PITTSBURGH — The job Jeff Capel was hired to do felt impossible at the time: resurrecting Pitt men's basketball from the dead and restoring relevance to a program that had fallen on some seriously hard times, the nadir an 0-18 mark in ACC play in 2017-18. What Capel has done over the past si…
DALLAS — A member of the Georgia Bulldogs’ football staff was betting on sports in 2020. The Bulldogs did not discover and process the NCAA violation until 2023, and the school did not report it on its annual compliance summary until it was updated this week. UGA did not identify the individual involved but told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that person is no longer employed at the ...
The popular Nebraska football statue featuring Brook Berringer and Tom Osborne has a new home at Memorial Stadium.
The party commenced on the first day of July, the official start of what ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips called a “momentous occasion,” and it lasted into the night, with the Dallas skyline lit up in school colors to honor the conference’s newest member. Southern Methodist University, the private school in the heart of Texas, was now a part of a league born in North Carolina, and it called for a ...
DALLAS — Quinn Ewers made his debut Wednesday at SEC Media Days looking like he’d left his horse hitched in front of the Omni. Boots, hat, longhorn belt buckle. As fashion statements go, it beat his famous mullet. Give him that. But Steve Sarkisian seemed to like it, and not because he’s big on cowboy themes. He liked the swagger to pull it off. The swagger is different. Swagger is good. Case ...
SEATTLE — In September, a social-media account called "Is EA Sports College Football Out" began periodically posting one word: "No." Days passed, and the "Nos" piled up. No. No. No. No. No. But for dedicated college football fans, the wait was even longer. Before this week, Electronic Arts' most recent college football video game — "NCAA Football 14" — had been released on July 9, 2013. The ...
DALLAS — The Texas name carries, and the energy surrounding the storied program is as bold as the burnt orange blazer Steve Sarkisian wore on Wednesday at SEC Media Days. Despite being one of two newcomers to the Southeastern Conference this season, the Longhorns seemed like the most popular draw of the four-day media event at the Omni Hotel in Dallas. Dozens of cameras seemed to magically ...
DALLAS — As Nick Saban sat behind the broadcast desk at SEC Media Days on Wednesday, he attentively watched his successor Kalen DeBoer share his goals for the Alabama football program with reporters. Saban retired from coaching in January after winning six national championships in 17 seasons with Alabama and another with LSU in 2003. Alabama made the College Football Playoff last season, ...

ATLANTA — Leave no doubt – Kirby Smart is a brilliant coach. The numbers – back-to-back national championships, seven consecutive New Year’s Six bowl games – speak for themselves. His players train and compete hard and are tough, and dozens of them make it to the NFL. (The graduation rates do leave something to be desired, however.) Listening to him speak, the care he has for his players and ...
With all due respect to its oldest and most cutthroat rival, Oklahoma, not Texas, brings the more sterling football credentials to the Southeastern Conference. The Sooners have won seven national titles; the Longhorns four. Oklahoma has 50 conference championships to UT’s 33, including 14 compared to the Longhorns’ four during the schools’ 29 seasons together in the Big 12. It’s little wonder, ...
DALLAS — Like most around the football world, Missouri head coach Eliah Drinkwitz would like to see the late Mike Leach inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

DALLAS — Greg Sankey opened SEC Football Media Days with his new go-to phrase: “We’re going from 14 deep to 16 strong.” Then the SEC commissioner added a caveat. “Sixteen is our today and 16 is our tomorrow.” Later, one reporter had a good follow-up question on that. “I just wanted to clarify: ‘Tomorrow,’ does that simply just mean tomorrow, or is that a long-term future tomorrow?” Clearly, ...

SEATTLE — On Dec. 1, delirious Dawgs danced inside Allegiant Stadium. Purple confetti fell from the big barn's roof, blanketing the Pac-12 logo at midfield. Conference commissioner George Kliavkoff (remember him?) congratulated Washington athletic director Troy Dannen (remember him?) and coach Kalen DeBoer (remember him?). The field was littered with Husky legends Dante Pettis and Will Dissly ...
After a run to the United States Hockey League Clark Cup semifinals, members of the Sioux City Musketeers were among some of the most sought-after commodities for pro teams as they scout the next wave of NHL talent.
DALLAS — The spring of 1989 brought the first bloom of rumors that Texas was interested in the SEC and vice versa. An apoplectic Fred Jacoby, the Southwest Conference commissioner, called it “crazy.” Why, the SEC was already bursting at the seams with 10 teams! Poaching not just Texas but Texas A&M and Arkansas, as reported, would give it enough inventory for two conferences! Turns out the ...
Colorado State football coach Jay Norvell isn’t happy that other teams tried to convince some of his best players to enter the transfer portal after the conclusion of the 2023 season. He is so angry about it, in fact, that he accused three teams of tampering while he spoke to reporters at Mountain West Media Days earlier this week in Las Vegas. One of them was Kansas State, which he said ...
