Tyler Herro and Katya Elise Henry's custody dispute became public in September, but newly reported court records show they had stopped sharing a home long before either parent went to court.
Henry and the former couple's two children moved out of Herro's Miami residence in February 2025, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports. The filing says Henry and the children had lived with Herro from September 2021 through January 2025 before moving into another home a few miles away.
About 18 months later, Herro and Henry both filed petitions on Aug. 20 concerning custody, a parenting plan and financial support for their two children. Herro dismissed his case less than a week later, while Henry continued pursuing hers.
Herro and Henry were still seen arriving together at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas in July 2026, more than a year after the records indicate they had begun maintaining separate homes.
Herro and Henry both filed petitions on Aug. 20 concerning their two children, a daughter born in 2021 and a son born in 2023. According to TMZ's initial report on the filings, Herro asked the court to establish a parenting schedule and determine his child-support obligation. He also said he had already been voluntarily providing financial support.

The Oklahoma Sooners hit the road for the first time in 2026 on Saturday afternoon. OU heads to Ann Arbor to take on the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House in Week 2.
Michigan went 9-4 last year, but the Wolverines have changed a lot since then. Former head coach Sherrone Moore was fired at the end of the regular season, with Biff Poggi serving as the interim head coach. Michigan hired former Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham as the new head man on December 26th.
Whittingham coached Utah from 2005 to 2025, posting a 177-88 record as the head man of the Utes. His teams won three conference ****** les and played in three more conference ****** le games. The Wolverines were looking for a stable presence in the wake of everything that happened with Moore and his predecessor Jim Harbaugh, and they certainly got that in the veteran Whittingham. He'll square off with Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables in a huge game for both programs.
Michigan won at home last week against Western Michigan, 13-12. That victory came in controversial fashion, as the Wolverines were given an extra second on the clock after it appeared the game was over. Michigan used that second to throw a Hail Mary that was caught for the win. After escaping by the slimmest of margins, the Wolverines will certainly play a lot better on Saturday than they did last week.
On offense, Venables will be matched up against offensive coordinator Jason Beck, who came over with Whittingham. Beck has led strong offenses at New Mexico in 2024 and at Syracuse in 2023. His scheme is know for a stout rushing attack that also runs the quarterback a lot, something the Sooners got a heavy dose of last week against UTEP.

The Heat were ready to offer Tyler Herro a smaller contract extension before the trade originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Tyler Herro is now playing for his hometown team, the Milwaukee Bucks, after seven seasons with the Miami Heat. At one point, it seemed Herro was destined to be a Heat for the rest of his career, but that didn't happen because he was their best trade piece in the 2026 offseason.
After a long wait, the Heat finally have a megastar again in Giannis Antetokounmpo. Before they pulled off the trade, it seemed that the Heat were ready to keep building on their core group, including Herro. That would have involved an extension for Herro, but they were unwilling to give him the max.
Throughout his Heat tenure, Herro always had the support of the front office. Team president Pat Riley saw him as a long-term piece, but when the opportunity to trade for Giannis came up, it was hard to deny the package that the Bucks wanted.
Before that, he was also involved in the potential Damian Lillard package back in 2023, but that did not lead to anything. Herro was superb for the Heat, as he had two trips to the NBA Finals and an All-Star nod to be proud of. However, his time came to an end after the Antetokounmpo trade.

