Brandi Glanville's health battle sparked an unexpected Bravo reunion, with Housewives stepping up financially. Several former co-stars donated to her GoFundMe after years of unexplained medical problems.
The fundraiser aimed to cover treatment costs linked to multiple diagnoses affecting Glanville. She admitted asking for help felt humiliating, but her medical expenses had pushed her toward crowdfunding.
TMZ reported that Glanville's GoFundMe had raised about $7,000 toward its $28,000 goal. Kyle Richards contributed $500, while Claudia Jordan and longtime friend James Maas each donated $100. Camille Grammer, who starred alongside Glanville on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, gave $200. She also explained why she decided to contribute despite their complicated history.
"I remember when she sent me flowers when I had my hysterectomy for uterine cancer," Grammer told TMZ. "I wanted to return the favor, and I feel bad for what she's going through." The pair had clashed during Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco. Grammer acknowledged they were not particularly close, yet she still wanted to help.
Gina Rodriguez, another longtime friend, created the fundraiser earlier that week. She said doctors had discovered a fungal ball in Glanville's face that required removal. Glanville later discussed the fundraiser through her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast. She broke down while describing the financial pressure surrounding her treatment.

All six board members from the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority have voted to rename Nashville International Airport after Dolly Parton. The unanimous decision is the first step in the rebranding process, which will continue to unfold in the coming months, the MNAA said.
"While a final name has not yet been determined, we are working closely with the appropriate parties to thoughtfully determine how Dolly Parton's name and legacy will be incorporated," the MNAA said in a statement. "This vote represents the first step in a multifaceted process. In the coming months, we anticipate having more definitive plans to share regarding the next steps and implementation."

Buc-ee's has won another legal battle to protect its famous beaver mascot.
A federal judge has ordered South Carolina clothing retailer Born United to pay more than $850,000 after the company admitted to infringing on Buc-ee's trademark, according to the Greenville News, part of the USA TODAY Network. The judgment permanently prohibits Born United from using Buc-ee's beaver logo or any mark considered "confusingly similar."
The order also requires Born United to destroy merchandise bearing the disputed logo, remove advertisements featuring it and could require the company to pay Buc-ee's attorney fees if it violates the terms of the judgment.
The ruling is the latest victory for the Texas-based travel center chain, which has aggressively defended its trademarks as it expands across the United States. Buc-ee's has filed a number of lawsuits in recent years against businesses it says copied elements of its branding, including its recognizable smiling beaver mascot.

Manchester United have announced a multi-million pound, multi-year shirt sleeve sponsorship deal with British financial technology company SumUp.
United had been without a sleeve sponsor since the four-year partnership with DXC Technology came to an end in the summer.
The SumUp branding will be seen for the first time on Thursday, when United return to the Champions League with an Old Trafford encounter with Azerbaijan champions Sabah. It will be worn by the club's men's, women's and academy teams across all competitions.
United also say they will launch a "co-branded payment card" with SumUp, "which will offer fans special offers and rewards when used with official club outlets, as well as businesses across the UK".
The club's chief business officer Marc Armstrong said: "SumUp is a rapidly growing global business and we are delighted to welcome them to Manchester United as our official sleeve partner.

Liverpool have agreed a new five-year, £300m shirt sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines for the start of next season.
The agreement, which the club believes is the most valuable in Premier League history, ends a 17-year front-of-the-shirt partnership with British multinational bank Standard Chartered.
Reports indicate the deal, which will come into effect on 1 June 2027, is worth more than £60m a season, believed to be a similar sum to Man Utd's current deal with Snapdragon.
Turkish Airlines branding will be on the front of Liverpool men's, women's and academy match shirts. Prior to Standard Chartered, front-of-the-shirt sponsors for Liverpool included Carlsberg, Candy and Crown Paints.
"The front of the Liverpool shirt holds a special place in the history of our club," Ben Latty, Liverpool's chief commercial officer, said.

Passengers have welcomed the return of publicly owned bus services to Merseyside for the first time since the 1980s.
The first services launched in St Helens on Sunday 6 September and will expand to the Wirral later this year. Full roll-out across the city region is expected by 2027.
Liverpool City Region secured £86.3m in government funding to help roll out the scheme. The Department for Transport said it would give local leaders greater control over routes, branding and fares, while helping improve services for passengers.

