Tennessee players co-design a model of what collective bargaining could look like in college sports A group representing college athletes has partnered with Tennessee basketball players to propose a detailed collective-bargaining agreement for college sports. Released by Athletes.org , this model has support from school leadership and outlines guidelines for player compensation, the transfer portal and academics. DeWayne Brown III, a freshman player, says the process is a steppingstone for more athletes. Supporters, including Tennessee's athletic director, believe it could save the financially pressured college sports industry. Opponents argue it might bankrupt athletic departments. The proposal suggests a centralized employer model, similar to Major League Soccer, to streamline player payments. McIlroy says DeChambeau brings eyeballs to golf. To be determined is where he is seen Rory McIlroy once described Bryson DeChambeau as performative. That now sounds more like a compliment as DeChambeau figures out his future without LIV Golf. DeChambeau has delivered plenty of antics. One of those moments was at the British Open this summer when he was penalized two shots. McIlroy says DeChambeau brings eyeballs to golf both good and bad. He says that could be a benefit for the European tour. DeChambeau has until Sunday to decide whether to take up European tour membership. It's otherwise unclear where he can play competitive golf outside of the four major championships. Rise in quarterback injuries leading to drop in point totals for Big Ten games this season The addition of four former Pac-12 teams was supposed to bring some offensive firepower to the Big Ten and change its reputation. It hasn’t quite worked out that way. Scoring in the Big Ten did rise in 2024 after Southern California, UCLA, Oregon and Washington joined a league known more for defense. Point totals went up again last year. But they’ve gone down enough this year that three Big Ten teams already have fired their offensive coordinators. Nebraska dismissed Dana Holgorsen and Michigan fired Jason Beck over the weekend. No. 18 Oregon dumped Drew Mehringer two weeks earlier. Devon Key thought the whistle ended it. Sean Payton’s red flag secured the improbable interception DENVER (AP) — Devon Key's quick thinking led to a crucial improbable interception for the Denver Broncos. During Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, Key grabbed the ball after it bounced off Tommy Tremble's hands and right wrist. Initially, it seemed like the play was over, but Broncos coach Sean Payton challenged the call just in time. Replays confirmed Key's interception, helping Denver secure a 26-21 victory. This win marks the Broncos' 16th consecutive one-score victory, setting an NFL record. Denver has benefited from key officiating calls in several games this season, contributing to their strong 7-2 record.