Khadija Shaw netted a brace while Mary Fowler was also on target as The Cityzens were victorious on opening day.
It was the visitors who almost got off to a dream start. They won a corner inside the opening 30 seconds, but Marie Levasseur saw her effort cleared off the goal-line.
Océane Hurtré then almost capitalised on a back-pass, but home keeper Ayaka Yamashita did just about enough to deal with the danger.
At the other end, Shaw met Lauren Hemp's cross, but she couldn't beat Sophie Baggaley. Hemp soon produced another cross from the left which was met by Shaw, but she was again unable to take advantage,
Manchester City captain Alex Greenwood and Aoba Fujino had further efforts on the Birmingham City goal, but Baggaley was able to produce saves on both occasions. Fowler then slipped the ball to Shaw, who looked certain to score, but Neve Herron defended well and managed to perform a block.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Embarrassing. An embarrassment. And more embarrassing beyond that.
The Kyle Whittingham era was supposed to embody toughness, discipline, playing smart, and doing things the right way. After saying all of the right things and appearing to be confident in what Michigan football would bring to the table in his debut in Ann Arbor, Whittingham's team was not only the opposite of everything he espouses, it was a debacle in every way. The Wolverines were a miracle away from, at best, the second-worst loss in program history, and given what the head coach's teams had been for two-plus decades in Salt Lake City, it's a head-scratcher.
The opening offensive drive was as impressive as the rest of the game was bad. Despite mistakes, quarterback Bryce Underwood sliced through the Western Michigan defense like a hot knife through ***** er, making what ended up being fall camp bluster look prescient. But that was it. 75 yards on the opening drive, and a 47-yard Hail Mary aside, it accounted for all but 154 yards accumulated all game. The offense, against a supposedly overmatched foe, made the Sherrone Moore-era offense look like the air raid by comparison. The defense got off the field, surrendering little in terms of points, sure, but it also allowed the Broncos to hold the ball for over 40 minutes, including a 13-minute, 40-second drive spanning from the third to fourth quarters. When the offense got the ball back, it quickly relinquished possession after three plays, managing seven yards on first down before deciding that moving the ball forward was anathema to its goals.
And then there were the other mistakes: missed ***** ignments, an ***** ortment of penalties, and all-around bad play. It wasn't just the opposite of what was expected; it was the opposite of how Whittingham's teams in Utah played for 21 years.
"I'm going to reserve judgment on that until I dissect the film," Whittingham said after the game. "But we talked about how we improved dramatically through fall camp. That's a fact. I mean, there's no one that attended practice that wouldn't tell you anything different. We had former players there, and everybody had the same ***** ysis. And so, and we're not -- I'm not saying that Bryce played a bad game. This isn't on Bryce Underwood. This is, like I said, it's on me, and I've got to figure out a way to have these guys better prepared and be able to get into a rhythm offensively. It's like we never got into a rhythm after that first drive. We always found a way to screw it up. We were like 0-for-5 or 0-for-6 before we converted on third down. And you just can't win football games like that. We were very fortunate to win, obviously."

College football's coaching carousel was a doozy last winter, spinning wildly and putting some new faces in new places.
That ride included Lane Kiffin's closely watched move from Ole Miss to LSU.
A slew of schools were desperate to find the right man to help them win games and generate revenue for athletic departments that have a lot of bills to pay in the new era of college athletics.
Michigan coach Sherrone Moore's firing and arrest created a job opening with college football's winningest program and Kyle Whittingham took the job, shortly after stepping down at Utah.
Here's a look at some notable first-year coaches at Power Four schools:

At this time last year, the experts predicted quite a busy coaching carousel.
But even the most aggressive prognosticators couldn't have seen the onslaught of the 2025 hiring cycle: more than 30 FBS coaching transitions, including 17 in the power leagues.
Who had Brian Kelly (LSU), James Franklin (Penn State) and Sherrone Moore (Michigan) all getting fired? Or that Kyle Whittingham would be pushed aside at Utah and then land in Ann Arbor? Or that Michigan State would replace Jonathan Smith after Year 2 for Pat Fitzgerald?
Don't expect this year to be as action packed. However, we've all learned to expect the unexpected from the hiring-and-firing industry.
Our annual coaching hot seat list is ****** embled through conversations with those in the college administrative, search firm and agent world. It's not our opinion. It's not subjective. It relies on the expertise and knowledge from industry insiders, some of whom are already positioning themselves for a search or expecting one at a particular school.

TOPEKA (KSNT) — Last season, Washburn volleyball earned a share of the MIAA regular season **** le and made it to the NCAA Central Regional semifinals. This season, the Ichabods expect nothing less.
"I can confidently say that we're hungry for more as a good team is, and we're trying to find that line between good and great," Washburn senior Libero Taylor Rottinghaus told 27 Sports. "We want that so bad that we've made it a goal to own it, and we want to do that so bad that we're going to put the work in on the court with practice, with the games, all of it."
In 2025, Washburn finished 27-5 and 13-3 in MIAA play. Heading into this season, the squad looks a little different after losing key All-American playmakers.
"You know, any time that you remove pieces and add pieces, you've changed the makeup of the team, and so every single year is just a little bit different," Washburn head coach Chris Herron said. "And so we're starting to see, you know, which direction we're going in and what the makeup of the team is going to be like."
One of the key leaders on this year's squad, who has been for the last couple of seasons, is Shawnee Heights' own Taylor Rottinghaus. Last season, the libero led the team with 468 digs.

