The Big 12 is headed to Mexico, as the league announced the launch of Big 12 Mexico.
The extension was announced Thursday and will see a number of sports being played in the country, including basketball, soccer and baseball. It was reported in May that the conference had made multiple trips to hosting sites in Mexico City and Monterrey, Mexico. Now, the deal is done.

Dalvin Cook is officially available, with news coming out Thursday that the Vikings will release him if they can’t find a trade partner by the end of the week. The seventh-year running back, who will turn 28 before the start of the season, has made the Pro Bowl each year since 2019. He has not rushed for fewer than 1,100 yards in a season since ’18 and has rushed for 43 touchdowns in the past four seasons.
This is about as excited as we can get about a 28-year-old running back who may end up as more of a complementary, rotational piece during the 2023 season than a feature back.

No one is getting more mileage out of the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl championship than Travis Kelce. Sure, quarterback Patrick Mahomes is doing his thing. But he’s the biggest star in the biggest league in America. Kelce, though, is making the rounds like never before. And now he’ll throw out the first pitch for the Kansas City Royals on Monday.

Travis Kelce, a Cleveland native, threw out the first pitch for the Guardians two months ago.

The Angels already employ two of the most impressive players in baseball: Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. Now they’ve added another.
Ben Joyce was taken in the third round of last year’s MLB draft after lighting up radar guns in his lone season at Tennessee. Last May, he threw the hardest pitch in NCAA history, a fastball that was clocked at a blazing 105.5 mph. He zipped through the Angels’ minor league system and made his MLB debut on May 29.

All he’s done since then is throw absolute heat on a remarkably consistent basis.
