What's done is done. Western Michigan lost, Michigan won, and that's not going to change.
But one prominent WMU alum has floated another way for all parties to rectify the situation, in the wake of Michigan's stunning — and controversial — win over Western Michigan at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor last Saturday, Sept. 5.
Jason Babin, who starred at Western Michigan before going on to a long career in the NFL, said on social media this week that Michigan, the Big Ten or the TV networks, or some combination of all three, should actually cut Western Michigan a check. He suggested an "eight-figure" check.
His point: The big boys can afford it, Western Michigan sure could use it (especially in this era of NIL), and it's at least a gesture that would help all parties move on.
"I'm thinking to myself, 'OK, no putting the genie back in the bottle, what could we do to rectify the situation?'" Babin said on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this week, as the reaction to Michigan's last-second, 13-12 victory was still white hot, especially on social media. "Can't change the outcome. Can't say Western's got the win, frickin' Michigan's got the loss. that would look worse than Michigan fans storming the field after the game. The only thing I can think logically that could possibly make the situation relatively better would be an eight-figure check, maybe from the Big Ten, from Michigan, maybe a combination, networks, I don't know, somebody — a financial donation, we could call it.

Saoirse Ronan brought subdued elegance and modern minimalism to the 2026 Venice Film Festival on Thursday in a custom Louis Vuitton gown.
The Oscar-nominated actress wore a navy, long-sleeve dress with a rounded neckline. The gown's restraint made its few design twists more **** ounced: an exposed zipper curved along one side of the bodice, while a thigh-high slit opened the skirt.

Meghan Markle could rethink her fashion choices as she settles into life in Britain, according to a style expert. Her UK return may bring a wardrobe that blends California ease with more practical British dressing. The ***** ss of Sussex spent six years in California, where her style embraced relaxed silhouettes, linen pieces, white hats, and casual accessories.
Lauren Bulla believes Meghan Markle's fashion could shift again, especially if she continues living in the Cotswolds. "As Meghan has lived in California for six years, it's expected her style would shift towards a Montecito vibe," Bulla told "GB News". She noted that Meghan embraced "more relaxed fits" and casual pieces during her time in California.
However, Bulla expects Meghan to bring some British influences back into her wardrobe. "We can also expect Meghan to adhere to harking back to British societal expectations with higher necklines and structured garments while still keeping with casual elements – wearing a pair of jeans and trainers."
The countryside could influence her choices too. Bulla predicts that Meghan may reach for wellies, trainers, trench coats, crossbody bags, and muted neutral patterns if the Cotswolds become her main base.
Meanwhile, autumn weather could push Meghan toward heavier fabrics. Bulla expects her to swap lightweight linen for weather-appropriate materials while mixing casual staples with polished tailoring. "There's a lot of speculation about what her style will be like back in the UK," Bulla said. The expert added, "There will likely be some playful looks as well as formal ones."

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs are debuting all-white uniforms against the Western Ketnucky Hilltoppers. Georgia will wear white pants, white jerseys and white helmets for the first time in school history.
Georgia has worn alternate uniforms four times during the coach Kirby Smart era. The Dawgs are 4-0. Georgia still traditionally wears a white or red jersey along with silver britches and a red helmet.
The Bulldogs wore black jerseys in a 2016 home win (35-21) over Louisiana Lafayette. In Georgia's last road trip to Arkansas, back in 2020 quarterback Stetson Bennett saved the day after a slow start. Georgia wore red pants and slightly altered white uniforms in the 37-10 win.
In 2020, Georgia also wore black jerseys at home in the Bulldogs' 31-24 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in a game where JT Daniels passed for over 400 yards. Georgia wore the same black jerseys, which have a red Dawg collar, in Georgia's last-second 24-21 Peach Bowl win over Cincinnati.
Of course, Georgia's most memorable alternate jersey game is when the Bulldogs beat Auburn at home in 2007 with black jerseys. Georgia will look to move to 5-0 in alternate uniforms under coach Smart on Saturday, Sept. 12 against Western Kentucky at 12:45 p.m. ET.