Why Nikola Jovic remains untouchable in Heat's Klay Thompson trade talks originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Miami Heat aggressively reshaped their roster this offseason by acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo. Front office executives mortgaged substantial future capital making this blockbuster deal happen. The Organization surrendered Tyler Herro leaving their developmental cupboard completely bare. Miami desperately needs perimeter shooting around their newly formed superstar duo immediately.
Meanwhile, Klay Thompson has emerged as the primary target amid ongoing offseason discussions. Dallas Mavericks made the veteran sharpshooter available following organizational direction shift. Miami wants Thompson badly but refuses sacrificing remaining youth for an aging veteran. This reluctance creates massive stalemate between both franchises currently.
NBA insider Brett Siegel provided a crucial update regarding ongoing trade negotiations Thursday. Siegel revealed Miami remains extremely reluctant including forward Nikola Jovic any deal. Dallas continues seeking valuable ****** ets rather than buying out expensive veteran shooters.
"Even though the Heat could get creative with a trade offer revolving around 23-year-old forward Nikola Jovic, this doesn't appear to be a scenario Miami wants to see play out," Siegel reported. "Jovic is a young talent the Heat have coveted since drafting him 27th overall in 2022, and he is one of the team's only youthful options after trading Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Kasparas Jakucionis for Giannis."

Preseason game number one for the New Orleans Saints is finally here. After a scrimmage with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, the Saints will host the Jaguars in the Superdome on Saturday afternoon. It will be the first 2026 preseason outing for either team.
Most starters for both teams will sit out the game. However, there is still much to keep an eye on for both teams. The Saints look like a much-improved roster from the 2026 version, but now have to show it on the field. This preseason test will be against a Jaguars squad coming off a 13-4 season and an AFC South championship. Here are a few things to watch closest during Saturday's Saints-Jaguars clash.
Don't expect any of the New Orleans starting five to see the field. However, this unit must show that they have some quality depth. Losing veteran Dillon Radunz for the year hurts. Radunz was able to fill in at multiple spots and had starting experience. The spotlight will be on second-year players Torricelli Simpkins, Easton Kilty, and rookie Jeremiah Wright on the inside. At tackle, Asim Richards along with undrafted rookies Alan Herron and Alex Wollschlaeger will have their opportunities.New Orleans has yet to sign a veteran offensive lineman after the injury to Radunz. Their philosophy is clearly to see what they have in their younger players. Saturday's performance of this unit against Jacksonville will help determine whether the Saints need to bring in veteran additions to the position before the end of training camp.
We won't see Chris Olave or Jordyn Tyson. But there is still a lot to be determined within the receiving corps. Rookies Barion Brown and Bryce Lance have made some jaw-dropping plays consistently in practice. Now, they'll get a chance to do it in a game against a different defense. Brown and Lance seem nearly certain for roster spots, as does veteran Devaughn Vele. That leaves perhaps one job up for grabs within the unit.
Can returning veterans Ronnie Bell, Kevin Austin Jr., or Mason Tipton make their claim? Will Trey Palmer provide another threat for the offense? Can Bub Means revert back to his promising 2024 rookie form? Will any of them close the apparent gap between themselves and Brown or Lance? These are just a few of the questions to watch play out on the field. The biggest is this: Will the New Orleans receiving corps provide both a legitimate threat against defenses and quality depth for the team's offense?

The Michigan Wolverines are coming off one of the noisiest offseasons in all of college football. Head coach Sherrone Moore was dismissed from the program after the Univeristy determined that he had been involved in an "inappropriate relationship" with a staffer.
"U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately," the university announced in December. "Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member."
The university then hired Jenner & Block, a Chicago-based law firm, to launch a full investigation into the practices and culture of its athletic department and the scandals that have impacted it recently. Ultimately, the investigation led to the school and athletic director Warde Manuel agreeing to mutually part ways at the end of the year.
Now, the school and football program are looking to turn the corner, a process that started with the hire of the well-respected Kyle Whittingham as the football program's new head coach. Whittingham is inheriting a team that went 9-4 last season, including a loss to the Texas Longhorns in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. For Whittingham to get the Wolverines back to ****** le contention, he'll have to unlock the full potential of quarterback Bryce Underwood, the number-one overall in the 2025 recruiting class.
Luckily for Michigan fans, he's poised to do just that.

