Carlota Ciganda was disqualified after the second round of the Amundi Evian because she would not accept a slow-play penalty.
Is the Big Ten about to reach out and steal Oregon from the PAC-12?
That’s a question a lot of fans have now that Colorado has cut and run from the PAC-12 to the Big 12. It was a move I’ve been predicting for months.
The PAC-12 propagandists said it would never happen. Well, the fat lady is howling and the Buffaloes are heading to the Big 12.
That means the West Coast conference has never been closer to collapse than it is right now. Dennis Dodd reported there’s whispers PAC-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff wanted $500 million annually. Comical. Absolutely comical.
With Colorado set to bolt from the Pac-12 for the Big 12 in the latest conference realignment move, ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said the league is open to new membership.
In a college sports landscape that is turning into adapt-or-die for leagues not named the Big 10 or SEC, it makes sense that the ACC, which is likely the third most attractive league thanks to the likes of Florida State and Clemson, would be open to adding new members.

Catcher Jake Rogers slid in safely to third but then oddly took his foot off the bag while getting up and was quickly tagged out to end the eighth inning.

3 teams who should buy at the upcoming MLB trade deadline, and 3 teams who should sell.
As Major League Baseball gets closer and closer to the always-hectic trade deadline, we’re starting to get a clearer idea of who’s going to be buying and who’s going to be selling. The Angels have already swung a deal for one of the biggest names that figured to be on the move, so they’ve clearly established themselves as buyers while also making it clear that they’re going all-in on retaining the services of Shohei Ohtani this offseason.
This week’s edition of the Crosstown Classic was filled with deadline implications. This is how it played out in both clubhouses.