Judd Nelson made a rare public appearance in West Hollywood this week, looking a lot different than he did as an '80s teen icon.
In photos shared by the Daily Mail and published on Friday, September 11, the Breakfast Club star, 66, stepped out in an eclectic layered look — camo pants, a brown shirt and a loosely ***** oned plaid overshirt in blue, red and white, all topped off with a black trench coat. He rounded out the outfit with a gray ball cap and sunglasses. But the real transformation came from his beard: long, gray and scruffy, it obscured much of his once-famous face.
David Edwards / MEGA
Nelson grinned as he geared up, strapped on a sticker-covered black helmet, hopped on his motorcycle and headed off into traffic.
The Suddenly Susan alum tends to avoid the red-carpet circuit and public events, but he's a familiar sight to Angelenos who spot him weaving through the city on two wheels. His love of motorcycles even led to a memorable mishap decades ago on his first day filming 1991's New Jack City alongside Ice-T and Chris Rock.

Natasha Poly attended the Be Brave premiere during the Venice Film Festival on Thursday, joined on the red carpet by Diesel creative director Glenn Martens.
SGP Stefano Guindani Photo
The model wore a custom Diesel gown that took one of the most basic pieces in any wardrobe – the white tank top – and stretched the idea all the way to the Venice red carpet.
SGP Stefano Guindani Photo
Made from ribbed jersey, the fitted tank construction extended into a floor-length silhouette with draping through the skirt and an enormous train. And enormous really is the word here. At one point, it required ******* istance just to make its way along the red carpet.

It took only a few seconds on a French red carpet for Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham to find their marriage under scrutiny again.
A video from the Deauville American Film Festival shows Brooklyn reaching down to rearrange the train of Nicola's white Alberta Ferretti gown before stepping aside. Nicola then turns toward him with an expression some viewers interpreted as irritation, prompting Page Six to describe the moment as an "icy" exchange.
The rest of the Sept. 8 appearance complicates that interpretation considerably. Photographers captured the couple kissing, embracing and posing closely together before Brooklyn stepped away to give Nicola **** e in front of the cameras.
The brief moment nevertheless spread quickly online, with viewers **** igning everything from annoyance to larger marital tension to a facial expression neither Brooklyn nor Nicola has publicly explained.
Nicola's floor-length Alberta Ferretti gown featured a sweeping train that required some management on the carpet. In the circulating clip, Brooklyn bends down, moves part of the fabric behind her and then walks out of the shot.

The Philadelphia Eagles enter Week 1 as favorites over the Washington Commanders, but divisional familiarity and several offseason changes could make Sunday's opener difficult.
Here are five concerns entering the matchup.
Daniels can extend plays and punish undisciplined pass-rush lanes. Philadelphia must pressure him without creating easy escape routes.
The Commanders ranked fourth with 134.7 rushing yards per game, while Philadelphia finished 22nd in run defense. Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White and Daniels give Washington several options.
The Eagles are playing their first meaningful game with Sean Mannion calling plays. Hurts must adjust to having his offensive coordinator in the booth as the unit establishes its identity under a new play-caller.

Chris "CT" Tamburello's estranged wife, Catalina White, is clearing the air.
Just days after the MTV star, 46, stepped out alongside Phaedra Parks for the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, White, 40, spoke to Page Six to clear the air about any "inappropriate overlap" between Tamburello and the 52-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta personality.
While Tamburello and Parks have only just started dating, they met in the fall of 2023 while filming season 2 of The Traitors, a year before he married White. Besides their long-running friendship and the bond the pair formed on the popular Peacock series, White told the outlet she "absolutely" does not think the two were anything but friends until recently.
"I have no reason to believe that," the content creator maintained.
She also kept her comments about Parks positive, noting that while she doesn't know the reality star "personally," Tamburello only ever "spoke highly" of the Bravolebrity.

