HAMDEN - Arguably, no program in Connecticut has been more affected by college basketball's ever-changing NIL, revenue sharing, transfer portal, and eligibility rules than Quinnipiac men's basketball.
With the season approaching, the Bobcats have lost all five starters from last season either to transfers or to the ambiguity of the new fifth-year eligibility rule.
The five starters lost accounted for the majority of Quinnipiac's scoring and rebounding last year.
"I am not fond of the changes that have been made in the college game," coach Tom Pecora said. "I started coaching in the early 80s and you were thrilled to get a scholarship, meal money and a chance to travel somewhere outside of your region or your state. I think it would be great if you paid kids after they graduated. Motivate them to graduate even if they go to several schools."
Two-time first-team All-Metro forward Amarri Monroe transferred to Syracuse while Jaden Zimmerman left for Grand Canyon, Grant Randall moved on to Dayton and Spence Wewe is now at Hofstra.

James Attwood: I don't really see how. Sure, the Brewers are a smaller market than the Dodgers. They have a much smaller payroll. But, if anything, the Brewers advancing is only going to fuel the MLBPA to get even stickier about trying to control salaries in any way, shape, or form. Also, even though plenty of fans and pundits like to give MLB front offices a hard time about making stupid decisions, those offices are by and large, stacked with incredibly intelligent people. Those people are going to be able to take a step back and recognize that one season's playoff picture is hardly a sample size large enough to be called indicative of the sport moving forward. There were questions after Arizona went to the World Series in 2023 about whether or not MLB had done enough to create obstacles for Wild Card teams in the playoffs, all because Arizona steamrolled the Brewers and Dodgers. This year, pundits are calling for the entire seeding system to be blown up because there was a team with a .500 record that not only made the playoffs, but won their division outright. Single seasons may bring some oddities, but they are usually not indicative of the reality of the game's overall health.
I suspect, both the ownership side of things and the MLBPA have already drawn their battle lines and have already started crafting their arguments. This outcome in the playoffs will do more to feed the online debates between fans and pundits than it will do for or against the CBA negotiations.
C. Wesley Baier: I think it will impact the CBA negotiations, but how much is the real question. I would be shocked if the MLBPA didn't use this as evidence against a salary cal, but I cant say if it wil be all that successful of a tactic.
Spencer: Nope. Anything can happen in a small sample size. Owners are greedy and want to abuse their employees/customers for profit still. Players are greedy and only care about the uppermost tiers of earning power. Fans will quiet down a little, but fan opinion and outrage has never been a driving force for either side.

Prince Harry and Prince William's feud might worsen if an ex-royal releases a tell-all book. According to a source, the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, might still have a lot to say about the Royal Family. It was said that they have kept their allegiance with Sarah Ferguson, who seemed to be planning a tell-all. Harry is allegedly "going all-out to ruin" William through his allies.
Prince William allegedly suspects Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are deliberately keeping Sarah Ferguson on their side. A source told Closer that the Sussexes have been "in touch" with Fergie and Earl Spencer. While the latter already dropped a bombshell Diana memoir, the former **** ss of York might still be in talks.
"While Sarah is insisting she's not going to write a tell-all book, she is apparently in talks, and if the money is right, she is definitely considering a memoir," the insider said. Furthermore, they claimed that Harry and Markle have allegedly been "trying to keep her on their side."
This way, the couple would reportedly have "some sort of control over what comes out." "They are keeping this allegiance firmly behind closed doors, but it's clear Harry is going all-out to ruin his brother, Prince William," they added.
Meanwhile, the senior royals, including King Charles, William, and Middleton, have seemingly been concerned about Ferguson's next move. They have already been dealing with Earl Spencer's memoir, which showed the king in a negative light. Now if Fergie did a tell-all, the royals fear it would be another crisis for the firm. "For Charles, William and Kate, it's another potential ticking time bomb," the source said.

