Supporters and donors Todd and Michelle Hein were honored at the Indiana State University Athletic Department's sixth annual Tried and True Gala on Friday night.
The couple received the Max and Jackie Gibson Award, given to supporters making a significant impact on Sycamore athletics via service or philanthropic giving.
More than 200 people attended the event at Hulman Center. Among the guest speakers was former ISU basketball standout Jayson Kent, now in the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers system.
The Heins were lauded also by ISU President Mike Godard and Athletic Director Nathan Christensen, family, friends and community members.
"Todd and Michelle have never treated Indiana State as an institution they simply support from a distance, but they have taken an active, personal role in our success," Godard said, according to an ISU news release. "Their financial generosity has been significant, but their greatest impact is found in relationships. They have invested not merely in an athletics department, but in people."

New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reportedly split from ex-fiancé Riley Roberts before deciding to freeze her eggs.
Leigh Ann Caldwell, Puck's Chief Washington Correspondent, reported on Tuesday, August 11, that Ocasio-Cortez, 36, and Roberts called it quits, though the timeline remains unclear.
"I was told by a reputable Democratic source about 18 months ago that her engagement was called off," Caldwell shared via X. "AOC stopped wearing her engagement ring several months before that."
TMZ also reported the former couple had gone their separate ways, pointing to Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts last being photographed at the Met Gala in 2021.
However, one user on X pointed out that Manhattan's Black Iron Burger shared a photo of Ocasio-Cortez with an unidentified man in May. Meanwhile, another suggested she and Roberts were recently seen walking together — although the subjects in the photo cannot be identified as it only shows the back of their heads.

Law Roach debuted a 53-carat diamond ring on his left ring finger at the 2026 Met Gala.
He revealed it was "a gift" from a mystery man, fueling engagement speculation.
An InStyle editor consulted ring experts at LEVIEV to learn more about the showstopping sparkler.
With Zendaya's The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tours, along with Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine tour, keeping him busy this summer, Law Roach has no shortage of headline-making projects. But lately, it's not just the celebrity stylist's work that's generating buzz—it's the dazzling diamond on this left ring finger.
Roach first sparked engagement speculation when he stepped onto the 2026 Met Gala red carpet wearing a 53-carat diamond on that finger. Speaking with Vogue livestream hosts Ashley Graham and Cara Delevingne, he revealed only that the ring was "a gift" from a mystery man in his life, declining to confirm whether it was, in fact, an engagement ring.

There was a time when maternity dressing on the red carpet meant strategic cuts, conservative silhouettes and muted palettes designed to hide a baby ******* p rather than highlight it. Today, more women than ever are embracing, accentuating or baring them entirely (kudos to Kate Hudson, who was one of the first to do it in a Chanel two-piece back in the 00s). Pregnancy dressing has transformed from tricky to a major fashion statement.
From the arcades of Cannes to the steps of the Met Gala, there's no rulebook. Dressing a ******* p has evolved into everything from deconstructed menswear to sheer fabrics and sculptural couture. Here, I take a look at 16 times celebrities aged 35 and over redefined pregnancy on the world's most-watched red carpets, from the most recent to the women who wore it first.
Anne Hathaway, 43, turned heads at the premiere of her new movie The End of Oak Street in California on Sunday as she bared her baby ******* p in a statement floor-sweeping top by Prabel Gurungand low-rise relaxed fit jeans. The actress was glowing, and completed the look with her hair slicked back and a chic matte red lip.
Trust Sienna Miller to turn a ******* p reveal into couture. At 41, the British style icon traded more traditional pregnancy dressing for this incredible, cloud-like Schiaparelli creation at Vogue World in 2023. She was pregnant with her second child - her first with fiancé Oli Green.
The actress nailed it once again on the Fashion Awards red carpet in 2025. She announced her third pregnancy to the world in this incredible white sheer gown by Givenchy, which featured a sculpted sweetheart neckline.

Burhan Can Terzi found himself in hot water with Turkish law enforcement after reporting that Jamal Musiala would be joining Galatasaray.
The job of a football journalist can be somewhat difficult, especially during the transfer window. With teams and players trying to move in absolute silence, reporters try to shine a light on their operations.
In trying to uncover the truth, things can go wrong for reporters, and they can get inaccurate information. But now, some reporters have to worry about legal action if they get things wrong.

