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.

Young Americans are reconsidering the value of a college degree given the high cost of college and the prospect of taking on student loan debt, which is prompting some colleges and universities to cut tuition costs to attract students and boost enrollment.
A report by Bloomberg noted that several colleges and universities have announced plans to lower their tuition either this year or in the next academic year when students arrive on campus in fall 2027. For example, Emory & Henry University historically offered significant merit scholarships amounting to up to $23,000 to help students negate some of the $40,000 price tag they faced, the report noted.
However, the school moved to reduce tuition by half to $19,900 for undergraduate students this academic year to lower the sticker price students are evaluating, while still offering merit scholarships up to $5,000 and covering tuition costs for certain in-state students from Virginia who meet income criteria.
"Our tuition reduction plan was just one piece of a larger strategic enrollment strategy," said Dr. Louise "Lou" Fincher, president of Emory & Henry University, told FOX Business. "Ultimately, we wanted our published tuition to better reflect the real cost of an Emory & Henry education."

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but college is awfully expensive.
Depending on where someone goes to school, they can be left with a lot of debt — an albatross that can hang around their neck for decades. Among 401(k) plan participants in their 40s, those with student loan debt had median retirement account balances roughly 45% lower than those without, according to a new report from the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
The best option is to figure out scholarships, financial aid, debt timelines and what school makes financial sense before going to college. But that's not reality for many clients, leaving advisors to help fit student debt into a financial plan that balances both loans and savings. "The biggest mistake I see is treating student loans as an all-or-nothing problem," said Corinna Rose, a CFP with Bell Investment Advisors. "Many borrowers think they need to eliminate every dollar of debt before they can start investing."

Coca-Cola announced plans Tuesday to invest $10 billion in U.S. infrastructure between 2026 and 2030, covering new and expanded production, distribution and office facilities across the country.
That $10 billion commitment is calculated across the full Coca-Cola system — meaning it rolls in spending by bottling partners and is not limited to the parent company's own capital budget, according to Reuters. In July, the company forecast its own capital expenditure at approximately $2.2 billion for the fiscal year. Projects covered by the broader $10 billion commitment include previously announced work in Rancho Cucamonga, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Indianapolis, Indiana; Birmingham, Alabama; Coopersville, Michigan; St. Cloud, Minnesota; Orlando, Florida; and Webster, New York, the company said.
The announcement accompanied an independently commissioned study measuring the Coca-Cola system's 2025 economic contributions in the United States. The study found the system contributed $85 billion to U.S. gross domestic product — roughly $10 million in economic activity per hour — and supported nearly 1 million jobs, the company said. Rounding out the economic picture, the system directed roughly $37 billion toward American suppliers and channeled $177 million into community initiatives via The Coca-Cola Foundation and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.
"This ****** sment reinforces what we see every day: the Coca-Cola system is deeply rooted in America and continues to deliver meaningful value for the people and communities we serve," John Murphy, president and chief financial officer of The Coca-Cola Company, said in a statement.
The company said its production network spans more than 70 facilities and hundreds of distribution centers across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, with the system's economic contributions exceeding $1 billion in 25 states. The study was conducted by Steward Redqueen.

Democratic state parties announced Monday that they are launching an operation for the midterm elections they're calling the "New Battlefield Project," intended to recruit 10,000 volunteers to guard polling places in case armed federal officers show up.
Activists are planning mass protests if the Trump administration tries to interfere with voting or ballot counting. And legal scholars are distributing white papers advising judges what they should do if the government tries to seize ballots.
The unprecedented efforts are in response to President Donald Trump's equally unprecedented moves to interfere in this year's midterm elections, which include attempts to impose proof-of-citizenship requirements to register to vote and directing the Postal Service to play a central role in deciding which voters should get a mail ballot.
The anxious contingency planning as voting gets underway has become a marker for how fraught democracy has become in the country that once stood as an example to the world.
"We have never prepared for an election sabotage event like we have now," said Ezra Levin of the left-leaning group Indivisible.