It's been an extremely busy period for Earl Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, who has been non-stop in promoting his very personal book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. Following his time stateside to talk about the publication, he is back at his beloved Althorp estate and he's shared a poignant photo from the place where his sister is buried.
The Earl took to his personal Instagram Stories to share an image that he took during a moment of quiet contemplation from the edge of the Round Oval Lake, partially showing the central island where Diana is laid to rest. Pleased with his photography skills, Charles captioned the picture: "My luckiest capture of the Round Oval Lake, Althorp." The striking photo showed the sun piercing through the scattered clouds on a crisp autumn day as the mist hung around the base of the trees.
The lake where Diana is buried
Diana's final resting place was decided upon by Charles himself, following her tragic 1997 death. Originally, it was planned that she would be laid to rest in the Spencer family vault at the local church but security concerns ruled that out. Instead, the island on the lake was chosen and the bridge removed to restrict access even further. Now, family members paying their respects have to board a small boat to get to her exact gravesite.

As per the outlet, the future queen is known for being a social and affable person. Not only that, her hand gestures and animated mannerisms are almost her trademark style. The prince made similar hand gestures during emergency scenarios with volunteers and young kids.

Princess Diana's friend has slammed Charles Spencer's book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," dedicated to his late sister. For those unversed, Spencer penned a memoir chronicling Princess Diana's experience being married to King Charles, dealing with intense media scrutiny and her tragic passing. Ever since the book was released on September 22, it has been making headlines.
Princess Diana's friend berated Charles Spencer and branded him as "deeply disloyal" for writing a book about his late sister. In a 1998 TV special with Sally Magnusson, Spencer had declared that he would never profit off his sister's death and thought it was "low."
Royal commentator Ingrid Seward was once a good acquaintance of Diana and had spent time with her shortly before her tragic death in 1997. Seward told The Royal Observer's Palace Unfiltered: "I think that Charles has been deeply disloyal, writing about his sister, putting himself up there, and then to attack the king was so unnecessary. I don't know if what he's saying is accurate, but you know, memory does change over the years."
The Daily Mail published an excerpt, detailing an explosive phone call between Spencer and King Charles over Diana's funeral preparations. As per Spencer, Charles retorted, saying: "Rest **** ured, we will forget her soon enough."
Diana's brother said he was "stunned" by Charles' harsh words for the mother of his children. Additionally, he also claimed the King sounded "giddily elated, like a lottery winner," just after her death.

Charles Spencer recalled an unusual memory involving ex-Prince Andrew in his Princess Diana memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. He described an incident at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at Sandringham when Andrew was a teenager. The revelation comes as Andrew challenges the legality of police searches connected to his arrest.
According to the Express UK, in his memoir, Spencer recalled attending the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at Sandringham with Diana when Andrew was a teenager. He wrote that he and Diana saw Andrew raise his eyebrows with "theatrical exaggeration" and smirk after a priest referred to "the virgin's womb." "He was clearly greatly amused by a reference to that part of a woman's anatomy in such a solemn setting," Spencer added.
This is one of the many controversial revelations he made in his memoir, one of which also included a heated conversation between him and King Charles following Princess Diana's death. Spencer alleged that the monarch told him over the phone call that "We'll forget her [Diana] soon enough."
This shocking revelation comes amid Andrew pursuing a judicial review, asking the court whether the police lawfully searched his properties and made his arrest. This review is in relation to warrants used to search his home at Sandringham and his former home, Royal Lodge, in Windsor. By doing so, he has become the first royal to challenge a proceeding.
According to the BBC, Thames Valley Police said in a statement: "We are engaged in legal proceedings in relation to warrants previously obtained from the Central Criminal Court." Adding, "As these legal proceedings are currently ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further." Andrew was stripped of his remaining military affiliations and royal patronages in 2022. In 2025, he announced that he would no longer use his ****** les and honors, including the Duke of York ****** le.

Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson is keeping a close eye on the latest royal drama, with a source claiming she's looking to use the turmoil to her own advantage.
"Sarah is holding off on a book deal for now, figuring that by showing loyalty, or at least keeping her mouth shut, it's only fair that they cut her a break and help her with a path back towards respectability or, at the very least, a place to live," the source tells Examiner. "They don't need any more enemies."
As Examiner previously reported, King Charles III and Queen Camilla have both been enraged by the Tuesday, September 22 release of Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. In the tell-all, Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, alleges the monarch "sounded giddily elated" after Di's 1997 death. The 62-year-old also claims Buckingham Palace denied the late Princess of Wales' funeral wishes.
Through an official statement released to Page Six, the king, 77, in an unprecedented move, suggested his former brother-in-law's account was clouded by "grief."
Days after the bombshell book hit shelves, Fergie, 66, shot down rumors she was writing her own memoir to People.

Sarah Ferguson reportedly wants King Charles and senior royals to "throw her a bone" before she considers other options. The former **** ss of York was said to be delaying a tell-all while hoping for renewed royal acceptance.
A source claimed she still believed there was "a place for her within the royal family." However, the insider warned that continued exclusion could change her position. Her reported strategy mixed loyalty, leverage, and hopes for a royal comeback.
As per a Closer Online report, Sarah reportedly reconsidered her options. The source said Earl Spencer's memoir offered "a good reminder" of the disruption a royal tell-all could create. Moreover, the insider claimed Sarah's long history with the royals gave her considerable material. They said she could potentially do "a lot more damage to the King's legacy" than Spencer. Still, a spokesperson firmly denied a current memoir project. The representative said, "She is not writing a personal memoir."
However, the insider claimed Sarah Ferguson was keeping that possibility available while hoping for another route. The source said she was "holding off on a book deal for now." According to them, Sarah remained convinced "there's still a place for her within the royal family." She reportedly hoped loyalty would persuade King Charles and others to "cut her a break." That could mean "a path back towards respectability" or "at the very least a place to live." Meanwhile, the source said she still had "the tell-all up her sleeve" if that effort failed.
Additionally, the insider claimed Sarah was sending messages toward both Charles and Prince William. She was reportedly "imploring William and Charles to throw her a bone." The source added that she did not want to "go against the family if she can help it." Still, the report said Sarah could pursue other money-making opportunities if reconciliation failed. Those possibilities reportedly included reality television and rebuilding her social media profile. For now, Buckingham Palace had made no direct statement about Sarah. Meanwhile, senior royals had reportedly continued distancing themselves from the former York household.

A royal expert shared that Prince Harry wants to spend as much time as he can with his father, King Charles, now that he has returned to the UK. However, she noted that their extended stay in the country could create challenging times for Meghan Markle. The Sussexes moved to the UK in August 2026, more than a month after their private reunion with King Charles.
Expert Roya Nikkhah shared what she thinks Prince Harry looks forward to now that he's back in the UK for an extended period of time. She said, "I think the jury is out on that. I mean, my sense and my feeling is I do really feel that Harry wants to spend as much time as he can with his father. His father is still receiving cancer treatment."
Nikkhah said she's aware that Prince Harry hasn't yet met his father since he returned. The expert added that Harry feels he can be more effective in the UK over the next year as he prepares for the Invictus Games in Birmingham. Moreover, she believes Harry does want his children to get to know more about the Royal Family and the Spencers.
"I think it's going to be more challenging for Meghan in terms of what she does here in the UK. It always was quite hard for her. She didn't love it and I think it'll be tricky," Nikkhah further added in an interview with Times Radio, explaining why the stay could prove to be challenging for Markle (via The News International).
This news comes amid royal sources having told Naughty But Nice that King Charles does have plans to meet with Markle and Harry before Christmas.