According to reporting from Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Turkish reporter Burhan Can Terzi was detained by the police for spreading misinformation.

Antonio Banderas rang in his 66th birthday in style, under the sky of Marbella with an opera legend leading the chorus. That was the scene at the 17th annual Starlite Occident Gala, where Banderas rang in his 66th year with his partner, Nicole Kimpel. He was serenaded at midnight by Plácido Domingo himself.

The tenor rose before a crowd already on its feet and led the room through "Happy Birthday," turning a gala tradition into one of the night's most talked-about moments.
Banderas didn't just receive gifts that evening — he gave one away. Earlier in the night, during the gala's charity auction, the actor peeled off the shirt on his back, a piece he'd customized himself, and put it up for bidding to boost the fundraising total.
"This marks 17 galas completing our foundational efforts. We're gonna continue for another 17 years if life allows it," he said.

What has become extremely evident this summer is that Bayern Munich had no intention of even considering a sale of star winger Michael Olise.
However, there was a prevailing theory that every man must surely has his price.
Maybe not per Didi Hamann:
Dietmar Hamann has explained to GOAL the only way that a move to Real Madrid happens for Michael Olise, with it possible that Bayern Munich would snub a €200 million-plus (£171m/$231m) bid for the France international. It has been suggested that the Blancos are, in their search for more 'Galacticos,' prepared to part with a record-shattering transfer fee.
The Blancos have no need to spend big on Olise in the current window, but may explore that option again in the not too distant future. The 24-year-old is said to have seen his head turned by interest from Santiago Bernabeu.

Charlotte Knights 5, Durham Bulls 3
Just like the big-league club, the Knights (62-52) overpowered the Bulls (52-61) to claim the series. José Urquidy made his third start for Charlotte since he was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates, allowing one run in his two frames on three hits while striking out three in the process. A pair of doubles in the second drove in the first run for the Bulls, but the Good Guys answered back in the bottom of the inning, tying the game at one on a solo shot from Korey Lee, his first of two batted in on the day. Adding three more the next inning, Rikuu Nishida and Mario Camilletti started the inning with back-to-back walks before being brought in by Ryan Galanie. Junior Perez also mashed a solo shot in the seventh to add an insurance run, making up for his rough day yesterday.
Daniel Wright and Tyler Schweitzer were next out of the bullpen, each allowing on run on two hits while striking out two, earning a hold and keeping the Knights in the game with the lead. All of the remaining pitchers earned a hold while Jaden Woods earned his second save of the season, striking out one with a hit, sealing the win for Wright.

Korey Lee (C): 1-for-4, R, 2 RBI, K, HR

A year ago, they were three of the main faces of Serie A. Today, Romelu Lukaku, Dusan Vlahovic and Rafael Leao are facing a scenario that would have been unthinkable just a few months ago: move to Turkey to remain key players, or accept a backup role in Europe's biggest leagues.

Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş and Galatasaray are ready to welcome them as superstars.
The big clubs in the Premier League, La Liga and the Bundesliga, on the other hand, seem willing to take them only under very different conditions: lower wages, more competition and no guarantees of a starting spot.
An unthinkable scenario for three players of their caliber, all of them standout stars in the Italian league.

Whilst Bianconeri coach Luciano Spalletti is desperate to seize a new central midfielder to bring equilibrium to the core of the pitch, Juventus have now set their sights emerging candidate Matias Galazara of River Plate.
TuttoJuve reports that other than Franck Kessie and Tijjani Reijnders, the Turin based club have been monitoring the 22-year-old Paraguayan midfielder throughout the Fifa 2026 World Cup and are reportedly keeping their tabs open in regards to a potential swoop.
As it stands, the Italian tactician is eager to acquire a midfielder that is capable of organizing the attack, dictating the rhythm in possession and constructing the play whilst moving vertically. Hence, the Old Lady believe that the promising River Plate star fits the criteria and believe that a fee of €6m would be enough to persuade the Argentine outfits in permitting Galazara to depart the club in favour of joining the Italian giants.

Milan legend Roberto Donadoni reveals how he would've dealt with Rafael Leao in the dressing room. 'I'd grab him by the dreadlocks every now and then.'

