Florida State is in search of a new athletic director after the university fired Michael Alford on Monday, Sep. 14, four years after he was hired.
The move was made by FSU president Richard McCullough, who said the Seminoles' athletic program needs to better position itself for the future of collegiate athletics. When he spoke with the media Monday morning, McCullough gave insight into what FSU is looking for in its next athletic director.
He placed a value on business acumen and cited the need for success in revenue generation, while also being savvy enough to navigate the complexities of modern collegiate sports, particularly football.
While no move is imminent, here are a few names that make our initial FSU AD hot board.
Dickey has led the Broncos since 2021, and during his time as the program's athletic director, ***** ey has had a huge impact on revenue generation for the program. That's an area that McCullough highlighted as being important to the Seminoles next AD when speaking to the media after Alford's firing. ***** ey, named the 2025 National ***** ociation of Collegiate Directors of Athletics AD of the year, has overseen Boise State's transition from the Mountain West into the reimagined Pac-12, which would suit FSU and the university's potential interest in departing the ACC.

ATLANTA — Josh Heupel and Faizon Brandon can rely on Tennessee's defense to carry it through some rough patches — at least to a certain point.
That was apparent in the way the 18th-ranked Vols beat Georgia Tech 45-24 amid a crowd with plenty of orange at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Sept. 12.
Heupel's offense didn't have to light up the scoreboard or stat sheet to win. And Brandon, the freshman quarterback, didn't have to reel off eye-popping highlights for the Vols (2-0) to protect a lead on the road over the Yellow Jackets (0-2).
They just needed to do enough and trust in Jim Knowles, the defensive wiz that Heupel hired as coordinator in the offseason. His squad carried the Vols through some critical lulls.
Knowles' defense scored a touchdown on Dejuan Lane's pick-6. It had another red-zone stop that yielded only a field goal. Jeremiah Telander's interception prevented points before halftime. And the Vols stopped Georgia Tech's rally on fourth down at the goal line early in the fourth quarter.

DETROIT — His college career unfrozen by a judge, Orlando Lovejoy is headed to the frozen tundra.
Lovejoy, who starred for Detroit Mercy men's basketball the last two seasons, has committed to fellow Horizon League program Green Bay for his fifth and final season of eligibility.
Lovejoy was among hundreds of college athletes from the high-school class of 2022 who were granted a fifth season of eligibility through temporary restraining orders from judges across the country. The NCAA recently announced a five-year eligibility window, starting with the high-school class of 2023.
Lovejoy, 23, was one of the top point guards in the Horizon League the last two seasons, and in 2025-26, he was first-team all-league as he led the **** ans to within a whisker of the league tournament championship and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Lovejoy, a Detroit native, started all 31 games for Detroit Mercy in 2025-26, and was top 10 in the league in scoring (15.8 points), **** ists (3.7) and steals (1.6). He made free throws at an 89.2% clip.
Lovejoy spent his first two college seasons at Eastern Michigan, before transferring to Detroit Mercy after the school hired Mark Montgomery as head coach. He contemplated transferring after his first season at Detroit Mercy to capitalize on NIL opportunities, but he ultimately returned to the **** ans and led them to the Horizon League championship game, in which they led much of the game before falling to Wright State, 66-63.

Red Sox Seem to Make Franklin Arias Decision After Latest Report originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Right after Major League Baseball's trade deadline, there was a sense that the Boston Red Sox could have called up Franklin Arias. The idea of bringing up Arias would be simple: the Red Sox believed he could come in and make an impact, and if he did, they'd be a better team come playoff time.
Instead of that being the case, the Red Sox returned Trevor Story, allowing the veteran to come back and prove why he's one of the better shortstops in Major League Baseball.
Story hasn't been perfect since returning, but he's a guy who should be trusted.
As for Arias, it remains unclear what the Red Sox will do until something happens. However, according to the latest report, it doesn't look like Boston is going in that direction.

The Swedish centre-back was the unlikely goalscoring hero as Celta fought back to earn a 1-1 draw against Getafe in La Liga.
Martin Satriano had given Getafe the lead after 21 minutes, leaving Celta trailing at the interval.
But Starfelt dragged his side level in the 57th minute with an impressive finish from a corner, launching himself towards the ball and powering a diving header beyond goalkeeper David Soria.
Getafe were later reduced to ten men when Zaid Romero was shown a red card with around 20 minutes remaining, but Celta were unable to find a winner.
The result leaves the Spanish side still searching for their first league victory of the season, having recorded three draws and two defeats.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz posted his most convincing win so far, downing Tommy Paul in straight sets Sunday to reach the US Open quarter-finals, where two-time women's champion Aryna Sabalenka will meet Wimbledon winner Linda Noskova.
Second-seeded Alcaraz, playing his first tournament since he was sidelined by a right wrist injury in April, looked closer to his brilliant best in a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Paul.
The 20th-seeded American posted the sternest test yet for Alcaraz, and he passed it with flying colors.
"I played my game," said Alcaraz, who unleashed 33 winners as he moved fluidly around the court in the two-hour 20-minute match.
"I tried to play my style," he said. "Tommy is such a talented player. His shots are pretty dangerous and sometimes it's really difficult to control the ball when it comes to you.