Expert Roya Nikkhah shared what she thinks Prince Harry looks forward to now that he's back in the UK for an extended period of time. She said, "I think the jury is out on that. I mean, my sense and my feeling is I do really feel that Harry wants to spend as much time as he can with his father. His father is still receiving cancer treatment."
Nikkhah said she's aware that Prince Harry hasn't yet met his father since he returned. The expert added that Harry feels he can be more effective in the UK over the next year as he prepares for the Invictus Games in Birmingham. Moreover, she believes Harry does want his children to get to know more about the Royal Family and the Spencers.
"I think it's going to be more challenging for Meghan in terms of what she does here in the UK. It always was quite hard for her. She didn't love it and I think it'll be tricky," Nikkhah further added in an interview with Times Radio, explaining why the stay could prove to be challenging for Markle (via The News International).
This news comes amid royal sources having told Naughty But Nice that King Charles does have plans to meet with Markle and Harry before Christmas. They said, "This is not a casual 'let's get together sometime.' ****** ody drops in on the King. If Harry and Meghan are in Charles's diary, it is because he wants them there. This is deliberate."

A royal expert claimed that Princess Diana loved King Charles until the very end. Moreover, she reportedly believed their relationship might have worked if they had met when they were a little older. The remark came after Charles Spencer released a memoir about Diana containing several bombshell claims, particularly about the monarch.
Princess Diana allegedly thought she met King Charles "at the wrong time." Ingrid Seward, the royal author, recently spoke about her conversations with Diana and her feelings about Charles with The Royal Observer. The comments come after the release of Charles Spencer's new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. The book covers Diana's life, her marriage to Charles and the events surrounding her death. Spencer makes several claims about the former Prince of Wales, including allegations about his reaction following Diana's death.
Diana's brother mentioned that Charles sounded "giddily elated" during a phone call following Diana's death. He also wrote that the then-Prince of Wales said people would forget Diana "soon enough." Seward shared her thoughts on the matter and questioned whether Diana would approve of the allegations currently being made about Charles. The royal author said, "[The accusations are] the last thing in the world that Diana ever would have wanted, because she loved Charles. She loved him right until the end."
Seward also said that Diana wished they could have gotten back together. The renowned author said that Diana told her that had they met at the right time, when they were a little older, their relationship might have worked.
After their divorce was finalized in 1996, Seward said Diana and Charles were getting along quite well. She added, "There was a moment of togetherness, and Diana actually said to me, 'It's so sad because we could have conquered the world.'" Charles and Diana tied the knot on July 29, 1981, and had two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Their formal separation was announced in 1992, and their divorce was finalized four years later in 1996.

A recent report suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ready to reconcile with Prince William and Kate Middleton. The update comes after Harry and Markle returned to the UK. Since their arrival, Harry's estranged brother William and his wife, Middleton, have not released a statement welcoming the Sussexes.
Insiders recently said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning a meeting with Prince William and Kate Middleton. The move is also being seen as the first step for the Sussexes to reconcile with William and Middleton.
A source told Heat World that the Sussexes "feel it's time for a new summit with William and Kate – and that with all four of them in a room, they could start a very productive and healing conversation." Moreover, the insider said Harry and Markle are willing to take the step, as the former "really wants to see his brother and make peace with him."
On the other hand, Markle reportedly wants to feel welcomed in royal circles and repair her relationship with Middleton.
The insider also claims the update follows the release of Charles Spencer's book about his sister, Princess Diana, which has created a buzz among the royal family. They also said Markle has conveyed that she would not bring up any past conflicts with Middleton during the meeting, as "she just wants Harry to be in a room with his brother." However, a concrete statement regarding this much-anticipated meetup has not been released by either party.