The 2024-25 Boston Celtics set the NBA single-season three-point record with 1,457 makes across 82 games. Three different Celtics players made at least 250 threes that season, something no team had ever seen before. The question heading into 2026-27 is whether the Hornets can break the NBA three-point record.
Analyst Tom Haberstroh specifically named Charlotte as a genuine contender. Looking at the roster, it is not hard to see why.
" I think this Charlotte Hornets team, even though they lost LaMelo Ball, who was at times the most high-volume scorer, shooter in the NBA from downtown, still, I think this team, dude, I think they have a chance to break the three-point record next year," Haberstroh said on The Kevin O'Connor Show. "You got Coby White, who's a 95, 96 percentile volume three-point shooter. Good three-point shooter off the dribble. Kon Knueppel, we already know; the fact that he led the league in threes as a rookie is insane. Brandon Miller, also a high-volume three-point shooter."

Look at what Charlotte is putting on the floor. Kon Knueppel made 273 threes in his rookie season — the most in NBA history by a first-year player. Grayson Allen is 40.3% from three in his career. Royce O'Neale shoots 38.9% from deep while White (36.9%) and Naz Reid (37.1%) connect at 36.9% and 37.1%, respectively.

Dana White hasn't kept his hate for Francis Ngannou private.
Once praising him as the baddest man on the planet, White quickly rescinded those comments and had a complete change of heart toward the Cameroonian. Both men fail to hide their hatred for the other, and rumors surfaced late last year of a previous physical altercation between the two, in which the former UFC heavyweight champion put his hands on the boss. Since then, their bitter feud has grown to an unprecedented extent, making it one of the most intense sagas between fighter and employer in company history.
Dana White having problems with a fighter isn't a new occurrence. He has famously feuded with many of his top stars over the years, but the Francis Ngannou problems run deep. According to White, Ngannou is blacklisted. He even sees the ***** an on the same level as Oscar de la Hoya, a man he has been at odds with for close to a decade.
Discussing his disdain for Ngannou, White turned to problems the fighter has with other promotions, hinting at his underwhelming time competing for the PFL.
"Listen, Ngannou is on my Oscar de la Hoya list," White said. "Look at the history of Francis Ngannou and the other companies he's been with. He's a bad guy, man. He's a bad guy."

The women's side of the US Open nearly had an all-American final, with the semifinals featuring Aryna Sabalenka vs. American Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina vs. American Coco Gauff. Unfortunately for the Stars and Stripes, when Thursday night ended, neither Pegula nor Gauff had advanced, with Pegula losing in straight sets and Gauff falling in three.
One of the attendees in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday night was former First Lady Michelle Obama. As dissapointing as Thursday's results may have been for the former White House resident, Obama still sent a message of support at the conclusion of the matches.
"Big hugs to CocoGauff!!! She's a joy to watch. Always proud. Go USA Tennis!!" Obama posted on X.
As positive as Obama's message was, many fans on social media took exception to Obama not also addressing Pegula's performance, and questioned if there were racial motivations behind Obama's decision.
"Why do you only show up & root for black athletes?!? Racist much?" one fan posted on X.

Standing outside his new school, Eton College, in uniform for the first time on Tuesday, Prince George looked the spitting image of his father, Prince William, 31 years earlier.
Dressed in the iconic tailcoat, winged collars, and white tie, the 13-year-old future King's resemblance to his father on his first day in 1995 could not have been clearer.
Earlier in the morning, as William and Kate dropped off George for his big day, the father and son appeared to be wearing almost identical navy suits and suede shoes, with the only noticeable difference being spots on the latter's tie.

But it's far from the first time that royal fans have noted their uncanny similarities – and twinning fashion moments.

