LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The quiet part about the evolving landscape of name, image and likeness compensation in college athletics was bound to be said out loud, and it wasn't that shocking when Tennessee's athletic department stepped forward, cleared its collective throat and stated the obvious. A week has passed since the school announced a 10% "talent fee" for 2025 football season ticket renewals to help pay its athletes and help the No. 6 Vols attract and keep the best talent. That's in addition to a 4.5% hike that athletic director Danny W...
Louisville coach Jeff Brohm looks forward to being that voice in his player's ear – much like he enjoyed hearing one as an NFL quarterback in the late 1990s. Brohm just didn't expect college football to take 30 years to follow suit with in-helmet communications. "The NFL has used them ever since I played, which was a long time ago," the second-year Cardinals coach recalled. "So it should have been put into place. But I do think it's time, and you've just got to figure out the best way to utilize it." After years of debate over cost and e...
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Northern Kentucky coach Darrin Horn might be looking forward to his team's NCAA Tournament appearance even more than his players. The Norse won their fourth Horizon League championship since 2016-17 but will play in March Madness for the first time since 2019. They also won the league title in 2020, but there was no NCAA Tournament that year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That denied Horn a chance to lead his first NKU squad in the Big Dance, which makes this berth a bit more special. Especially after the Norse let a...
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — So much for all that worry over No. 9 Kansas falling toward a low point under Bill Self. Especially given the Jayhawks' cool, poised response to several gut checks against fellow basketball royalty. Jalen Wilson scored 22 points, including one in a series of huge 3-pointers down the stretch, and held off Kentucky 77-68 on Saturday night in an SEC/Big 12 Challenge. "We had some good, short runs and kept them from going on like a 10-2 run," Self said. "We kept them out of transition and off the glass." The Jayhawks (17-4) s...
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville officials are not happy with the NCAA's decision that mandates the school vacate its 2013 men's basketball championship in the wake of an embarrassing sex scandal and interim President Greg Postel did not hide his disappointment. While acknowledging the scandal was unacceptable, Postel believes the school's cooperation should have counted for more than it did. But Tuesday, Louisville announced that an NCAA appeals panel had upheld sanctions against the men's program. As a result, the Cardinals have to vacate no...
Louisville says the NCAA "abused" its authority when it disciplined the school for a sex scandal that could result in the loss of its 2013 national basketball championship. The school also says in a 68-page appeal released Friday that the governing body imposed "draconian" penalties and ignored the school's self-imposed discipline. Louisville banned itself from the 2016 postseason after its investigation uncovered violations. This is the latest step in a case that began nearly two years ago. Escort Katina Powell alleged in a book that former...
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Second-ranked Kansas missed all of its 3-point attempts in the first half, and still the Jayhawks kept on shooting. That confidence paid off in one of college basketball's toughest, loudest environments. Josh Jackson calmly made consecutive 3-pointers to jumpstart the Jayhawks, Frank Mason III had 21 points and Kansas beat No. 4 Kentucky 79-73 on Saturday night in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge. The Challenge's marquee matchup between college basketball's two winningest programs ended with the Jayhawks earning their second s...