Former Florida State forward Alex Steen suffered a setback in his effort to secure another season of college basketball eligibility, according to Chris Nee of Noles247. Leon County Circuit Court Judge David M. Frank denied Steen's verified emergency motion for a temporary and preliminary injunction on Friday, Sept. 11. Steen is suing the NCAA in an effort to obtain a fifth season of eligibility for the 2026-27 season.
Steen and attorneys representing both sides appeared before Frank for a hearing on Sept. 2. The former Seminole is part of the 2022 high school class and played four consecutive college seasons without redshirting. His lawsuit challenges his exclusion from the NCAA's new eligibility framework that provides five seasons of competition to athletes from the 2023 class and beyond.
Under Florida law, Steen needed to satisfy four requirements to receive a temporary injunction: a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, no adequate remedy at law, irreparable harm without an injunction, and a showing that granting relief would serve the public interest. Frank determined Steen had not met the necessary standard.
The court found Steen's claimed losses involving practices, workouts, team activities, recruiting conversations, and professional evaluation were not supported by sufficient evidence and remained speculative. Frank also wrote that potential lost NIL income could be measured financially and therefore addressed through monetary damages.
Frank additionally determined a temporary injunction would not serve the public interest, reasoning that granting one player another season could affect roster spots, playing time, scholarships, and revenue-sharing allocations for other athletes.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis is pushing back hard against his murder conviction, vowing to fight the verdict in court.
In his first interview after a Las Vegas jury found him guilty of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon in the 1996 killing of 2Pac Shakur, Davis spoke to The Hollywood Reporter shortly after the verdict.
"Shit, I ain't worried. I'm getting out on an appeal. We already filed it before the trial even started. They violated my civil rights!" Davis said.
"I'm innocent, man. They got an innocent man sitting in jail. I've got two grandsons that are going to the pros in football," Davis continued. "They All-Americans—one of them is in high school. He has 25 scholarship offers, and the other one is in college. And when they get their millions, they're coming to get me out of here."

Regan Hutsell was crowned the 99th Miss America on Sept. 6, and in addition to receiving the prestigious **** le and scholarship money, the Texas native will get the keys to a New York City pad.
Mallory Hudson, the organization's Communications Manager, confirmed to Realtor.com® that this year's prize package includes access to "the Miss America apartment." The residence serves as a luxurious "home away from home" for Hutsell, who will remain based in her hometown of Houston, TX full time.
Miss America 2026—the competition in which the reigning Cassie Donegan was crowned in Orlando, FL last September—marked the first time the impressive perk was offered to a winner.
The dwelling is in the 36-story Chelsea Landmark building, which sits within the vibrant west-side neighborhood of Chelsea, and is described by the organization as "a stunning apartment residence that will serve as the NYC base for Miss America as she fulfills her national duties."
"As the role of Miss America evolves to meet the demands of modern advocacy and media, so too does the infrastructure around her," a statement explains. "We're opening doors to new partnerships, visibility, and moments that amplify our mission on a national scale."

Oregon Ducks football coach Dan Lanning wasn't all that pleased following his team's 34-27 win over Boise State in the 2026 season opener. The Ducks were sloppy much of the time, and while some mistakes are expected in first games, others were compounded by miscues that just can't happen, first game or not.
The Ducks were flagged 10 times for 90 yards, and some of those were costly, directly leading to Boise State scoring just a couple of plays later.
There was a lot of bad in that game, but there was a lot of good also. Oregon managed to play through the adversity, erase a 10-point deficit, and eventually hang on to win against a determined Broncos team that showed why they are favorites to win the new Pac-12 this year.
Now the Ducks will face a different kind of adversity as they go on the road for the first time this season, a trip to Stillwater, Okla., to face a brand new Oklahoma State team. This isn't the team Oregon played just a year ago and pounded 69-3. The Cowboys have 91 new scholarship players, so film is limited. They did play at Tulsa last week, but OSU fell 24-10.
Here's everything Lanning had to say in his weekly Monday night press conference before preparing to face the Big 12 team.

