Ohio State players stick together.
The New York Jets are the cool kids of the NFL.

With all due respect to Gardner and his incredible rookie season it was Wilson who caught the attention of some players who are hoping to be a rookie of the year themselves come next February.

Since its inception in 2006, the World Baseball Classic has been a fun event for hardcore fans, but it has never quite shed its reputation as a silly little World Cup wannabe. To an extent, this is understandable. Despite baseball’s global reach, soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world.
Just look at some of this year’s WBC rosters, which were revealed last night on MLB Network, and you’ll notice more U.S.

Money has always played a role in recruiting across college football, but NIL takes things to a whole new level. When the NCAA passed its “interim” bylaws on Name, Image and Likeness on July 1, 2021, it changed the landscape of collegiate athletics forever.