DENVER (AP) — Cole Carrigg had two hits, including a leadoff single to spark a six-run fifth inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-7 on Saturday night.
The Rockies, who managed just a walk through the first four innings, finished with 11 hits.
Colorado starter Mason Adams, making his third start since his major league debut Aug. 25, failed to make it out of the fifth and was denied his first career win. Brennan Bernardino (4-3) got the win and Jordan Romano got the final two outs for his 15th save.
Cardinals starter Matthew Liberatore (5-14) lost his eighth straight decision and has not won in his last nine starts. He set down the first 10 batters before walking Connor Norby, then got the next two batters before Colorado broke through in the fifth.
With one out, the Rockies had three straight singles to score two, and Liberatore threw two wild pitches during Jake McCarthy's at-bat to bring home another run. McCarthy and Tovar pulled off a double steal, McCarthy scored on a single and TJ Rumfield capped the inning with an RBI double.

After an always arduous offseason, Texas A&M football is officially just one day away now, as the Aggies gear up to face Missouri State at 6 p.m. on Saturday night at Kyle Field. And no, the Bears not striking fear into the hearts of many Aggie fans. They are in just their second season as an FBS program, they're playing their first game under a new coach, they're 128th nationally in returning production, they have never beaten a P4 opponent, and the Aggies are favored by 40.5 points, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
By any measure, this is not a game Texas A&M stands to lose. The result is written before the game has even begun. Based on that, it would be easy to write this game off as not all that important, and look ahead to what lies head on the calendar. But on that point, you would be wrong. Let me count the way.
There are still things to be gleaned. Even against inferior teams, strengths and weaknesses can become apparent. Is Marcel Reed's passing crisp? Did the receivers look dynamic? Was the defensive line stuffing the run and creating consistent pressure? Did we win the turnover battle? Even if the win/loss result is a foregone conclusion, there are often aspects of a team (both good and bad) that immediately jump off the screen in game one.
Enjoy all the other trappings of a college football gameday. If you are in College Station, that may mean Midnight Yell or a tailgate (refer to our guide to Texas A&M football gameday in College Station for more details there). If you're at home, maybe it's College Gameday and prepping your favorite gameday cuisine. Either way, well all have our rituals ******* ociated with college football that extend far beyond just the game itself. Getting to do those for the first time in quite a while is a reward unto itself.
An Aggie football is good Aggie football. Ultimately we're only guaranteed 12 of these things each year, and this is the first one we've gotten in nearly nine months. No matter who the opponent, football simply being back is enough. Even the worst day spent watching Texas A&M play football is better than the best day not watching it (I reserve the right to retract this statement when we suffer our first loss). Cherish it.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers volleyball team knew their season opening pair of games against ranked opponents in Sioux Falls in the State Farm Women's College Volleyball Showcase would be tough, and sure enough it was. Then #14 Minnesota was swept 3-0 by #13 Arizona State in Friday's season opener before the Gophers returned the favor to #12 Creighton on Saturday picking up a 3-0 sweep of their own.
In their season opener against Arizona State, the Gophers knew they would still be shorthanded as they slowly worked in their four starters who all missed large chunks of the season a year ago with injuries. Two of the four in McKenna Wucherer and Zeynep Palabiyik returned to action this past weekend while Minnesota still missed middle blocker Calissa Minatee and outside hitter Alex Acevedo. The Sun Devils had opened their schedule the weekend before with an upset win over #2 Texas 3-1.
The opening set was a back and forth affair with the two teams going through 11 ties and five lead changes before ASU took the set, 26-24. Minnesota led 22-20 but the Sun Devils would run off four of the next five points to take control.
In only went downhill from there for Minnesota. ASU jumped on the Gophers in the second set and won 25-17. ASU took an 8-2 lead out of the gate and while Minnesota would make several runs to cut the lead to just three points at multiple points, ASU would run off a 6-1 run to close the set for the win.
Minnesota showed signs of life in the third set, but once again could not hold a late 20-19 lead as ASU would win 26-24. Sun Devils star Una Vajagic finished of the match with back to back kills, two of her match high 20.

Jonathan ******* inga has had an interesting trajectory in his NBA career, moving on from a chaotic stint with the Golden State Warriors last season. His agent went into detail about what the young forward declined to secure a big extension with Golden State.
Kuminga represented the Warriors for five seasons from 2021 to 2026, winning a ******* le in 2022. However, his final years with the franchise saw him be in and out of the rotation, resulting in frustration over his role. Golden State eventually traded him to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis.
Kuminga had an opportunity to obtain a three-year contract extension with Golden State for a total of $75 million. However, he declined to sign it as his agent Aaron Turner appeared on the Run It Back podcast to explain the decision.
"Money coming before basketball is not how you continue to make more and more money. … Next year is a way better free agency year for him…teams that have been trying to sign-and-trade for him, like Sacramento and Chicago, will have a lot of money," Turner said.