There's a new scholarship program for those interested in golf-course design and it's being started by one of the best in the game: Tom Doak.
According to a story in golfcoursearchitecture.net, the Doak Award will go out every two years to students who have showcased a commitment to a career in golf-course architecture.
"The purpose of the award is to further the education of promising young architects who have already demonstrated their dedication to a career in golf course design," Doak the publication. "It is really a write-your-own-award set-up, so that it's tailored to the gaps in each applicant's experience, whatever they think they are."
Doak has modeled this after the Dreer Award which he earned while at Cornell in the early 1980s. That award paid for him to travel and study golf courses. The Doak Award requires applicants to propose their own program of study and inlcude travel and educational pieces.
"I do expect travel to be an important part of the award, but I am keenly aware that it is much more expensive to see great courses today than when I spent nine months in the UK for about $10,000 in 1982," says Doak. "To that end, I am enlisting a bunch of my former clients to provide lodging and food in key locations, and asking fellow architects to host a student for a day or two if travelling to their part of the country."

A college education is probably one of the most expensive purchases you'll make in your lifetime.
The average cost of college today ranges from more than $25,000 to $60,000 per year. With prices that high, it's inevitable that many students will rely on student loans to help fund their education, in addition to their own savings, contributions from family, scholarships, and grants.
Federal student loans are a great first place to start. They typically offer the most competitive rates with fixed APRs and borrower protections. But some students aren't eligible for federal loans, or can't get the full amount they need for school.
As a result, you may turn to private student loans to fill the gap. Here's what you need to know before you apply for a private loan, and some of the top lenders to consider today.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Last year, wide receiver Dohnte Meyers was just hoping to get established in the Canadian Football League.
Now, he's on the Cincinnati Bengals' 53-man roster to start the regular season.
"He has earned his way, that is for sure," coach Zac Taylor said. "He just continued to make plays over and over again. We weren't dialing stuff up for him. That is how you make it, really. When the opportunity comes your way, you have to make the most of it."
Meyers started his career at FCS Presbyterian College on an academic scholarship. After having success at that level, he transferred to Division II Delta State University. Meyers did enough at Delta State to earn an invite to Atlanta Falcons rookie camp in 2023, but that was only three days and a few reps here and there. He couldn't get his foot back in the door in the NFL at the time, so he went to every workout for every league he could find.
Meyers ended up paying his way to work out in the Canadian Football League.

And while that may not come as much of a surprise to most fans of the sport, the fact that recency bias can warp the perception of historical greatness ought to not come as much of a shock either given not all of us (NBA stars or otherwise) are scholars of league history.
So when new Minnesota Timberwolves guard LaMelo Ball paid former Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown near the top of the mountain when it comes to all-time great Celtics on a recent episode of the semi-eponymous "Ball in the Family" podcast, one can hardly blame him, especially considering he was not all that far from the truth. "I have got to see all the accolades," said Ball (h/t to Yahoo Sports' Gautam Varier) with an understandable caveat, "but if you line up Boston's best players ever, he's in my top five."
Now if you were to say top at his position, that would be a more reasonable argument given the existence of players like Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, Jo Jo White, Dave Cowens, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett. There are reasonable arguments to rank him three or maybe even four of those names, but after that it gets tough given all these Hall of Fame players accomplished in Boston. Ball seemed to acknowledge this dynamic, shifting the frame to a more positional one.
"Only two wings is better than him is Paul Pierce and Larry Bird," said the Minnesota guard. Hondo and White would like a word, but to be fair neither looms as large in the lore of the wider league as they ought to. Perhaps most interestingly, Ball also thinks Boston dealt their best player to the Philadelphia 76ers.
"I think Brown's a little better," said Ball. "He's low-key frying Bird ... I don't want to be disrespectful… Bird is baking him too, but he's baking Bird. Bird is baking him, too, but he is also getting to it ... Jaylen Brown has a better chance of guarding him than he has of guarding Jaylen Brown."