Michael Atherton has questioned the authority of Babar Azam and the role Pakistan's captains are allowed to play after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) made sweeping changes to the Test squad midway through the England series.

Pakistan suffered defeats in the opening two Tests and responded by sending seven players home. Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha and Imam-ul-Haq were among those removed from the squad, while coaches Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul were also asked to leave.

Mike Hesson will now take charge of the team for the third and final Test at Edgbaston, beginning on September 9.

The scale of the changes has placed Babar under increasing scrutiny. Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif had already argued that Babar should have resigned after the seven players were sent home, while also branding him a "dummy captain".

Atherton has now questioned whether Babar, or indeed any Pakistan captain, has enough influence within the setup to lead effectively following such a major intervention from the board.

The former England captain believes the changes could have lasting consequences for Pakistan, regardless of what happens in the final Test.

"Not in this instance, no, because of the damage it will do in the long term. This is no way to manage players and no way to build a long-term vision at all," Atherton said on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast.

"I feel it's a horrible position for a captain, Babar Azam, to be in - and what kind of authority does he or indeed any captain of Pakistan have in this outfit?" he added.
Atherton suggested that the events of the England tour could make it extremely difficult for Babar to establish authority over the Pakistan dressing room.

He acknowledged that modern-day captains do not have the same control they once enjoyed, but insisted that a captain still needs to have a meaningful say in the team's affairs.

"One understands that the captain is not all-powerful these days, you're not going back 30 years ago when they perhaps ran the show, but they have to have some authority within a team," said Atherton.

The former England captain then raised a question over how Babar can move forward after the PCB's intervention.

"Given what's happened, how do you lead that team now?" he added.
Babar reclaimed Pakistan's Test captaincy from Shan Masood earlier this year after Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in their two-match series.

His side subsequently drew the series against the West Indies before travelling to England.

The 31-year-old missed the first Test against England because of an injury, but returned for the second match at Lord's.

His comeback, however, did little to ease Pakistan's batting problems. Babar scored only 8 and 6 as Pakistan suffered another heavy defeat.

England won the Lord's Test by 194 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

With seven players removed and the coaching staff reshuffled, Babar now faces the challenge of leading a

Caroline Manzo isn't holding any ill will toward Brandi Glanville.
As In Touch previously reported, Manzo, 65, filed a lawsuit against Bravo, NBCUniversal, Peacock and Shed Media over an alleged ****** ault by Glanville, 53, while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco in January 2023.
Manzo claimed the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star got handsy, and "forcibly" kissed and groped her during a booze-fueled incident in Morocco amid production of RHUGT, halting filming and ultimately leading to the network scrapping the entire season.
Now, more than three years later, Manzo is opening up about her feelings toward Glanville and her hopes for the future as the lawsuit remains in litigation.
"I have no malice towards Brandi; I really don't. I like Brandi," the Real Housewives of New Jersey alum said during a recent appearance on the Legally Goff podcast.

"So that's who's going to be the Buffalo Bills punt returner this season," the thoughts of many fans after the report and subsequent team announcement of the Greg Dortch signing on Monday.
With 99 career punt returns in the NFL, which includes a hefty 11.6 yards-per-return average in 2025, Dortch's presence on the Bills (practice squad) roster does in fact mean Buffalo now has an experienced punt returner.
And for as much as this signing feels like a savvy move born from special-teams desperation, I'm sneaky into Dortch as a supplemental receiving weapon within the Bills offense this season.
The first move of the Joe Brady era was trading for D.J. Moore. Clearly, the new regime deemed it most vital to upgrade a receiver room that, frankly, was one of the least dynamic in football last year. Couple the original relative lack of premier talent with an unusually high amount of injuries… and the Bills were forced to lean on Tyrell Shavers, Gabe Davis, Mecole Hardman, and Brandin Cooks, the latter two signed in November, down the stretch. And it just so happened that Josh Allen's final two targeted throws of Buffalo's 2025 season were to Hardman and Cooks, neither of which were completed, of course.
Because Moore and fourth-round pick Skyler Bell were the only two receivers of genuine importance added to the Bills receiver contingent this offseason… heck yeah I'm intrigued by the possibilities of a newly signed veteran wideout with 145 career catches on his NFL resume to date.