Meghan Markle is reportedly planning to do another round of an explosive tell-all interview with the support of her husband, Prince Harry. For those unversed, Harry and Markle stepped down as working royals and relocated to the U.S. in 2020. The couple participated in various interviews, sharing their honest, critical thoughts on the royal family, including the Oprah Winfrey show and their self-titled documentary. This move comes after the massive uproar reportedly caused by Princess Diana's brother's memoir.
Sources close to Closer revealed that Meghan Markle wants to give a big interview, mirroring Princess Diana's 1995 Panorama interview. According to sources, the Suits star is aware that it might cause a backlash, as her Oprah interview did a couple of years ago. However, she is keen on setting the record straight, in her own words.
The source said, "Now, she thinks it's time for her to speak out again. She wants a Diana moment – in the same way that she shocked everyone with her Panorama interview." The insider explained that the Sussexes' PR team is worried that it may generate major controversy. However, Prince Harry is on board with this, as he remembers how the royal family seemingly mistreated his wife. He does not want the same for Markle and is encouraging her to speak her truth.
"He doesn't want her to feel silenced – he wants her to speak out," the source added. If Markle does go ahead with the tell-all interview, it would be another blow to the royal family's reputation after Charles Spencer's book.
For those unversed, Spencer has levied some controversial allegations against the royal family, particularly her former brother-in-law, King Charles. The Daily Mail published an excerpt detailing an explosive phone call between the king and Spencer.

An expert believes that Prince William may not be pleased with Charles Spencer's new book about Princess Diana. The memoir, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," reportedly contains explosive claims about King Charles and the royal family. The Earl also offers a remorseful reflection on William, then 15, and Harry, then 12, walking behind their mother's coffin, recalling how strongly he opposed the arrangement at the time.
Royal experts have weighed in on how Prince William might be feeling about the new Princess Diana book. They claim that the royal heir has faced a significant repercussion following the release of Earl Spencer's bombshell memoir.
While it honored the late royal, the book also made serious allegations that could have consequences for the monarchy. Among them is a striking claim against King Charles. It is alleged that he sounded "giddily elated" and reacted like a "lottery winner" upon learning of his ex-wife's death.
As per the Daily Express, despite Charles Spencer's accusations, Prince William has remained silent on the matter. Reports indicate that his uncle gave him advance notice weeks before, with the wider public learning about it on the same day.
Discussing the situation surrounding the royal heir, Matt Wilkinson, The Sun's royal editor, stated on the Royal Exclusive show: "I just think it's unfair that he (William) gets dragged into it. I think it's unfair that his work and his engagements are being brought into this book by his uncle, and he wasn't told what was in it."

(NewsNation) — Prince Harry is rumored to be preparing a documentary about Princess Diana to mark the 30th anniversary of his mother's death, with the potential 2027 project already eliciting some negative reaction.
Royal commentator and journalist Rob Shuter says he's all for the concept.
"It's his right to tell the story. That is his mom. Lots and lots of people will be making documentaries next year," he told "NewsNation Prime" on Saturday. "The historian in me, the reporter in me, says we want as much information as we possibly can get, and who better to talk about Princess Diana than her son?"
New book by Princess Diana's brother prompts war of words with King Charles III
The former Diana Spencer, who married and later divorced Prince Charles, was killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. At the time of her death, her eldest son, William, was 15; Harry was 12.

Princess Diana's brother Charles Spencer's new memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister is by far the worst tell-all the royal family has ever faced, a source tells In Touch.
"This book has shown how little defense they really have against someone who decides to turn on them," says the source. "It's really exposed their weakness when it comes to fighting back against this story of hatchet job, so of course it's now got them worrying about the next one."
Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson "may be denying any intentions, which is a relief, but the threat is still there if she does decide to pull the trigger," says the source, "and the same goes for" Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
But there's another royal relative that's "really … putting the fear of God in them," the source reveals, and that's Meghan Markle.

Charles Spencer is sharing more details about Princess Diana's claims that King Charles III was "in love with his valet."
During a Thursday, October 1, interview on Next Question With Katie Couric, the 9th Earl Spencer, 62, discussed his new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, and his late sister's controversial remark about Charles, now 77.
Spencer recounted in the book that Diana took him to lunch and told him she was divorcing Charles.
"And then she said this line, which I put in the book, which was, 'My husband's in love with his valet,'" Spencer shared. "We didn't push that any further, because the headline was, 'I'm getting divorced.' So I remember that, what she said though, because it was quite a jarring thing."
Rumors about Charles and an alleged "incident" involving a staffer first surfaced in 2003, when a former royal aide secured an injunction preventing the Mail on Sunday from publishing the allegedly libelous story, per CBS News.