The NFL isn't always about what happens on the field, and Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and his family are once again investing in the city's future by expanding a scholarship program designed to help Baltimore students attend and graduate from college.
The Bisciotti Family Foundation has committed up to $3 million to continue the Ozzie Newsome Scholars Program through an expanded partnership with Morgan State University. The eight-year grant will run from 2026 through 2033 and be administered by the Morgan State University Foundation.
The funding will support 40 new students at Morgan State, with 10 students selected from each of the next four incoming classes. Each recipient can receive $15,000 annually for up to 5 years, for a potential scholarship value of $75,000 per student.
"Since its inception, the Ozzie Newsome Scholars Program has been about more than financial support," Bisciotti said. "It honors Ozzie's legacy by investing in Baltimore students whose talent, determination and character continue to inspire us."
The program began in 2021 with a $4 million commitment divided among Morgan State, Bowie State, Coppin State and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Current scholars at those institutions will continue receiving their promised ******* istance, but future classes will be concentrated at Morgan State.

A college education is probably one of the most expensive purchases you'll make in your lifetime.
The average cost of college today ranges from more than $25,000 to $60,000 per year. With prices that high, it's inevitable that many students will rely on student loans to help fund their education, in addition to their own savings, contributions from family, scholarships, and grants.
Federal student loans are a great first place to start. They typically offer the most competitive rates with fixed APRs and borrower protections. But some students aren't eligible for federal loans, or can't get the full amount they need for school.
As a result, you may turn to private student loans to fill the gap. Here's what you need to know before you apply for a private loan, and some of the top lenders to consider today.

Tennessee football legend Peyton Manning awarded four UT freshmen with the latest installment of his namesake scholarship and he was on campus to honor the recipients on Aug. 31.
Hector Centeno-Lopez, Breanna Gonzalez, Olamide Olakunle and Mikayla Schumpert, the 2026 Peyton Manning Scholars, earned their four-year award and a spot in the selective Haslam Leadership Scholarship program through a rigorous selection process that sought "academically successful incoming Vols who exemplify service, leadership and integrity," UT said in a school release.
"The growth of this program remains a point of pride for me," Manning said. "This is just the beginning of the positive mark these students will leave on their community and this university. I hope they will leave UT with the same passion for this special place that I have."
Manning is still the most prolific passer in UT football history, having thrown for 11,201 yards over four seasons from 1994-97. The first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, Manning won a Super Bowl with both the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
He endowed the scholarship when he graduated from UT in 1998 and it has been awarded to 69 students in the 29 years since. This year's four Manning Scholars all have diverse academic and career interests but are bonded by a "desire to lead and leave UT better than they found it," according to UT.

Aug. 30—BROOKINGS — Dan Jackson has been saying since the end of last season that he wanted to see more explosive plays from his South Dakota State offense after there was a dearth of them in 2025.
As if by request, Chase Mason connected with Jack Smith for a 73-yard touchdown pass on the first play of 2026.
"Couldn't picture it any better," said Mason, who completed 5-of-10 throws for 157 yards in a half-days work.
That set the tone in what ended up a season-opening 70-7 demolition of the Stetson Hatters, a team from the non-scholarship Pioneer League of the FCS, as the Jackrabbits continued to produce explosive plays throughout the night in what amounted to essentially a tune-up before the Jacks head to Chicago next weekend to challenge Northwestern.
SDSU has never defeated a Big Ten team, and for them to entertain thoughts of changing that next Saturday, they needed to be nothing short of completely dominant against the Hatters, and that's precisely what they were.