That is also why the expected big offers have not flooded in this summer, as only Turkish teams like Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas have made genuine approaches, and none are prepared to pay the €50m plus add-ons asking price.
MilanNews turned to club legend Donadoni to ask how he would've dealt with a teammate like Rafael Leao, and the response was not positive.

Reports are growing in Italy that Roma will offer to buy Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto for €45m plus bonus, rather than just a loan with option to buy, beating Galatasaray interest.

The irritation of coach Gian Piero Gasperini with the lack of progress on the transfer market has spurred the club into action, especially with Champions League qualification coming up.
Although Mora is technically a trequartista who plays centrally behind the striker, there is also the suggestion he could be used as a wide attacking player instead.

During a recent rare public date night in Canada, Meghan Markle revealed one of Prince Harry's passions, which has a long-held significant royal connection.
The couple made a glamorous surprise joint appearance at the David Foster Foundation's star-studded 40th anniversary gala on Friday night, during which they walked past a line of musicians with bagpipes – an instrument the Duke of Sussex holds an affinity for, according to his wife. A smiling Meghan quipped that her husband "loves bagpipes" in a behind-the-scenes video from the night shared to her Instagram grid.
"Where are mine?" Harry joked, before clarifying "pipes and drums, just to be clear". The royals walked hand-in-hand past musicians dressed in traditional Scottish pipe band uniforms, consisting of a red and black tartan cloth draped over the shoulder and a ceremonial feather bonnet.

The bagpipes hold special and historical significance for the royal family, dating back to Queen Victoria's reign. The instrument holds a deep connection to Scotland, where the royal family have residences at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh and Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire.

Michael B Jordan and Raye have sparked dating rumours.
The pair were spotted spending time together at Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park outside Los Angeles at the weekend.
In a viral photo shared to social media, the duo boarded a roller coaster, with the singer smiling at the Sinners actor as they chatted happily, while fans looked on.
Jordan's theme park appearance with Raye follows a string of high-profile pairings, beginning with Kendall Jenner, with whom he was spotted leaving the same Met Gala after-party in New York City back in 2015.
He was subsequently briefly linked to If Beale Street Could Talk star Kiki Layne, and French fashion model Cindy Bruna, after being spotted out with them.
Jordan's most publicly visible romance was with model Lori Harvey, whom he dated from around autumn 2020 to mid-2022.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Guilherme Santos and Agustin Resch both scored, and Jonathan Bond posted a third straight clean sheet to help the Houston Dynamo run their unbeaten streak to six with a 2-0 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday.

It's no secret that Milan are open to considering offers for their star forward Rafa Leão. And why they are receiving offers, none of them have come close to prise him away from San Siro.
The Rossoneri recently rejected a €35m offer from Galatasaray, while journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that the 27-year-old was recently offered to several Premier League clubs, one of them being Leeds United.
Milan want close to €50 million for Leão, who in turn will want his suitors to at least match his current €7m-per-year contract, if not offer him an improved one.
But amidst all of this, with pre-season drawing to a close and the new season upon us, one must ask: is it really that untenable for Leão in Milan? Could he not stay?
He very much can and, in fact, that is something he may want to do.

Juventus defender Gleison Bremer has no interest in leaving the club despite recent reports suggesting otherwise. Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport via Tuttomercatoweb, the Brazilian star addressed his future amid growing interest from Galatasaray.
Bremer joined Juventus from city rivals Torino in 2022. He has since established himself as one of Serie A's standout defenders. Furthermore, his impressive performances in Turin have not gone unnoticed, with numerous top European clubs setting their sights on the 29-year-old.
However, Bremer's rotten injury luck has seen him spend the best part of the last two seasons on the sidelines. Formerly linked with the likes of Manchester United and Bayern Munich, he has recently emerged as a concrete target for ambitious Super Lig giants Galatasaray.
Moreover, reports suggested Juventus were open to cashing in on Bremer after the player allegedly requested a transfer. Keen to put speculation to bed, the robust center-back decided to go public and open up on his situation.
"I have not asked Juventus to sell me. Especially at a difficult moment, for the club and for me, it would never cross my mind; it would be like running away," Bremer admitted. "If one day I part from Juve, perhaps when I'm older, I'll walk out the front door with my head held high."

