Bair, a Class of 2024 prospect from Burley, Idaho, ultimately committed to Boise State over Michigan, as well as offers from Oregon, TCU, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Nebraska and BYU, among others. However, he will not join the Broncos program until 2026.
Heat center Bam Adebayo has been a name mentioned in regard to a potential Damian Lillard trade between Miami and the Trail Blazers. But the reason for his name being brought up has nothing to do with the 26-year-old being included in the deal. Instead, he’s reportedly been part of the reason for Lillard’s interest in being traded to Miami.
Adebayo and Lillard apparently meshed well and became close during their time playing with Team USA.
Six of the United States women’s national team refused to sing their national anthem once again at the World Cup, this time before the defeat to Sweden in the last 16.
For the first time since 2011, the USWNT lost in the World Cup, falling to Sweden in the round of 16 on Sunday in Melbourne. The loss also marked the earliest exit for the USWNT in World Cup history, as the lowest they ever previously finished was third place.
After the game, the team released a statement acknowledging the disappointment but also crediting the teams who did make it through to the quarterfinals.
Deion Sanders is not interested in double standards. The first-year head coach of Colorado had a lot to say about the continued realignment within college football and took aim at those who pointed fingers at his school just last week.
Friday was a day that changed college sports forever.
Oregon and Washington officially agreed to join the Big Ten alongside USC and UCLA in 2024. Meanwhile, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah came to an agreement with the Big 12.

At just 22 years old, Sauce Gardner already has an impressive resume.
In his rookie season, the New York Jets cornerback was a Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro and the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
But despite his immediate success in the NFL, Gardner still had some unfinished business. And when he walked across the stage in a cap and gown at the University of Cincinnati Friday, he took care of that, too.
“It’s a box that I feel like was unchecked,” Gardner said. “Now I could say I really made it.”
Officially a College Graduate.
The Red Sox endured a difficult day on Saturday, losing on a brutal double play to the division-rival Blue Jays when they had the winning run at the plate. However, the troubles went further than that, as manager Alex Cora benched outfielder Alex Verdugo despite the importance of the game.
At Cora’s postgame press conference, he declined to explain why he benched Verdugo, but MLB.com’s Ian Browne reported that Verdugo arrived late to the ballpark. Still, without specifically naming Verdugo, Cora did explain in a rant that the entire team needs to be more focused moving forward.
The casual cruelty of the game of soccer was on full display as the U.S. women’s national team was eliminated from the 2023 Women’s World Cup by the smallest of margins. Sweden handed Vlatko Andonovksi’s team its earliest exit in the World Cup, defeating the reigning champions 5–4 on penalty kicks, with Alyssa Naeher unable to keep out a tricky rebound after making a thrilling, potentially game-saving stop.
Many were skeptical of the USWNT’s chances against the Swedes after a disappointing showing in the group stage, but a savvy tactical adjustment buoyed the squad—the U.S.
Simone Biles is back in a big way. The 26-year-old gymnast made her return to competition on Saturday night and finished on top of the podium as if she never left.
Biles last competed during the 2020 Olympic Games in 2021. However, the well-decorated superstar withdrew from competition and sparked a lot of controversy with her decision.

Her decision to withdraw was considered “quitting” on the United States by critics, especially after she faltered during the vault competition.