Brandi Glanville has spent years speaking openly about her complicated history with Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes. Now, the RHOBH alum has revealed an unexpected change in how she feels about both of them.
Brandi Glanville made the admission during the Aug. 27 episode of her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast. While discussing friendships, she explained how her relationship with LeAnn Rimes has changed over time. "I like LeAnn more than I like Eddie," Glanville said. However, she admitted that both Rimes and Eddie Cibrian can still annoy her.
Even so, Glanville believes the two women now genuinely like each other. In fact, she thinks their bond has surpassed either woman's relationship with Cibrian. "I feel like we both like each other more than we like Eddie," Glanville said. She added that reaching this point "took 10 years."
Their calmer relationship marks a dramatic change from the past. The Eddie Cibrian affair with Rimes became public while he was married to Glanville. Rimes and Cibrian later married in 2011.
For years, the fallout fueled tension between the women. However, their relationship gradually changed as they focused on family. By 2021, Glanville said she and Rimes had become "like sister wives". The former RHOBH star shares sons Mason and Jake with Cibrian.

LSI Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:LYTS) reported fiscal fourth-quarter net sales of $234.6 million, up 51% year over year. Company-defined adjusted diluted earnings reached $0.38 per share, compared with $0.34 a year earlier. The adjusted measure excludes acquisition costs, acquired-intangible amortization, long-term performance compensation, lease step-up costs and restructuring or severance costs. Shares closed lower following the results.
The headline growth reflected Royston's first full-quarter contribution. Royston generated $66.9 million of revenue, accounting for roughly 84% of LSI Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:LYTS)'s $79.6 million year-over-year sales increase. Excluding acquisitions, company-defined organic sales rose 8% to $167.7 million. The central question is whether Royston is creating durable per-share value or simply making the company larger.
Display Solutions sales at LSI Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:LYTS) nearly doubled to $164.2 million, including company-defined organic growth of 18%. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 180 basis points to 12.4%. Grocery sales increased 21%, while refueling and convenience-store sales rose 16%.
Royston adds store fixtures, signage and refrigerated displays to LSI Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:LYTS)'s lighting and retail-branding portfolio. That broader offering helped the company win an approximately $30 million program to renovate roughly 2,500 sites for a large oil company. The award was excluded from the quarter's approximately 1.0-times Display Solutions book-to-bill because customer releases and timing were still being finalized.
Full-year revenue reached a record $689.4 million, up 20%. Company-defined adjusted EBITDA rose 27% to $69.7 million, while its margin increased 50 basis points to 10.1%. Company-defined free cash flow, calculated as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, increased 13% to $39.0 million. Continued cash generation could support debt reduction.

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin had a solid rookie season where he showed his ability to shoot the three-pointer better than anyone, except the Nets' coaching staff, anticipated coming into last year. Since then, Brooklyn has been hoping to see more from Demin besides his long-range shooting and he looked like he was ready to do that in the summer league, but some around the league are waiting to see it during the regular season.
HoopsHype put out its list of the projected top-27 shooting guards for the upcoming 2026-27 season and Demin did not make the list or the three players that missed the cut, putting him outside the top-30. For context, the three players that just missed the cut for HoopsHype were Shaedon Sharpe of the Portland Trail Blazers, Aaron Wiggins of the Atlanta Hawks, and Brandin Podziemski of the Golden State Warriors.
Demin, 20, is coming off an impressive showing during Brooklyn's summer circuit as he showed his ability to impact the game outside of his shooting ability, which was subpar compared to how he shot the ball last season. In five games played between the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer League, Demin averaged 21.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 ****** ists, and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 47.3% from the field and 28.9% from behind the three-point line.
As of this writing, HoopsHype has put out its top-27 projected lists for the point guard and shooting guard spots heading into next season and thus far, Brooklyn's projected starting guards have not made the top-30. Demin seems to be set as the shooting guard while Mikel Brown Jr. will likely be the starting point guard ****** uming that he plays well in camp and the preseason.
With the Nets expected to be one of the worst teams in the league next season, it makes sense to see many around the league doubt how many of the players can step up to beat the odds in an improved Easter Conference. However, it's important to note that this list is a projection so Demin has every chance to come into camp and be the best version of himself that hopefully places him in the top-27 by the time next season is over.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle landed in the UK to reports of new neighbors branding them a "disgrace". The news comes as the Sussexes made their alleged return to Britain on Wednesday after six years away. However, the couple will continue as private citizens and will not be resuming official duties as working royals.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's move to the UK is already stirring up reactions among some of their potential new neighbours. According to several reports, the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex will put down roots in the beautiful Cotswolds. However, not everyone in the charming countryside community seems delighted at the idea of the royal pair moving in next door.
Several locals reportedly voiced their annoyance to the Daily Expresso after a reporter headed to the area to sound out reactions to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's UK return. Discussing it on the podcast on Wednesday, August 26, host JJ Anisiobi revealed that some residents were "already furious."
He said, "A woman in a coffee shop, who lives in the local area, says: 'They should be banned. They are a disgrace. I think Meghan is an awful, dreadful woman. It can't be easy being in the royal family- they've got their faults as well, but they're two-faced in screaming about privacy.'"
Anisiobi shared that another local felt that the Duke had damaged his relationships beyond repair. A different resident voiced a separate worry about how the Sussexes' presence might affect the area's well-known tranquillity.