D'Angelo Russell points out how Davion Mitchell could break out for the Heat originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Since the Miami Heat made big moves in the offseason, the focus has been on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. This has led to a deeper dive for people into the Heat's supporting cast, and it is quite different from what they had in the past few years.
Tyler Herro was the primary option in their guard rotation, but since he got traded for Antetokounmpo, it is on Davion Mitchell to step up. Mitchell has been a reliable guard for a long while, but it seems he is due for a breakout season in the 2026-27 campaign.
For his entire career, Mitchell has been known to be a defensive stopper. He is one of the toughest matchups for any guard because he is strong and quick to react with his rotations. He is also quite smart, which is why he was such a lauded prospect from his college days.
As one of the guards he has to guard all the time, D'Angelo Russell knows how tough it is to play against Mitchell. That is why he sees Mitchell having a big-time season in the 2026-27 campaign because he has seen up close how good Mitchell has gotten.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Football teams often have to deal with sudden change, but perhaps the change was even more sudden for special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs.
The former Ohio State defensive coordinator was the final hire by former head coach Sherrone Moore, having ousted JB Brown at the end of the season. Coombs was in Ann Arbor for just a few days before Moore, himself, was out. Thus, his head was somewhat spinning, as he got a new job and then suddenly, the person who hired him was gone.
On Thursday, Coombs recalled the tumultuous December and how he found himself wearing maize and blue.
"It's quite a story," Coombs said. "There's a great book in there somewhere. I got hired, officially hired, on Saturday. Coach asked me if I could be up here on Sunday, which I packed my boxes and came on up and said we've got practice on Monday. We did. That was our first bowl practice. Coach was sitting in the front row. We started with a special teams meeting. I was installing things. We practiced the first day. Same thing for the second day. Then the third day, Coach got up in the middle of the meeting and left. Then we ended up having a full meeting after that. We were notified that there was going to be a change made.
"For me, I give Biff and those guys that were here a lot of credit for holding things together. They embraced me. I knew some guys in the building because the guys were here, like Dave and Phil Bromley. Those guys were here when I was bringing my high school team up here years and years ago. I knew some people. Tony is the only guy I knew on the staff. It was an incredible month. My wife would tell you that. I couldn't be more excited to have survived that and be here right now."

Between the trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the draft, and free agency negotiations starting on June 30, the Miami Heat are keeping themselves busy building a new contender in the East. So what has Miami done so far, and what is next for them?
On June 22, the Miami Heat traded Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakučionis, the No. 13 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, two future first-round picks, a future pick swap, and a future second-round pick for Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis.
This trade marks the beginning of a new Miami Heat, finally pairing a superstar with franchise player Bam Adebayo. Bobby Portis also comes in as a strong backup for the frontcourt duo. A few Heat players have expressed their excitement to play alongside Antetokounmpo. Davion Mitchell, for example, has already been to Greece to work out with Giannis.
Antetokounmpo and Portis sat down for their intro pressers on July 16. Bobby Portis began at 12:30 p.m. and described his excitement in playing for a team he rooted for growing up, "I was born to be a Heatle…my favorite team growing up."
Giannis Antetokounmpo's presser followed at 3:00 p.m. Throughout the presser, he reiterated his work ethic and established his desire to bring championships to the 305, "One of my goals is to win a lot of championships…I think this is the best route for me to do that."

It appears Tyler Herro is still not best pleased with the Miami Heat for trading him to land Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Heat gave up Herro, along with Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Kasparas Jakucionis to bring the Greek Freak to South Beach.
Herro, who is a Milwaukee native, gets the chance to play for his home team. However, it doesn't sound like the star is too happy about the way the deal went down.

One fan in Las Vegas for the NBA Summer League asked several NBA players what they thought was the craziest trade of the offseason.

Heat reportedly warned against signing Stephen Curry's ex-teammates originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Miami Heat traded Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware and three first-round picks to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks in June, giving them one of the three best players in the world. That deal changed the franchise's ceiling. What it did not resolve was the roster around Antetokounmpo.
Several experienced names have since entered Miami's free agency discussions, including Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, Bradley Beal, D'Angelo Russell and Nick Richards. One anonymous NBA scout evaluated all six this week, and his **** sments landed in very different places depending on the player.
The scout speaking anonymously to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel was asked to **** s Miami's full list of veteran targets. They highlighted why many of these players come with major risks.
Thompson, one of Curry's most decorated Warriors teammates, drew a notably measured take. The 36-year-old averaged career lows of 11.7 points and shot 39.3 percent from the field in his one season with the Dallas Mavericks. He has one year left on his contract at approximately $17.5 million and remains a buyout candidate.