The University of Florida is one of seven schools on the official visit list for five-star point guard Cayden Daughtry.
Daughtry, the No. 3 overall prospect in the class of 2027, narrowed his list of 33 scholarship offers to 14 teams, including Arkansas, Florida, Florida State, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Providence, Tennessee, UConn, USC, Vanderbilt and Villanova, according to 247Sports.
His visit to Florida is set for Sept. 25-27, and there's potential for other get-togethers with Todd Golden's coaching staff, with Daughtry playing at Calvary Christian Academy in Fort Lauderdale. Florida offered him June 5 and has quickly surged in his recruitment.
Daughtry will also visit Florida State from Aug. 28-30, Tennessee from Sept. 4-6, Iowa from Sept. 11-13, UConn from Sept. 19-21, Miami from Oct. 16-18 and Arkansas from Oct. 30-Nov. 1.
The 6-foot point guard's stock exploded over the summer following strong event performances at the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions — 25 points, five **** ists, four rebounds and five steals — and The Throne, where he scored 36 points. He also won gold with USA Basketball at the FIBA U17 World Cup.

Some of you will remember Stan Brunson, who was a solid walk-on for Duke in the early 1990s who eventually earned a scholarship. He also played soccer while at Duke.
Like most walk-ons, he was greatly appreciated by the fans, and after his playing days were over, he returned to Durham and got his MBA from Fuqua.
Now, his son, Will, is a highly regarded recruit, and Duke is at least somewhat on the radar.
Brunson, in the Class of 2028, is around 6-6, plays for IMG Academy and is a top 20 player in his class.
But will his Duke ties matter? Maybe, maybe not: "My dad went to Duke, so everybody in the house is always going for Duke when I was growing up, but in the past three years I just became a huge college basketball fan," he told the Up Next Podcast. "I turn on YouTube and look at the replays of March Madness. I'm not really a fan of ****** ody right now."

When Amy-Jill Levine was a child in Massachusetts, a schoolmate in her predominantly Catholic hometown told her she was guilty of killing Christ because she was Jewish.
Her mother reassured her that wasn't the case — and instead of being embittered by the encounter, the young Levine began attending a Catholic catechism class to learn more about her Christian neighbors and their beliefs.
That blossomed into a decades-long academic career in an unusual role — a Jewish scholar of Christian Scriptures. Levine has worked to improve how Christians and her fellow Jews understand each other. She's spoken at many churches and taught students about the ancient Jewish context of Jesus' life and teachings. She's written numerous books, some in tandem with Christian scholars; she and a co-author even presented one book personally to Pope Francis.
But after the Catholic Biblical **** ociation of America announced earlier this month that Levine was elected its first-ever Jewish president, an antisemitic backlash began.
Denunciations appeared in the posts and replies on social media accounts with tens of thousands of followers. Critics called her "anti-Christian," claimed she's trying to hijack Catholicism, denounced Jews for not accepting Jesus, and tacked on anti-Zionist comments.

Tonight marks a first for University of West Florida football. The Argos are scheduled to play their first NCAA Division I game when they open the season against No. 16 Southern Illinois. The matchup comes just months after UWF announced in April that it would move to Division I, joining the United Athletic Conference for football and the Atlantic Sun for other sports.
The opener also starts a new chapter for coach Kaleb ***** les, who played quarterback in UWF's first game in 2016 and now leads the program as head coach. UWF built a quick Division II resume that included a national championship in 2019 and six playoff appearances. Now the question is how that success translates at the FCS level, beginning with a season opener that should give the Argos an early test against a ranked opponent.
Tonight's game is UWF's first football contest as a Division I program, making it a milestone moment for the university and for a program that is not yet 10 years old.
The Argos went 81-30 in Division II, but Division I comes with greater scholarship requirements and more financial investment to maintain a strong program.
UWF's teams can compete for conference championships right away, but they are not eligible for NCAA championships until the 2029-30 academic year.

