Jim Leonhard might not be in a rush to take a new coaching job.
The former Wisconsin DC and interim head coach left the program following the bowl game after the Badgers hired Luke Fickell to take over as head coach.
His exit agreement with the program was made public Tuesday, and it’s pretty interesting.

Jim Leonhard will earn $1 million to not coach.

We’ve made it, kids! It’s car launch season for Formula 1! First on the list — *checks list* — is Haas.
So let’s see what Formula 1’s only American team has in store for us. Let’s see if their 2023 car has any tech innovations that will change the game this season…
What’s that?… It’s just a livery?… On a virtual car from last year?… Oh…
Well, let’s see what Haas’ VF-23 will look like… on a virtual version of the VF-22.

Plus, notes on Keyonte George, Dillon Mitchell and more noteworthy prospects making waves.
I spent the last few days on the scouting trail, catching Saturday’s high-profile nonconference game between Arkansas and Baylor and sticking around for Monday’s tilt between Baylor and Texas. It’s a busy scouting week for me, packing in a stretch of seven games in eight days, but by this time next week I will have seen pretty much every noteworthy prospect in action over the past few months of the season.
Here’s the latest on what I’m seeing and hearing on the road.

The Wildcats are aiming to make the men’s NCAA tournament for just the second time in program history.
Northwestern, picked second to last in the men’s Big Ten preseason poll, sits alone in second place in the conference as January winds down.
At 6–3 in league play and 15–5 overall, the Wildcats have been one of the biggest surprise teams not just in the Big Ten, but in all of college basketball. They’ve won at Michigan State and Indiana, beat in-state rival Illinois and have built a résumé with four Quadrant 1 wins, tied for third most in the Big Ten.

This past weekend’s WWE Royal Rumble brought in a powerbomb of impressive figures for the wrestling company.
According to Variety, the annual pay-per-view had its highest viewership and attendance figures ever. Over $7.7 million was made at the gate at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday night. That is significantly up from the previous record set back at the 2017 Rumble which was $4.9 million.
Viewership was up 52% from the previous Rumble record from 2022, while merchandise sales rose 135% from last year’s record as well, according to the WWE.

Russell Westbrook denied a young kid an autograph, but it might not have been as simple as it appeared.
In a video shared by TikTok user @jaiglezvideos, the Los Angeles Lakers guard was asked by a young kid to autograph a jersey while outside a New York City hotel ahead of a game against the Knicks.
Despite clearly seeing the kid, Westbrook just walked right past him into the hotel.

Paul signed a new deal but won’t be entering the Octagon – at least not yet.

Logan Paul is partnering with the UFC.
But he is not stepping in the Octagon – at least not yet.
Paul generated millions of views on social media Monday when he teased a UFC-related announcement. Technically, he did tell the truth: Paul signed a deal that makes Prime—the beverage company he founded—the new hydration drink for the UFC.

A master of marketing, Paul needs to be careful how often he promises major announcements.

It’s easy to look past just how much Brees went through
We know Drew Brees because he’s famous for being very very good at football. His numbers are gaudy (80,358 career passing yards; 571 career TD passes), he’s been to the Pro Bowl a baker’s dozen times and was Super Bowl MVP in 2010.
So, since we know all that, it’s not what we cover in this video. This video displays Drew Brees’ path to success.
