“Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the (bleepin’) Peace Corps,” John “Bluto” Blutarsky, played by John Belushi, says in the classic “Animal House” movie.
Try nine.
Miami tight end Cam McCormick, 25, has received a ninth year of eligibility by the NCAA in hopes that nine can allow him to play four complete seasons of college football.
Cam McCormick was at Oregon from 2016-22 as a tight end. He stands on the sidelines here against Eastern Washington on Sept. 10, 2022, in Eugene, Oregon. He caught two passes for 13 yards with a 2-yard in this game.

Remember last week, when four of the top-five teams in the AP poll lost in the span of two days? Well, more chaos could be on the way this weekend.
The top four teams in this week’s poll all hit the road for conference games Saturday, helping headline a packed slate of games that could continue to shape league races as the calendar creeps toward February. In all, 13 of 25 ranked teams play between Friday and Sunday, which seems like a lock to produce a few upsets.
Here’s a look at the biggest games and story lines you’ll want to track this weekend.
The headliners
No.
Buffalo Sabres defenseman and Hall of Fame gameday pizza orderer Rasmus Dahlin managed to earn back-to-back penalties on Thursday night. What was kind of unusual was that he didn’t even have to step out of the box for the second one.
The Sabres hosted the Blackhawks on Thursday evening in Buffalo. The game was originally scheduled for Wednesday but was pushed back one day due to snow.
The Hawkeye guard’s ‘rock star’ status is a welcome sight for longtime fans and a role she doesn’t take lightly

Tom Whitney has taken a unique path to the PGA Tour, as he served in the Air Force before turning professional.
No other PGA Tour player has the resume that Tom Whitney has.
Ten years ago, Whitney was in his fourth year of service with the United States Air Force, serving as a nuclear missile operator at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base outside Cheyenne, Wyoming.
One of the most important responsibilities of a PGA Tour caddie is crowd control. While every caddie takes that aspect of the job incredibly seriously, some are more gracious in telling loud fans to be quiet, and JT Poston’s caddie may be the leader of that pack.
The crowds at this week’s American Express in La Quinta, Calif. are sparse, especially on Thursday and Friday, given that the field plays three different courses throughout the week. That didn’t mean Poston’s caddie, Aaron Flener, could let his guard down during the first round of play.
Micah Parsons is not happy with Skip Bayless.
The Fox Sports Undisputed host expressed his displeasure with the Dallas Cowboys’ performance in the wild-card round of the NFL postseason last weekend, when the Green Bay Packers bested America’s Team, 48—32, at AT&T Stadium.
During and after the game, Bayless sent out a flurry of tweets, one of which was a comment criticizing Parsons for his impact—or lack thereof—on the game against the Packers.
Veteran U.S. women’s national team midfielder Sam Mewis announced Friday morning she is retiring from soccer due to lingering effects from knee injuries.
“Unfortunately, my knee can no longer tolerate the impact that elite soccer requires,” Mewis said in a statement. “Though this isn’t what I wanted, it’s clear that this is the only path forward for me.”
Mewis was a star at every level of soccer in which she played, first at UCLA, then in the NWSL for three different teams.

Daniel Berger is back on the PGA Tour at the American Express after a lengthy absence due to a back injury.
Daniel Berger returned to the PGA Tour this week at The American Express. He hadn’t made a professional start since the 2022 U.S. Open due to extreme back pain.
In his first round back, the former Florida State Seminole carded a solid 4-under 68.
He collected six birdies and two bogeys on the round. His return has had him excited but also on edge to see if he was ready to play or not.
Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer is calling out a former friend for allegedly defrauding him and his wife for over $1 million.
According to a recently filed lawsuit, the Baltimore Orioles legend claims that his hair stylist Warren Holmes “misrepresented himself” as a successful British entrepreneur. He later asked Palmer for multiple personal loans in order to be able to launch a beauty product line.
The lawsuit was filed after Holmes asked for an additional $2.5 million after failing to secure anything he promised he initially would with the original investments.
