Rutgers AD Patt Hobbs thinks the Big Ten should take its time with further expansion.
Rumors are swirling Washington and Oregon could soon follow USC and UCLA to the Big Ten amid issues with the PAC-12.
To be clear, nobody with any power to impact the situation has made that claim, but there has been a lot of smoke. Specifically, it was previously reported the two would come for reduced payouts in the neighborhood of $40 million annually. While Hobbs isn’t against further expansion, he did urge people to take things slowly moving forward.

The Colorado spring game will be broadcast for the country to see.
Ever since Deion Sanders took over the program, the Buffaloes have been in the spotlight. For the first time in a long time, it feels like Colorado is relevant.
Well, that status has officially been cemented thanks to the team’s spring game. The Buffaloes April 22 spring game will be broadcast on ESPN and also sold 35,000 tickets, according to Brian Howell.
The game will be the only spring game to get a broadcast on ESPN.

Colorado’s spring football game will be broadcast by ESPN on April 22 at 1 p.m. MT.

ESPN, once again, managed to make a very bizarre broadcast decision in an XFL locker room.
Following a Sunday game between the St. Louis BattleHawks and Arlington Renegades, the ESPN2 broadcast followed St. Louis QB A.J. McCarron into the locker room.
That’s when things went off the rails. A player was shown in the background clearly not wearing pants, and if it hadn’t been for the incredibly lucky placement of a towel, it would have been a disaster on live TV.
Due to the nature of the video, we’re not linking it here at OutKick.

A 7-foot-4 behemoth, an incredible comeback story and a certified bucket-getter are among the players fans will be hearing about over the next month.

The veteran interior defensive lineman spent the last two seasons with the Vikings.
The Browns reportedly made their first splash signing of the offseason on Monday by agreeing to terms on a deal with coveted free agent defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson.
Cleveland is expected to sign Tomlinson, who spent the last two seasons with the Vikings, to a four-year contract worth $57 million with $27.5 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The 26-year-old defensive lineman will not be able to officially sign the deal until the new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m.

What did this mean!?
Aaron Rodgers’s NFL future is still very much a mystery with everyone still waiting to see if a long-rumored trade to the Jets is actually going to happen or if he’s going to return to the Packers or if he’s going to retire, or if, well, who really knows with this guy. 
The 39-year-old QB broke his Twitter silence late Monday night with a very short tweet that had eight letters, two emojis, and very little clarity.
This tweet had the NFL world diving into some theories about a possible hidden meaning.

Disgraced former Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer is pursuing his next opportunity in baseball overseas.
The 2020 National League CY Young winner signed a deal with Yokohama DeNA BayStars in Japan, announced early Monday. Bauer’s one-year deal with the Japanese team is estimated at about $3 million, with incentives pushing the number up to $4 million, according to The Washington Post.
All eyes have been on Bauer’s next move after fighting multiple allegations of sexual assault since 2021.

Now that’s something you don’t see every day.
They say if you come to the ballpark, there’s always a chance you’ll see something new. Monday’s game between Puerto Rico and Israel in the World Baseball Classic proved that adage to be true—and provided a result that likely will never be seen in a competitive baseball game ever again.
Puerto Rico cruised to a 10–0 victory, which became historically notable by way of Israel failing to have a batter reach base.

The former Bronco has 22 sacks across four seasons.
After a down defensive year, the Seahawks are reportedly making moves to shore up their front seven.
Seattle has agreed to terms on a three-year contract with former Broncos defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones, according to a Monday evening report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Jones, 26, has played his entire four-year career with Denver, which drafted him in the third round out of Ohio State in 2019. He registered 22 sacks over four years with the Broncos, tying a career high with 6.5 in 2022.