BLOOMINGTON — Sam Alexis' eligibility for the forthcoming college basketball season was thrown in doubt Wednesday, when the Tennessee Court of Appeals issued a stay on a lower-court ruling granting several athletes an injunction against the NCAA's application of its new age-based eligibility model.
Alexis is one of a number of players who graduated high school in 2022 and played four years of college sports in that same ****** e of time seeking relief against the NCAA's decision to apply its new five-years-to-play-five rule only to athletes beginning with the ongoing academic year. Athletes across several sports and in several states have won relief against the ****** ociation's decision, granting those athletes an additional year of eligibility as well.
One of several athletes party to that filing, Alexis gained his fifth year when the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee, granted its injunction earlier this summer. Alexis played his first two years of college basketball at Chattanooga.
Indiana welcomed Alexis back into an open 13th scholarship, after coach Darian DeVries elected to leave one spot unfilled following his roster rebuild last spring. Now, Alexis' eligibility for 2026-27 is in limbo once more.
The appellate-court stay does not overrule the lower court's injunction. It simply stayed the injunction, and therefore the relief it provided plaintiffs in Alexis' case, while the higher court considers the NCAA's appeal.

DJ Lagway is back home.
Well, as close as he can get.
After two seasons at Florida that took him from the nation's top quarterback prospect to the transfer portal, Lagway's next chapter brought him back to Texas this offseason.
It brought him to a place that has been part of his life since before he could walk.
Baylor was the place his father, Derek, played running back from 1997 to 2001. It was the place where he watched games as a kid. It was the football program that offered his first scholarship before he became the nation's No. 1 quarterback prospect.

Auburn football lost all three scholarship quarterbacks from last season's roster to the transfer portal. One of those quarterbacks, Ashton Daniels, has locked in a starting role with Florida State. What is the status of the other two quarterbacks heading into the new season?
It was expected that Deuce Knight would sit behind Trinidad Chambliss at Ole Miss, but Jackson Arnold joined UNLV's roster with a fair chance of winning the starting quarterback job. However, he has not officially claimed it.
UNLV head coach Dan Mullen was asked about the quarterback situation in Las Vegas ahead of the Rebels' week zero game against Memphis at Allegiant Stadium, and shared that neither Arnold nor Alex Orji has claimed the starting job. Mullen claims that the starter will be dictated by the opening play of Saturday's game, which has yet to be drawn up. However, both quarterbacks will see the field on Saturday.
Arnold transferred to UNLV following the coaching change from Hugh Freeze to Alex Golesh, leaving Auburn after spending just one season. He was named the starting quarterback for the Tigers after spending two seasons with Oklahoma, and went on to start eight games for Auburn before the job was handed over to Ashton Daniels.
In 10 total appearances, Arnold passed for 1,309 yards and six touchdowns, adding 311 yards on the ground with eight touchdowns. Now with his third college program, Arnold hopes to find his stride with UNLV and become the quarterback he was projected to become as a five-star prospect out of high school.

Sometimes, when everyone is standing around and waiting for a leader to step up, it falls on you to become that leader.
The Big Ten took on that role Tuesday morning, reportedly coming together as a conference and planning to vote on a new rule that would block players who have declared for the NFL from returning to the college level for one more year of eligibility granted by the new "5-for-5" scholarship rule.
According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, any player who declared for the NFL draft and did not withdraw, appeared on an NFL roster, or signed a contract with a pro league cannot be on a Big Ten roster.
This has been a major conversation over the past week after a temporary restraining order was granted for former college athletes who would have otherwise been granted an extra year of eligibility under the new scholarship rule, had it not been passed after they left for the NFL. We've seen players like Dae'Quan Wright, a former Ole Miss TE who signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent this summer, ask to be waived by the Browns so he could come back to school, enter the transfer portal, and join Lane Kiffin with the LSU Tigers.
Sources: The Big Ten is set to pass a rule today that doesn’t allow players to return from the NFL and play for a Big Ten school. Anyone who has declared for the NFL Draft and did not withdraw, appeared on an NFL roster or signed a contract with a pro league cannot be on a Big…