Though he likely will still be departing his Bundesliga club this summer, Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has still left the door open just a smidgen for transfer candidate Sacha Boey. The 25-year-old remains one of the players Bayern hope to move before the transfer window closes. Kompany recently backed the club's clear transfer stance on Boey and João Palhinha, acknowledging that regular playing time could prove difficult should they remain in Munich.
Boey nevertheless started Friday's 2-1 friendly victory over Aston Villa in Hong Kong as Bayern completed their Asia tour. Boey again performed well before being substituted following a heavy knock. Kompany subsequently confirmed that Boey's transfer situation remains unchanged, but offered extensive praise for how the defender has handled it.
"Sacha's situation has been clearly communicated by the club," Kompany said. "We are looking for a solution. But ultimately, one of the things that impressed me was how he trained and played. He gives everything. It was a positive performance from him."
There exists precedent for Boey forcing his way back into consideration. The former Galatasaray defender was also deemed expendable before injuries elsewhere in Bayern's defence increased his importance. Get German Football News subsequently examined whether Boey had played himself back into Bayern's plans.
Boey has again received meaningful pre-season minutes and appears to have impressed Kompany with both his performances and professionalism. Bayern may still prefer a transfer, but sufficient defensive depth remains necessary across a long campaign. Should no satisfactory offer arrive, Boey's ability to cover the right-back position could yet prompt another rethink.

Italy's front pages on Saturday are given over to a trio of big exclusive interviews, with Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Cesc Fabregas and Weston McKennie all taking centre stage, set against the "Derby d'Italia" friendly between Juventus and Inter in Perth.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Çalhanoğlu has firmly committed his future to Inter. "I want only Inter," runs the headline, with the Turkey midfielder dismissing links to his homeland, "Forget Turkey, I'm staying here", and declaring the Nerazzurri can go all the way in the Champions League, while awaiting the club's call over a new contract. His stance follows the collapse of Galatasaray's long-running interest.
Corriere dello Sport, meanwhile, leads on Cesc Fabregas, who hails Inter as the benchmark of Serie A.
"The peak is Inter," the Como coach declares, praising Lautaro Martínez as the league's finest, "I'd buy him in Fantasy football", and likening his own Nico Paz to Kaká, as he sets out the "Como model" and his Champions League ambitions.
Tuttosport gives its front page to Weston McKennie, under the headline "Juve forever."

U.S. Men's National Team head coach made it perfectly clear after signing a new four-year deal to remain in the role that he intends to inject some fresh talent into his side in the near future.
Speaking after putting pen to paper on his fresh contract, the Argentine said, "We are seeing that start to appear new talented players, 16, 17, 18, 19-year-olds, young kids with the possibility and potential to be important players in the next World Cup, and I think what we are seeing is an amazing potential."
Among those is likely 17-year-old Borussia Dortmund winger Mathis Albert. The former LA Galaxy academy starlet became the youngest American to play in the Bundesliga in April when he came on as a substitute at just 16 years and 340 days old against SC Freiburg.

For months, it has been expected that Milan's misfiring star forward Rafa Leão will be moved on this summer.
For weeks, there have been links to the Saudi Pro League, the Süper Lig, as well as distant whispers from the Premier League, while the 27-year-old has also featured for Ruben Amorim in pre-season, hinting that staying at the club is also not out of the question.
And if the latest offer Milan have received for him is anything to go by, they may very well choose to keep him on board.
As reported by the Gianluca Di Marzio, the Rossoneri recently received an offer for Leão from Turkish giants Galatasaray amounting to €30 million plus bonuses worth €5 million, which they have rejected.
The offer falls well short of the €50m valuation Milan are expected to start negotiations at, with the Portugal international still having two more years remaining on his €7m-per-year contract.

A week after Michael Brennan threatened to tie the Tour's record for most consecutive made birdies in a round, Sahith Theegala challenged — and eventually tied — the mark for most birdies to open a round by carding six consecutive circle to start his Wyndham Championship.
Theegala's attempt at the record seventh straight birdie came at the par-3 7th, where he bogeyed to fall back to 5 under through seven holes.
And all that drama came within an hour after Beau Hossler signed his first round 61 to become the clubhouse leader — the fifth such low score in three weeks.
With course conditions primed for low scoring, Theegala could certainly challenge for a sub-60 score on Thursday. Golf Channel will be carrying live Round 1 coverage beginning at 3 p.m.
