IRVING, Texas (AP) — Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark has received a three-year contract extension through 2030, the conference confirmed Tuesday.
ESPN first reported the Big 12 board of directors agreed to extend his original five-year contract, which was set to expire in 2027.
Yormark was CEO of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation entertainment company when he was hired to take over for Bob Bowlsby in 2022.
Yormark landed a six-year television contract extension with ESPN and Fox valued at $2.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the 29th-ranked defense in 2024, and they knew they had to address that during the offseason.
Two ways to improve your pass defense are by getting better at rushing the passer, so he has less time to pass and process what the defense is throwing at him. The Bucs did that when they signed Haason Reddick and drafted David Walker and Elijah Roberts. You can also get better play out of your secondary, which the Bucs are trying to do by moving Tykee Smith to safety and drafting Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure and one team’s screwup is another’s fortune. At least, that’s what the Dallas Cowboys must be hoping for when it comes to the second round of this year’s NFL draft. It’s funny, because that’s probably the exact same sentiment the New Orleans Saints organization felt back in the winter months when the conversation was about head coaching hires.
Pro Football Focus analyst Trevor Sikkema, in identifying teams he feels made missteps in their draft hauls, believes the Saints should’ve used the No.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Mexican soccer club León lost its appeal against FIFA at sport’s highest court on Tuesday and will not play in the Club World Cup next month in the United States.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said its judges rejected León’s attempt to overturn being removed by FIFA from the 32-team tournament for being in the same ownership group as another Club World Cup entry, Pachuca.

Instead of his patented thumbs-up gesture, Phil Mickelson is holding a hand up after his scorching-hot take on Scottie Scheffler backfired in a hurry.
Back in mid-March, Mickelson jumped on X after Joaquin Niemann picked up what was his second LIV Golf win of 2025 and claimed that the Chilean was the No. 1 player in the world.
The Boston Celtics live and die by the three. That’s mostly been a sound strategy for the team this season. The Celtics won 61 games in the regular season — and secured the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference — thanks to their reliance on the long ball.
But what happens when the Celtics’ three-point shooting goes cold? The team found out Monday night.
The Celtics set an NBA playoff record with 45 missed three pointers in their shocking Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks. Boston led by as many as 20 points before the Knicks started clawing their way back.

The Los Angeles Rams had to face the Philadelphia Eagles without Braden Fiske for most of the game in the divisional round after he suffered a knee injury in the first quarter. It was a tough loss for the Rams, who nearly beat the eventual champions to advance to the NFC title game.
It’s unclear exactly what the injury was but it was severe enough to require a minor procedure this offseason. There were no concerns about his availability for the 2025 season and based on a video shared by the Rams, he appears to be right on track.