Martha Stewart was accused of playing dirty in her simmering feud with Meghan Markle over lifestyle branding. The domestic lifestyle mogul recently questioned the ****** ss of Sussex's move from actress to royal to homemaking host. One insider claimed Stewart attacks when she feels "threatened." The report framed the clash around As Ever, "With Love, Meghan," and Stewart's long-held place as America's best-known lifestyle queen.
As per a RadarOnline report, Martha Stewart discussed Meghan Markle's royal visit. Stewart said they were both at a dinner party in California. She added that Meghan had "just gotten back from the palace." Stewart said she only exchanged "a couple words" with the ****** ss. However, she claimed, "I know she was talking about it."
Meanwhile, Stewart also questioned Meghan's lifestyle career pivot. The "Martha Stewart Living" founder said it was difficult to move from acting to royalty. She then added it was harder to become "a homemaking guru on a television show." The report connected the comment to Meghan's Netflix series "With Love, Meghan." It also framed the criticism around her wider lifestyle push.
However, an insider claimed Stewart's remarks were calculated. The source said, "No one thinks it's an accident." They added that Stewart made Meghan Markle look bad while getting "a load of attention." According to the source, Martha Stewart disliked "other people coming into the lifestyle ****** e." The insider added, "When she feels at all threatened, she goes on the attack."
Still, the same source said Meghan did not plan a public war. The insider claimed the former "Suits" actress was "fuming" over the comments. Instead, she reportedly wanted to hit Stewart through market competition. The source said Meghan planned to take "some of her market share." They added that Stewart's "nasty comments" proved she was "running scared." For Martha Stewart and Meghan Markle, the report framed the feud as a fight over lifestyle authority, not just one interview jab.

ATLANTA (AP) — Golf Channel postponed Tuesday night's scheduled premiere of the reality show "Big Break x Good Good" by one week because one of the sponsors wanted out, as pressure increased on popular content creator Good Good Golf for its video that showed a man shoving a woman to the ground as she reached for a new Callaway driver.
Golf Channel said postponing the show to Sept. 1 "will allow for necessary production updates following a request from one of the show's sponsors to remove its branding from the series."
Although Golf Channel did not identify the sponsor, multiple reports said it was retailer Golf Galaxy, which had been listed as a presenting sponsor of the show.
The video — an ad for the Callaway driver — was deleted by Good Good late Friday, a day after it first was posted and immediately drew negative reaction for portraying violence against women. The characters in the ad are both with Good Good.
Good Good apologized Saturday in a statement, saying the "depicted actions are not aligned with our values." Callaway said it was disappointed by the video and "appreciative of Good Good addressing this."

