The Big 12 has officially expanded to 14 teams with the additions of BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF but, it won’t stay that way for long. After this year, they’ll return to 12 teams once Oklahoma and Texas depart for the SEC. Despite the recent shakeup, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark wants the conference to stay at 14 teams, hinting that it could once again expand.

As the two-time All-Star continues to work on his “mental health and decision making” this offseason, it has not stopped him from reaffirming his pursuit to come back next season better than before, especially with the Grizzlies’ addition of Derrick Rose. Veteran guard Isaiah Thomas tweeted Wednesday that Morant “will have his best season yet… on some MVP s—” with Derrick Rose “connected to his hip all year long.

Both Peyton and Eli Manning know what it’s like to grow up in the shadow of a famous father. Each struggled at times to break free from the legacy of College Football Hall of Fame quarterback Archie Manning, a legend at Ole Miss who went on to have a lengthy NFL career. 
However, being on the other end of the equation is a new—and occasionally humbling—experience for two of the most distinguished siblings in the history of sports.
On Saturday, a viral photograph made the rounds comparing Peyton and Eli’s physiques with that of their nephew Arch, now a quarterback at Texas.

There’s no shortage of fantasy football draft strategies that have been popularized over the years. You can try your hand at zero-RB, robust-RB, early-round QB, late-round QB and so on. Each approach has its merits and faults; one isn’t necessarily better than the others.
We’re going to go over a few ideal team-building strategies using current average draft position (ADP) data for four different draft slot groupings (1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12).

The PGA Tour took drastic measures to hide the same files that Tiger Woods denied his involvement with Sunday night.

Given the reporting that’s emerged over the past week—that even after deciding to opt into the final year of his contract, James Harden wants out of Philadelphia—it’s more than fair to wonder what exactly the star guard is thinking.
For starters, the Sixers have a contending roster. Sure, it isn’t perfect. But it’s one that’s capable of winning the whole thing if league MVP Joel Embiid is healthy, young star Tyrese Maxey keeps improving, Harden is solid and everything else plays out in their favor.
