Celtics rumors: Payton Pritchard contract extension could reach $22 million annually appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
On the heels of trading Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics could bet on Payton Pritchard to help fill the void left in the wake of the All-NBA forward's departure. Pritchard's expected to ascend following Brown's shocking exit, which should lead to a significant pay raise.
With two years left on his four-year, $30 million contract, Pritchard is in line for a hefty contract extension, according to Boston Globe's Gary Washburn.
"If you look at the salaries, Payton is next in line, and I think he's one of the league's bigger bargains," Washburn said. "He's making $7.7 [million] this year, $8.3 [million] in 27-28. He's due an extension that's going to be about $22 million a year. And I think it could be what he decides to produce this year, but I also think he has shown enough where you do give him that $22 million per year. That's still, in today's NBA, a very tradable contract.

College football game ends in bizarre tie after extreme heat stops overtime originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
College football delivered one of its strangest results Saturday, but the final score had nothing to do with a controversial penalty, replay review or missed call. Colorado School of Mines and Washburn finished in a 16-16 tie after dangerous heat conditions prevented the Division II programs from playing overtime in Topeka, Kansas.
The game was originally scheduled for noon CT before officials moved it to 7:05 p.m. It was later shifted again, this time to 9:05 a.m., in an effort to avoid the worst of a heat wave affecting the region. Even the early start was not enough.
The wet-bulb temperature exceeded the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics ****** ociation's safety protocols by the end of regulation, according to Yahoo Sports. The heat index had climbed to approximately 107 degrees. Because temperatures were not expected to return to an acceptable level for several hours, the schools agreed to end the game instead of waiting until the evening to play overtime.
Colorado School of Mines had an opportunity to avoid the unusual finish.

Blame the heat for a tie between Colorado School of Mines and Washburn on Saturday.
No, really. Blame the heat.
The two Division II teams agreed to end their Saturday morning game tied at 16-16 after Colorado School of Mines missed a game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter. The game was set to go to overtime, but the wet bulb temperature had already exceeded the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics **** ociation's temperature protocols. Washburn, the home team, is a member of the MIAA.
The game had little chance of resuming anytime soon if the teams wanted to play overtime. Thanks to the heat dome that's currently occupying the middle part of the country, the temperature in Topeka was set to be around 100 degrees on Saturday with the heat index not dropping below 95 degrees until after sunset at 7:49 p.m.
The game was originally scheduled for a noon kickoff before it was pushed to 7 p.m. earlier in the week. With a forecast for temperatures still well into the 90s at that time and Colorado School of Mines' travel to take into account, the teams then agreed to play the game at 9 a.m. in an attempt to avoid what ended up happening anyway.

Maryland head coach Mike Locksley knows that he'll need all the help he can get if he wants to turn around a defense that finished near the bottom of the Big Ten in points allowed last season.
The Terrapins are well into their preparation for the 2026 season, but they received a commitment from experienced defensive back Jordan Scruggs, who will have to learn the system on the fly.
Scruggs is permitted to play another season in college football after a judge's injunction granted him one more year of eligibility.
He's played at several different schools, including Washburn, Central Missouri, Hutchinson CC, South Alabama, and most recently, West Virginia. He redshirted at Washburn.
Scruggs seemed to be inclined to return to the Mountaineers, but changed course late in the process.

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.

The biggest question CBS Sports had to answer at its media days on Tuesday was asked and answered in under three minutes.
After acknowledging the Tony Romo-sized elephant in the room, the network was forced to explain the down-ballot impact on the rest of its broadcast booths, with J.J. Watt being promoted to the lead booth alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson after the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback was placed on indefinite leave following an OWI arrest.
If there's a silver lining, it's that Ian Eagle doesn't really have a type. He's called games with Dan Fouts, Charles Davis and now Watt at CBS, on top of a rotating cast of NBA and college basketball partners over the years, and he just tends to make whoever's next to him sound better. Watt basically said as much heading into this past season, giving Eagle the credit for chemistry that helped the two of them crack the top five of Awful Announcing's 2025 NFL announcer rankings. That flexibility is CBS's biggest ****** et here. This isn't a booth that lives or dies on one specific pairing.
CBS has elected to pair Eagle with Ross Tucker and Evan Washburn, as the two have done many Thursday Night Football broadcasts together on Westwood One before "The Bird" departed that role following the 2024 season. Initially, Tucker was seen as having "a pretty good chance" to fill the open spot alongside Andrew Catalon in the fourth booth, but Romo's arrest seems to have changed that calculus.
Tucker has been a fixture in CBS's NFL rotation since the 2023 season, regularly working alongside Tom McCarthy as part of the network's sixth broadcast crew. He also calls college football for CBS and handles radio duties for Westwood One's Thursday Night Football coverage, rotating with Devin McCourty alongside Kevin Kugler. The Princeton alum and former offensive lineman also hosts the Ross Tucker Football Podcast for DraftKings and calls Philadelphia Eagles preseason games on local television.

The last time Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Brent Pry was at the podium discussing cornerback Jaquez White, he was almost heartbroken. White had suffered an injury in the Hokies' spring game. Not much was known at the time, but afterward, Pry called it "deflating."
The 5-foot-11, 192-pound White transferred to the Hokies this winter from Troy. Before his one year at Troy, played two seasons at Division II Washburn. It's a remarkable story considering White had very little attention from colleges coming out of high school in Georgia.
When he entered the transfer portal after last season, White was a wanted man. The Hokies quickly made him a priority, and he became one of Virginia Tech's most important offseason acquisitions.
Last week, Tech began fall camp, and White was on the field. On Sunday, Pry met with the media again, and he was giddy. After letting out a sigh of excitement, Pry explained why White was so important to his defense.
"I tell ya, he's a really well-rounded corner," Pry said. "He's got all the traits. He's got size. He's a physical player. He's got speed. He's got length. Really nice feet and hips. Learns well. He's got a rare combination of corner traits and safety traits. I think he could play any of the positions in the back end."