NEW YORK – It was a fairy tale brought to life as a princess and a queen at New York Fashion Week.
Brandy and Whoopi Goldberg, the stars of 1997's live-action "Cinderella," reunited front row at Christian Siriano's fashion show Thursday, Sept. 10, during the first official day of NYFW. Brandy, who played the ***** le princess in the film, and Goldberg, who played Queen Constantina and mother of Prince Christopher (Pablo Montalban), hugged and smiled as they posed together for photos nearly 20 years after the Rogers and Hammerstein film debuted.
The "Boy Is Mine" singer donned a white two-piece ensemble with cutout details from head to toe, while "The View" cohost opted for a metallic gray jacket with black polka dots paired with a white collared shirt and charcoal pants.
New York Fashion Week: Gigi Hadid, Romeo Beckham hit the runway at star-studded Tommy Hilfiger fashion show
The magical reunion punctuated a starry front row of celebrities, including comedian Tiffany Haddish, singer JoJo, actress Evan Rachel Wood, Emmy-winning actor Billy Porter, actress Mena Suvari, "Will & Grace" star Debra Messing, "The Pitt" star Supriya Ganesh and "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Bronwyn Newport (a longtime Siriano client prior to her reality TV casting).

BEIJING/SINGAPORE, Sept 10 (Reuters) - China bought 14 to 15 cargoes of U.S. soybeans this week, or around 1 million metric tons, four traders told Reuters, as the world's top oilseed buyer steps up purchases ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington later this month.
The purchases take China's total U.S. soybean buying to nearly half of the 25 million tons the White House said Beijing had committed to annually through 2028.
Chinese state stockpiler Sinograin booked the cargoes for shipment from U.S. Gulf terminals between December and February, traders said.
Sinograin did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

Sept 10 (Reuters) - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called U.S. President Donald Trump twice on Thursday and urged him to launch strikes against the Houthis, Axios reported, citing two U.S. officials.
Trump rejected the request, and U.S. officials said the administration does not intend to take direct military action against the Houthis at this time, the report said.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The White House and Saudi embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside regular business hours.
According to Axios, the U.S. is increasingly concerned about the rapidly escalating conflict in Yemen and is stepping up support for Saudi Arabia while seeking to avoid direct military involvement.
Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the U.S. Central Command, traveled to Saudi Arabia on Thursday for urgent coordination talks, according to the report.

Saturday isn't just another game for the Oregon Ducks. A couple of milestones are attached as the boys in green and white travel down to Stillwater to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
For starters, Dan Lanning has something on the line this week against the Cowboys. With a victory, the Ducks' 40-year-old head coach will celebrate his 50th career win at Oregon, which would put him in an elite club in program history.
That milestone may not come with a banner or a trophy, but it puts him in rarefied air in Eugene; the last Oregon coach to cross 50 wins was Mike Bellotti, back in 2001, his seventh year at the helm.
Since Bellotti, coaches like Chip Kelly, Mark Helfrich, Willie Taggart, and Mario Cristobal have all fallen short of the mark that Lanning is about to hit in his fifth season. In Oregon history, only three other coaches have crossed the 50-win mark: Bellotti, Rich Brooks, and Len Casanova.
Chip Kelly notably had 46 wins in four seasons as the Ducks' head coach.

UFC president Dana White trashed former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, whom he referred to as a "bad guy."
Ngannou left the UFC in 2023 and has since fought for PFL, MVP MMA, and in professional boxing.
At age 40, Ngannou is not a young man anymore, but he continues to be a feared knockout artist and someone who UFC fans still want to see fight inside the Octagon against the top heavyweights in the world.
Not so fast, however, says White, who says he has zero interest in bringing Ngannou back to the UFC.
Speaking to Nightcap, White made it clear the UFC will not return to being in the Ngannou business.

