NCAA Proposes Severe Tampering Penalties Ahead of April Cabinet Vote

The NCAA Football Oversight Committee urged the Division I Cabinet to adopt emergency legislation to harshly punish schools that add transfer students who did not declare intent in the January portal window. If approved, consequences would include a six‑game head‑coach suspension, a 20% football budget fine, and the elimination of five roster spots for the following season, with immediate effect once enacted. The Cabinet is set to vote in April. The committee also discussed calendar ideas, such as keeping a January portal, allowing some spring practices to move to summer, and potentially starting Week 0 in 2027.

Gophers Rally Past No. 10 Michigan State in Barn Thriller

Minnesota upset No. 10 Michigan State 76-73 at Williams Arena, snapping a seven-game skid and earning their third win over a ranked opponent this season.

Mensah Saga Set to Reshape Miami and Duke's 2026 QB Decisions

Darian Mensah’s fate rests in a Thursday court hearing that could determine whether he can play for Miami in 2026, while Duke has already landed Walker Eget and positions him as their likely 2026 starter—meaning Mensah’s return to Duke appears unlikely. Mensah remains in the transfer portal under a temporary restraining order that bars enrollment elsewhere, and the ruling could force Miami to pivot or keep aggressively pursuing portal targets. Had he joined Miami, his near-4,000-yard, 34-TD season would boost the Hurricanes’ ACC title hopes, and Miami continues to add players such as Damon Wilson II, Vandrevius Jacobs, and Omar Thornton for 2026.