Princess Diana's brother says Prince Harry has been "very supportive" of a eulogy he gave at her funeral that was famous for its veiled criticisms of the monarchy.
Charles Spencer also said he could not recall Prince William making any comments about the funeral oration he gave in 1997. In the speech, which was delivered in front of the royals, he vowed to ensure that Diana's sons would "not simply" be "immersed by duty and tradition."
His words were received at the time as a swipe at royal protocol in defense of his sister, whose divorce from the now-King Charles III had seen her stripped of her HRH status. Spencer was asked in an interview what his nephews thought of his comments.
"Well, I know Harry's been very supportive of it, and, I don't remember any comments from William," Spencer said, quoted by People.

Tegan Lecheler, founder and director of Mothers & Infant Cash Coalition, told Fox News Digital its support for cash ****** istance has been praised by the right.
Although guaranteed income programs have faced partisan pushback nationwide since gaining national traction in 2018, a growing faction of conservatives is finding common ground with direct cash initiatives centered on mothers and newborns.
According to Tegan Lecheler, national program director for the Mother and Infant Cash Coalition (MICC), the "common-sense" nature of early childhood cash transfers has prompted conservative lawmakers and advocates to reach out to her organization in support.
"I think we're in a really polarized time politically right now," Lecheler told Fox News Digital. "We are not a political organization and want to work to improve families' outcomes. We believe an effective strategy for doing that is to build a big tent – a wide tent with a lot of people underneath it."

Britain's royal family has taken the unusual step of publicly challenging claims made by Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, in his upcoming memoir.
Departing from the monarchy's traditional "never complain, never explain" approach, Buckingham Palace responded Wednesday to Spencer's recollection of a phone call between himself and King Charles, in the wake of Diana's death in 1997. According to Spencer, the call took place after Spencer objected to Prince William and Prince Harry, then 15 and 12, walking behind their mother's coffin at her funeral.
In an excerpt from the book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister published by Britain's Daily Mail, Spencer wrote, "He unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death. 'Rest ****** ured,' he hissed, 'we'll forget her soon enough.'"
While the palace didn't directly address whether the comment was made, the statement questioned the reliability of Spencer's recollection, saying, "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss."
The statement echoes the palace's reaction to claims made by Harry and Meghan Markle during their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey that an unnamed royal had made a remark about their son's skin color before he was born and that the monarchy failed to help a suicidal Meghan. A response issued on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II at that time said that "recollections may vary."

Comedian and podcast host Bill Maher called out deep-blue California on Monday and said the state's voters would always support a Democrat, even if their policies were failing, as long as President Donald Trump was ******* ociated with the Republican Party.
During an interview on "Club Random" with David Foster, Maher argued that California would never vote for a Republican as long as Trump was involved in the party.
Maher noted Spencer Pratt, a Republican who finished third in Los Angeles' mayoral race and therefore did not advance to the general election, had the instinct that California had a "failed system," and Maher agreed.
"It just shows that, in this state, I guess everywhere, we're so bipartisan now, that we will accept failure, which we plainly have here in California, over voting for the party of Trump," Maher said. "Which, I understand, because he does a lot of things that are I mean, plus, Jesus, I mean, I get a lot of s--- from him for the things I criticize just off the top of my head, vulgar, corrupt, doesn't concede elections, you know, inept at things that sometimes were a good idea to begin with. Close the border, you know, get rid of nuclear weapons in Iran, but f---ed up the execution."
Bill Maher argued California will never vote for a Republican as long as President Donald Trump is involved in the party, even as failures mount.