Leeds United managing director Robbie Evans says the club and boss Daniel Farke are "on the same page" as they look to agree a new contract.
Farke, who guided Leeds to a 14th-placed finish in the Premier League and an FA Cup semi-final last season after winning promotion in 2024-25, is in the final year of his current deal.
The Whites have taken five points from three league games this campaign and Evans said the German had done "a fantastic job".
"As far as the contract discussions themselves, Daniel and his team and I have had really good chats for the past three months and they're all on the same page," he said.
"Unlike signing him back in 2023 or doing a deadline day deal kind of thing the time pressure is far reduced and so we have a time to get it right as far as what he wants and what we want.

Etsy Inc (NASDAQ:ETSY) stock is down 2.6% to trade at $70.20 today amid broader market pressure, though Argus reiterated its "buy" rating and lifted its price target to $89 from $67. The $70 level has served as both support and resistance in recent months and could provide a potential pivot point for the shares. What's more, the e-commerce name is now within striking distance of a historically bullish trendline.
According to Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative ***** yst Rocky White, Etsy stock is trading within 0.75 times the 100-day moving averages' 20-day average true range (ATR), after spending at least 80% of the previous two weeks and 80% of the prior 42 trading sessions above that trendline. This setup has appeared 13 other times over the last decade, after which the stock was higher one month later 77% of the time, averaging a 10.3% gain.
Short interest represents 10.8% of the stock's available float, and would take shorts over three days to cover at the stock's average pace of trading. A move higher could pressure some of these bearish bettors to exit their positions, creating additional buying power.
Now also looks like a good time to weigh in on ETSY's next move with options. The stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 49% sits in the low 10th percentile of its annual range, suggesting options traders are pricing in relatively low volatility expectations at the moment.

"I don't think you can deny me much longer and I think people will see that soon."
Those are the confident words of Wrexham native Ieuan Davies who has his sights firmly fixed on the UFC.
And with the start he has made to his professional mixed martial arts career, there is no reason he should not feel confident.
The 30-year-old captured the Cage Warriors lightweight ***** le in sublime fashion in June as he stopped Omiel Brown in just 61 seconds with a rear naked choke.
It was the sixth submission victory of the Welshman's career and one he hopes caught UFC president Dana White's eye.

Buffalo Bison 11, Charlotte Knights 4
The Charlotte Knights stumbled to an 11-4 loss to the Buffalo Bisons in a game that remained competitive for five innings before spiraling wildly out of control.
Adisyn Coffey took the mound as an opener for Charlotte, making just his third start of the season. It quickly became the Lenyn Sosa revenge game. The former White Sox infielder greeted Coffey with a leadoff solo shot in the top of the third. Coffey retired the next two hitters, but a single and an RBI double followed, giving Buffalo a 2-0 edge.
The Knights answered in the bottom half of the inning. Rikuu Nishida drew a two-out walk, and Riley Unroe brought him home with a triple to trim the deficit to one.
After Peyton Pallette got the final out of the third inning, Huascar Brazobán followed Coffey and turned in a successful inning of rehab work, surrendering only one hit in a scoreless fourth. Tanner McDougal took over in the fifth and faced the minimum, setting the stage for Charlotte to pull even in the bottom half when Junior Perez launched a solo shot to knot the score at 2-2.
Unfortunately, that was as good as the night would get for the Knights.

American government borrowing costs have risen to a three-year high after a $6bn (£4.4bn) bond market intervention disappointed investors.
The US treasury said on Wednesday it would buy back $6bn in government debt as Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, tries to suppress high bond yields.
However, the intervention underwhelmed investors and yields rose after the announcement. The interest rate on benchmark 10-year Treasuries rose to 4.85pc, the highest level since late 2023. The cost to borrow over 20 and 30 years also rose sharply.
The jump is a setback for Mr Bessent and Donald Trump, who have both sought to combat a sharp recent rise in US borrowing costs that has put pressure on the White House's economic plans.
It will also likely raise concerns that the global bond sell-off seen last week could reignite.