Bam Adebayo gets honest about why he's not too worried about the Heat's lack of shooting originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo was a major move for the Miami Heat. With that move, he and Bam Adebayo form a fearsome partnership that could be the best in the league. However, it does pose a problem because they might not be as dynamic on offense as many duos.
Defensively, there should not be any problem with Adebayo and Antetokounmpo. Unfortunately, that is only half the game, so offensively, they might have some limits because they do not have the best perimeter shooting.
It is fair to have high expectations for the Heat now because they have an elite duo in the frontcourt. Pat Riley and the Heat's front office did have to send a significant package to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Giannis, so the team is lacking depth.
Trading away the likes of Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Kel'el Ware, and Kasparas Jakucionis was a big investment for Miami. It was an understandable decision, but it does hamper their offense because those players were big-time contributors for head coach Erik Spoelstra.

A month from now, the focus will be squarely on the 2026 college football season, which features real expectations for the Michigan Wolverines despite all of the chaos of the offseason. The time to lock in is very close, but I wanted to perform one more labor-intensive yet not hugely beneficial "analysis" before we reach the games actually being played.
I suspect I am not alone in watching plenty of highlights over the offseason to kill time. (Drop a random event in the comments: mine is that Giles Jackson apparently returned the second-half kickoff back for a score in that triple overtime escape against Rutgers in 2020 — who knew?!) As I stroll down memory lane, one question kept coming back to mind: which end zone at Michigan Stadium gets more excitement?
To start off this super meaningful exercise, I looked at all home games between 2021 and 2025. Over these 36 contests, Michigan scored an average of 4.2 touchdowns per game, which seems like a pretty good total! Many of these were on the ground, as opposed to explosive passing plays, and some of the ones in September were fairly forgettable, but there are clearly some fun things happening here.
Unsurprisingly, the numbers have fallen a bit post-2023, with 4.7 touchdowns per game during the Big Ten Championship streak falling to 3.7 TD/game in the Sherrone Moore area. Quality of competition plays a role, though that excuse only goes so far. Removing the Group of Five opponents yields the same dropoff, with 3.8 TD/game pre-Moore turning into 2.8 TD/game the past two seasons.
Seeing that the Wolverines scored a bunch under Jim Harbaugh, then less under Moore, is not exactly news. No, the whole point of this effort is to determine if Michigan scores more in the north end zone (left on tv) or the south (right). Prepare yourself for a lot of numbers!

In the span of three weeks, teams owned by Jimmy Haslam traded DE Myles Garrett and SF/PF Giannis Antetokounmpo in deals that included players and draft compensation. For the Cleveland Browns and Milwaukee Bucks, Haslam's teams, the trades reset their rosters and turn their attention toward the future.
According to a report, Haslam pushed for the package from the Miami Heat over one from the Boston Celtics, due to his experience with Garrett, which led to this humorous "Anthony Schwartz caused the Garrett and Antetokounmpo trades."
Both big trades were similar. The Browns acquired DE Jared Verse and three draft picks, while the Bucks added Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, four draft picks, and one pick swap.
According to Haslam, he believes it is more difficult to rebuild in the NBA than the NFL:
Cleveland fans are aware that Haslam's Browns have made the playoffs just twice, their only two seasons with a winning record during his ownership tenure, and his 14-year record as owner is 78-1501-1. If rebuilding is more difficult for Haslam in the NBA, we send our condolences to the fine fans in Milwaukee for what their process might look like.

LAWRENCE — As Bill Self reflected Wednesday on the run the Kansas basketball alumni team was making in The Basketball Tournament, he did so before JHX Hoops suffered a 78-65 defeat against La Familia.
JHX Hoops, KU's team, lost in the finals of the alumni portion of the bracket against La Familia, Kentucky's team. The defeat ended a run that saw JHX Hoops eliminate both Kansas State's alumni team and Wichita State's before reaching that point. JHX Hoops just fell short of being able to play for the TBT's $2 million prize, set to go to the winner of the matchup between the winner of the alumni side of the bracket and the winner of the non-alumni side of the bracket.
But Self, who coaches Kansas basketball, did provide some insight into JHX Hoops' TBT run that remains worthwhile to dive into. Self, who coached Sherron Collins and Tyshawn Taylor when they played at KU, followed what the alumni team was able to accomplish this year. Collins was listed as the team's head coach on the TBT website, while Taylor was listed as a player/GM/owner.