A birthday gift for a young Max Verstappen fan took an unexpected but funny turn at Circuit Zandvoort when the shirt pulled from a green plastic bag turned out to be bright red and covered in Ferrari branding.
Formula 1 had its Dutch Grand Prix fan forum on on the Friday ahead of the sprint weekend, featuring Verstappen and his temporary team-mate Liam Lawson. Both drivers shone in their team colors; blue Oracle Red Bull Racing jackets with Ford Racing branding. It's the outfit's first season with power units built in partnership with Ford. And it's been mildly successful. Although not quite as successful as Ferrari who have been enjoying being the 'best of the rest' team.
The host tells the crowd the child is celebrating his birthday and has brought a shirt for Verstappen to sign. She offers Max a pen, at which point he spots the problem.
"Max Verstappen fan? He's got a Ferrari shirt!" Verstappen laughs.
The host looks playfully mortified. "There is no way that he's a Max fan! Come on! I should've checked, sorry."

Deion Sanders was recently deposed as part of a federal lawsuit accusing the Colorado football coach of defrauding the graphic designer who created his "Prime" logo.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Nebraska, Omaha–based graphic designer Alan Tipp alleges that Sanders and his representatives fraudulently induced him into signing away his rights to a pair of logos he first created for the Hall of Fame cornerback in 2011. The two logos—stylized text of the words "Prime" and "Truth"—have since become staples of Sanders's branding during his tenures as the head coach at Jackson State and Colorado.
According to the complaint, Sanders began using the logos around the same time he co-founded Prime Prep Academy in 2011. The design has also appeared in a wide range of commercial partnerships tied to Sanders, the lawsuit says, including Under Armour, Gillette, Jeep, Lamborghini, Aflac, Boost Mobile, and Motorola.
While Tipp initially filed the lawsuit in January 2025, the case's docket was updated on July 30, 2026, to reflect that Sanders was scheduled to be deposed. Front Office Sports has since confirmed that deposition has already taken place. Sanders, merchandise company Prime Time Enterprises, and talent/brand management firm SMAC Entertainment are all listed as defendants in the suit.
Tipp alleges he was approached by Sanders's brand manager and a SMAC Entertainment representative, Sam Morini, shortly after Colorado hired the former Cowboys star in December 2022. According to the claim, Morini sought to have Tipp sign all past, present, and future rights to the logos over to Sanders, who had just been hired by Colorado.

Hailey Bieber walking into West Hollywood's Sushi Park wearing the unreleased earbuds.
Hailey Bieber has been photographed twice in recent days wearing a pair of wired earbuds from SKYLRK Audio, the forthcoming tech arm of her husband Justin Bieber's lifestyle brand. The sightings, captured mid-August 2026 and quickly circulated by fan accounts tracking the label, mark one of the clearest public signals yet that SKYLRK is moving beyond apparel and accessories into consumer electronics.
The first set of images appeared around August 18–19. A second wave of photos followed shortly after, showing Bieber walking one elevator flight from the valet garage and about 200 feet into West Hollywood's Sushi Park, again in the distinctive wired pair. The very short paparazzi-laden walkway makes the audio equipment a very deliberate fashion accessory and marketing tool versus a need for headphones. Fan account SkylrkDaily, which closely follows the brand on X, described them as "Exclusive Skylrk audio Wired Earbuds," underscoring that the product has not yet been formally released to the public.
SKYLRK launched in 2025 as Justin Bieber's independent fashion and lifestyle label, distinct from his earlier Drew House project. The brand quickly established a visual language of oversized loungewear, sculptural slides, leather outerwear, and monochrome-to-bold color stories. Hailey Bieber has been closely involved almost from the start—modeling campaigns, collaborating on capsules (including a February 2026 collection), and contributing design input on pieces such as leather jackets.
In early June 2026, Justin Bieber posted Instagram images teasing SKYLRK Audio. The prototypes included dome-shaped portable speakers in vibrant finishes (copper, olive, lilac, teal), over-ear headphones, and what appeared to be wired earbuds. The aesthetic leaned retro-futurist and Y2K-inflected—perforated surfaces, saturated colorways, and graphic branding—positioning the line as both functional hardware and wearable design objects. No technical specifications, pricing, or firm release date were announced at the time. Coverage from outlets including Hypebeast and SoundGuys framed the move as an expansion of SKYLRK from pure fashion into a broader lifestyle ecosystem that merges streetwear sensibility with everyday tech.

