Indiana’s hopes of contending at the top of the Big Ten in the 2023-24 season got a boost Wednesday when the school announced point guard Xavier Johnson had received a medical hardship waiver that will allow him to return for one more season with the Hoosiers.
Johnson, the team’s starting point guard in all 45 games he has played at Indiana, suffered a season-ending foot fracture in the first half of a December 17 road game at Kansas.

Bryce Young looks like he’ll be set up for success if the Panthers take him with the No. 1 pick.
Manchester City has been the favorites to win the league for a while but after its 4–1 win over Arsenal on Wednesday, it now has the title in its own hands. It’s still not top, but City is now just two points behind Arsenal with two games in hand and, given how well it is playing and the fact that Arsenal is without a win in four, it’s surely just a matter of time before a fifth Premier League in six years is wrapped up.

The UGA product is about to realize his lifelong dream of playing in the National Football League.
Georgia’s Darnell Washington is a tantalizing tight end prospect with extraordinary potential, but what’s even more remarkable than his exceptional physical gifts is the miraculous journey that he has taken to get to this point.
At 6’7 and 264 pounds, Washington put on a dazzling display at the scouting combine, highlighted by a 4.64 40-yard dash time that is nearly unheard of for a player his size.
As conference realignment and the rise of name, image and likeness have brought sweeping changes within the college football landscape, Maryland coach Mike Locksley feels that the sport should take it a step further an institute a salary cap.
Pointing to the Big Ten’s $7 billion TV rights deal signed last summer, Locksley suggested using that money to supplement programs’ recruiting efforts on Wednesday, and that the league should adopt a similar structure to the NFL.
“We signed a billion-dollar TV deal in the Big Ten,” Locksley told RJ Young of Fox Sports.

When Mets ace Max Scherzer was ejected from his April 19 start against the Dodgers, he became the highest-profile and most accomplished pitcher to be officially reprimanded for a “sticky stuff” infraction. Scherzer was adamant that he did not cheat in the aftermath, though ultimately chose not to appeal his 10-game suspension.
On Wednesday, Scherzer’s agent, Scott Boras, explained why.
As Boras put it to Sports Illustrated‘s Tom Verducci, Scherzer opted against an appeal because he considered it a “fruitless” effort.
Aaron Rodgers was nothing but smiles Wednesday afternoon when he was officially introduced as the Jets’ new quarterback after a blockbuster trade from the Packers. Even after the official press conference was over, the good times kept rolling and the four-time MVP poked some fun at his new backup.
In January, Zach Wilson was posed a question about the team possibly bringing in a veteran quarterback during the offseason and the young signal-caller said, “I’m going to make that dude’s life hell in practice every day.
The fallout from the Max Scherzer suspension is, to borrow a new phrase in the baseball vernacular, sticky-sticky.
Enforcement of how much is too much when it comes to sticky fingers remains a matter of umpire opinion. Umpire James Hoye let Yankees pitcher Domingo German off the hook April 15 because his hand was “tacky.
The Steelers miraculously salvaged a winning record out of a 3–7 start in 2022 and now find themselves picking 17th in the 2023 NFL draft.
Betting odds indicate it’s likely that Pittsburgh selects either a cornerback or an offensive lineman with its earliest pick since 2019. SI’s Albert Breer pointed out both positions as areas of need in the Steel City, along with defensive line and outside linebacker.
