with 17:21 remaining in regulation, a foul was called on Florida guard Will Richard, much to the objections of the Gators’ bench on the other side of the court.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene was forced to change gloves at the start of his outing Monday night against the Giants in San Francisco.
Fanduel Sports Network reporter Jim Day explained why the umpire told Greene he couldn’t use the red Nike glove he wore to start the game, and had to instead use a beige glove.

Fans at a rugby match in France expected to see some standard rugby action, but they got to see a rescue mission as well.
At the European Rugby Championship match in Toulouse, France, a parachuter was dropped into the stadium pregame for a little extra flare. Things got dicey quickly though, as the parachuter’s equipment got caught in the roofing at Le Stadium de Toulouse.
The man was reportedly a French soldier, and he dangled 50 feet above the ground for 40 minutes until local fire department personnel came to his rescue.

NEW YORK (AP) — Juan Soto hit a go-ahead double in the third inning and Kodai Senga combined with a standout bullpen for New York’s second shutout in four days, a 2-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday night that extended the Mets’ winning streak to five.
Signed to a record $765 million, 15-year contract in December, Soto drove a cutter to the opposite field in left-center off Valente Bellozo (0-1) to score Francisco Lindor, who singled to start the inning for the second of his three hits. Soto also singled for his first multihit game with the Mets.

The SEC’s status as a powerhouse football conference is well-documented. But the conference is no slouch in the realm of basketball.
While Kentucky is the school many fans think of first as a bona fide blueblood, the Florida Gators have built a nice resume of their own. On Monday, they’re playing for their third national championship, all of which have come since 2006.
Florida has a pair of national championships won in 2006 and 2007 under Billy Donovan, who was inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2025.