CHICAGO -- For decades, Michigan football was synonymous with doing things the right way, having never been subject to any NCAA investigations or penalties. There was little in the way of coaches doing the wrong thing, but the changeover from Gary Moeller to Lloyd Carr showed that the Wolverines weren't fully impervious to that. But the past four years have seen black eye after black eye -- some deserved, some debatably so.
From 'burgergate' to 'signgate' to Sherrone Moore's firing, it seems that cameras and the NCAA have been set up outside of Schembechler Hall for some time now. Thus, after Moore's dismissal for having an inappropriate relationship with his ****** istant, Paige Shiver, the program hired Kyle Whittingham from Utah, who's known for running a tight, clean ship.
And Whittingham said in his Big Ten media days press conference that the team is ready to put the past in the past and go forth with a clean record.
"They're hungry and ready to get back into a season and get into some football again," Whittingham said. "They've been through a lot the last four or five years, but hopefully we can put the drama to bed and just get back to being student-athletes and having a great college experience."
Whittingham noted in the same press conference that he hopes that with the most recent calamity, Moore's indiscretions, football can again be the main focus in Ann Arbor. The players are eager to showcase their capability, and he doesn't want the shadows of the past to haunt the program any further.

Next up in the opponent preview series is the Michigan Wolverines. After an up-and-down season, which ended in the firing of Sherrone Moore and the first loss to Ohio State since 2019, Michigan decided to hire longtime Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. The Wolverines will look to put years of on- and off-the-field scandals behind them and return to their identity of being tough and physical in the trenches.
Rutgers has had an interesting history with the Wolverines, sealing their first-ever Big Ten victory over UM in 2014 with Kemoko Turay blocking a late field goal attempt to preserve a 26-24 win and prompting a field storm at SHI Stadium. Since then, it has all been downhill, including the infamous 78-0 loss that still leaves a pit in Rutgers' fans' stomachs.
More recently, Knights fans have struggled with much closer losses to the program, which offer a different type of heartache. There was a string of three surprisingly competitive games against a stronger Michigan team, including a 48-42 3OT escape by UM in 2020, a frustrating 20-13 Rutgers loss in Ann Arbor in 2021, and a shocking 17-14 halftime lead for the Knights at home turning into a 52-17 Michigan rout in 2022.
The last meeting between the sides was arguably the most anticlimactic, with Rutgers falling to Michigan 31-7 after an early Christian Dremel touchdown put RU up 7-0. The Knights have not seen the Wolverines since that 2023 meeting, which was the year Michigan won the national championship.
With the history being unpacked, let us turn our attention to this year's Michigan Wolverines and what to expect when Whittingham's team arrives in New Jersey on what should be an interesting Halloween gameday.

CHICAGO — Kyle Whittingham is a tone-setter. At Michigan, he also has to be a stain remover. The 66-year-old former Utah frontman is tasked with ameliorating a program tainted by scandal.
Whittingham was hired by Warde Manuel, an athletic director who's now stepping down at the end of the calendar year after being implicated in an internal investigation "into the circumstances surrounding the conduct" of fired Wolverines football head coach Sherrone Moore. Manuel, according to an FAQ the school put out earlier this month about the investigation and its corresponding culture review, demonstrated "failures to quickly and effectively act on allegations of wrongdoing by Athletic Department employees."
Moore, notably, was arrested by police and fired by Michigan in December for what the university described as an "inappropriate relationship" with a staff member. He faced a collection of charges, including a charge of felony home invasion, although he dodged jail time by reaching a plea deal earlier this year.
The nefarious web extends further, of course, as Moore's two-season stint at the helm began when he officially took over for Jim Harbaugh, who was in charge of the Wolverines when they were marred by their infamous sign-stealing scheme. That ploy resulted in some casting a perverse shadow over the national ******* le Michigan won during the 2023 season. Even before that saga began, Harbaugh got caught up in recruiting violations at Michigan.
For years, Wolverines players have found themselves in a vacuum of controversy and uncertainty. Whittingham, after a 21-season tenure piloting the Utes, yearns to bring stability to Ann Arbor.