Chris Sale had not finished a game in seven years. He had not thrown a pitch 100 miles per hour in eight.
Thursday night, the 37-year-old Braves' lefthander did both.
Sale scattered five hits, struck out 11 and did not walk a batter as he shut out the Dodgers 1-0 at Truist Park.
The last time Sale went nine innings, he was wearing a Red Sox jersey. It was June 5, 2019 in Kansas City. Since then he had Tommy John surgery, broke a rib and won a Cy Young Award at age 35. He barely pitched for four of those years, 31 starts total from 2020 through 2023.
But Thursday night, Sale pitched like those seven years were just a bad dream.

In the aftermath of the capitulation in Linz, Callum McGregor has admitted he and his teammates deserved to exit the Champions League at the playoff stage yet again. The Celtic skipper didn't hold back on his post match ***** ysis, as he admitted that the massive collapse was down to no-one else but himself and his fellow teammates.
Speaking to Prime the Celtic skipper was brutally honest in his ***** sment as he said: "We got what we deserved. We were passive all night. We actually looked scared to go and win the game. When you are 3-0 up in the tie it's psychological."

Not much was going right for the Chicago Bears in their 27-9 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. However, one thing they were able to do well was contain the Bengals' rushing attack.
In fact, Cincinnati was held to just 64 yards on 20 attempts, an average of just 3.2 yards per attempt. Head coach Ben Johnson said the success in run defense was a combination of multiple things including the linebackers, players in the secondary being active in stopping the run and gap integrity.
"We're just trying to get out of our stance and strike blocks," Johnson said. "Our linebackers are doing a good job communicating and filling gaps, and we have our little guys that are willing tacklers. I think they're doing a good job tackling in ******* e for the most part through two games so far."
Seeing Chicago find success defending the run was promising, especially for a game where the Bears struggled so much in every other area. Last season, the Bears were one of the worst run defenses in the league, allowing an average of five yards per carry, which was the fourth-worst in the NFL.
If there is one positive takeaway from the Bears' preseason game against the Bengals, it is that Chicago has depth pieces on the defense that can help stop the run which will be important for them this season as they have to face elite running backs such as Saquon Barkley with the Philadelphia Eagles, Bijan Robinson with the Atlanta Falcons, Jahmyr Gibbs twice with the Detroit Lions and James Cook with the Buffalo Bills.

The 49-year-old denied two charges of lewd and libidinous behaviour towards a girl and a boy between 1993 and 2010.
During a trial, the High Court in Glasgow heard that Dott had exposed himself and inappropriately touched a primary school girl in the 1990s and attacked a young boy between 2006 and 2010.
Lord Harrower told Dott, who won the World Snooker Championship in 2006, he would be sentenced at a separate hearing in Edinburgh on 29 September.
Dott covered his face with his hands and shook his head while the verdict was delivered by jurors following a five-day trial.

Tennessee will open its 2026 football season versus Furman on Sept. 5. The season opener is slated for 3:30 p.m. EDT at Neyland Stadium (SEC Network+).
The Paladins will play one game before facing Tennessee. Furman will kick off its regular season with a Thursday matchup against Anderson University on Aug. 27 at Paladin Stadium in Greenville, South Carolina (7 p.m. EDT).
On Tuesday, Furman head coach Clay Hendrix named fifth-year quarterback Jake Garcia the Paladins' starter.
"Jake will be our starter in game one," Hendrix said. "He didn't get here until summer, but when we considered what he's done and the amount and quality of work he's already put in, both on the field and off the field, we believe he gives us the best chance to be successful. "He's a talented guy who can make all the throws, and he has a good understanding of what we're trying to do. He's also shown his mobility to keep plays alive. In his position he needs to be a leader of our team, which we think he is becoming when considering how the players have responded to him so far. The way he came in and went to work earned the respect of his teammates."

The 2029 class begin their sophomore seasons on the gridiron this month, and as some prospects continue to stake their claims for stars, Rivals has now released its initial top 100 rankings for the cycle. This follows the release of Rivals' 2029 watchlist back in June.
These prospects still have three full seasons of high school football left, but many have flashed early and are already on Rivals' radar. The rankings will eventually expand to a full Rivals300 after the upcoming season.
$19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage
To kick off Monday's release, Rivals is counting down the top 10 overall prospects in the initial rankings for the class of 2029, accompanied with updated scouting summaries from Rivals National Scout Cody Bellaire:
School: Battle Ground Academy (Tenn.)
Scout's Take: "Maddox Porter is a large-bodied, highly productive pass catching mismatch who wins with his length and ability to consistently win contested catches. The nearly 6-foot-3, 185 pound wide receiver does an excellent job of manipulating his body in order to high point the football and box out defenders in order to reel in tough grabs. In his freshman season, Porter reeled in 78 passes for over 1,500 yards and a ridiculous 27 touchdowns. His body control and explosive ability makes him such a tough cover in the red zone and intermediate levels of the field. Porter's 10.5-inch hands allow him to pluck the football away from his frame and rip the football out of the air with impressive strength. He's a loose athlete with impressive fluidity for his size and will continue to get more explosive as he physically develops."