The Golden State Warriors finally moved on from Jonathan **** inga at last February's trade deadline, sending him and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis. Unfortunately for the Warriors, Porzingis wasn't very healthy during his first season with the team. However, in 15 appearances, he did average 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 **** ists, 1.1 blocks and 0.6 steals. This summer, the Latvian big man agreed to a two-year extension to remain in the Bay Area.
With Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody injured to begin the 2026-27 season, Golden State fans will be hopeful for Porzingis to step up as a secondary scorer along with Brandin Podziemski and recent No. 11 overall pick Yaxel Lendeborg. Having averaged 18 points per game or more in eight of his 10 NBA seasons, Porzingis is a more than capable scorer when healthy.
Prior to his first full season with the Warriors, take a look at his highlights from last year.

Progressive Insurance announced Tuesday that Colorado is one of 13 programs included in a new college football sponsorship agreement that will place the company's branding on the field. The deal, arranged through Learfield, will also include video board features, LED signage, digital content and other game-day activations.
Colorado joins Boise State, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Purdue, SMU, Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC and Wake Forest in the agreement. Progressive's on-field placement will vary by school, with logos expected near sidelines or at the 25- or 50-yard lines. Financial terms were not released, but Sports Business Journal reported the arrangement is expected to be a multiyear deal.
The logo will debut during the 2026 season, giving Colorado another corporate presence at Folsom Field as the athletic department continues to pursue new revenue. That has been a priority for athletic director Fernando Lovo, who has discussed expanding sponsorship opportunities as college sports move deeper into revenue sharing and NIL-driven roster building.
"We are excited to be a part of the college football landscape with this investment," Progressive media business leader Sean Freeman said in a release. "It is an opportunity to support the collegiate student-athletes at these storied institutions."
For Colorado, the agreement is less about a logo on the turf than the money behind it. The Buffs are competing in an era when every additional revenue source can affect facilities, staffing and athlete resources.

The Oregon Ducks are about to see how much they can save, or earn, with Progressive Insurance.
On Tuesday, Progressive announced a partnership with 13 programs around the country to add on-field logos, starting this season. Oregon is one of the programs that will have logos on the field inside Autzen Stadium. The deal is set to begin this season.
Boise State, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Purdue, SMU, Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC and Wake Forest will also have logos on their fields this season. The move will help inject more funding into athletic departments to support the changing economic landscape of the sport. No financial details about the agreement were disclosed.
Oregon has one of the most expensive rosters in the country in terms of NIL money. Many programs and conferences around the country are seeking corporate sponsorships to help with funding in the future to build competitive rosters.
For the fans, the partnership won't change the experience of watching the Ducks play on Saturdays. Yes, there will be logos on the field and more branding on the LED screens. However, it's a sign of how large Oregon's brand has become, as Progressive targets some of the biggest programs in the country for more national recognition.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue football's next foray into expanding corporate sponsorships opportunities will begin on Rohrman Field this fall.
Progressive on Tuesday announced a new partnership with 13 programs, including Purdue, through Learfield. The Progressive logo will now be featured on the Ross-Ade Stadium playing field.
The sponsorship will include on-field branding inside Ross-Ade Stadium, per a news release, as well as videoboard features, LED signage, digital and social media integrations and other experiences throughout the game.
Financial terms and duration of the agreement were not disclosed. By securing the deals through Learfield, its marketing and branding partner, Purdue and other schools have also traditionally shielded the financial terms of such deals from public records disclosures.

Brandin Podziemski of the Golden State Warriors remains a polarizing NBA player through the first three seasons of his career. Whether it was his comments about wanting to be better than Warriors teammate and future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry, finally hitting 30-points in a game, or his looming contract extension, a lot can be said about the 23-year-old guard for Golden State.
But despite Podziemski showing flashes at times last season when Curry was out with injury, his status with the Warriors is by no means set in stone. Yes, he has proved valuable and was one of only a few players to suit up in all 82 games last season, but amid contract talks and the Warriors' offseason moves, his role and future with the franchise remain up in the air going forward.
Podziemski reportedly wants $22-$24 million per year in his next contract, and despite being eligible to sign a new deal, Golden State's front office has yet to decide on his fate with the franchise.