The Miami Heat have been aggressive this offseason, especially early in free agency. Miami is coming off a disappointing season after failing to advance out of the Play-In Tournament.
The Heat made one of the biggest moves of the summer when they traded for former Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
"The Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks (including No. 13 in Tuesday's NBA draft), one pick swap and one second-round pick, sources told ESPN," ESPN's Shams Charania wrote.
Miami also pursued LeBron James, but that effort ultimately fell short. The Heat have since shifted their focus toward adding more shooting.

The Brooklyn Nets still have some moves to make with the 2026 NBA offseason still containing some big names on the market that could sign as soon as LeBron James decides where he will play next. Brooklyn has made most of the moves that they're going to make prior to the beginning of the 2026-27 season, but they are projected to lead the league in cap ****** e against next season.
The Nets are projected to have $68.6 million in cap ****** e following the conclusion of the 2026-27 campaign, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac in a post on X on Thursday. Following the Nets are the Chicago Bulls ($55.6 million), Los Angeles Clippers ($53.8 million), Detroit Pistons ($43.9 million), and Milwaukee Bucks ($43.3 million) to round out the top-5 teams in cap ****** e that offseason.
While Brooklyn is projected to have the most cap ****** e in the league next summer, that figure would change if the Nets agree to a contract extension with forward Michael Porter Jr. at some point this offseason. Porter is eligible to sign an extension for four years and $234 million and while he is unlikely to get the maximum amount of money he is eligible for, the structure of his extension could change Brooklyn's offseason next year significantly.
More to the point, the Nets reportedly signed center Mo Wagner to a two-year, $18 million deal, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, but the Wagner signing has not been made official as of this writing. However, even Brooklyn signs Wagner to the reported contract, his second year may not factor into the Nets' cap ****** e if it is a team option that the team ultimately declines.
Essentially, ****** uming that Porter isn't signed to a contract extension and Wagner's deal has a team option on the second year, Brooklyn will have almost $70 million in cap ****** e to work with after next season. Some of the best unrestricted free-agents next season, excluding James, will be Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, forward Kawhi Leonard, and Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro.

Tyler Herro says he is focusing on helping the Milwaukee Bucks and not looking in the past following his altercation with former Miami Heat teammate Bam Adebayo in Las Vegas last week.
Herro, who was dealt last week to the Bucks as part of the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, told ESPN’s Ramona Shelbourne that he wants to “move on” from the incident and is "focused on the next chapter in Milwaukee."
"Honestly, I'm just trying to move past all of it," Herro said. "I'm focused on Milwaukee and building something special. They obviously just traded the greatest player in their history, so we want to come in and help continue what they've been doing."
On Friday, The Athletic reported that Herro and Adebayo went at it inside a gym at Resorts World Casino in front of Herro's AAU team in Las Vegas. The Heat and Bucks played one another that afternoon. Witnesses reported that Herro said something to Adebayo as Adebayo walked onto the courts. Adebayo then approached Herro and reportedly punched him. Herro’s AAU coach confronted Adebayo as Herro yelled at his former Miami teammate as he was escorted away by security personnel.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the dust up occurred after Herro was approached by Adebayo about criticism he lobbied at Adebayo after their time together with the Heat came to an end.

Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro aren't the only ones throwing punches this weekend. Four-time NBA champion Draymond Green and Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem are also trading haymakers, only this altercation is taking place on social media.
On Sunday's episode of The Draymond Green Show, Green discussed the recent altercation between Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, sharing his own experience getting into it with a teammate and revealing what bothered him most about the incident.
"I remember when I got into it with Poole… I remember one person, when the Jordan Poole incident happened with me, who was really, really outspoken about it, and it really bothered me, was Udonis Haslem," Green said.
"I saw Haslem get into it with guys on teams that was younger than him before. Ala Jimmy Butler. Then he came out like, 'That's ridiculous! You get into it with your young guy I would never. I can't believe you did that…'"
"So when I first saw this, I was like, **** . This is two young guys Udonis Haslem raised. If you raised this young guy in the light of what you was saying about me, and now he punches this other young guy, that y'all kind of co-raised, are you going to have that same energy?"
