The University of Tennessee was facing tough penalties when it came to the NCAA investigation into Jeremy Pruitt and the football program. One of those penalties could’ve been a postseason bowl ban, but the Tennessee Attorney General had his own plan when it came to navigating penalties.

It’s been over two weeks since 10-time All-Star James Harden opted into his $35.6 million player option for next season, with the intent of finding a trade to pave his way off the 76ers. While he remains in Philadelphia for now, don’t expect that to be a sign that his intentions to play elsewhere next season have changed.

The franchise tag extension deadline came and went on Monday with three running backs failing to get an extension from their teams: Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs have not signed their franchise tenders and are expected to hold out to start training camp, while Tony Pollard has already signed his with the Cowboys for the 2023 season.
Barkley and Jacobs both tweeted about their situations, as Barkley appears resigned while Jacobs argued he isn’t trying to “reset the market” but instead looking for a fair deal.
Plenty of times during Sunday’s spellbinding nearly-five-hour Wimbledon men’s final, the cameras found Carlos Alcaraz’s coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero. What they did not find was a broad register of emotion. His eyes wrapped in shades, Ferrero usually sat still as a gargoyle. When his protégé played well—or, more critically, made the right decision, regardless of the point’s outcome—Ferrero would gently nod. And, then, when Alcaraz faltered, Ferrero would … gently nod.

Cameron Smith wants to win The Open Championship again.
