Saint Peter's, Fairleigh Dickinson and Maryland-Baltimore County — three schools that have taken March Madness by storm at various points in the past decade — have declined to opt in to college sports' new revenue sharing model. The newly formed College Sports Commission, which oversees revenue sharing followingthe House settlement, posteda list of schoolsthat have opted into revenue sharing. All members of the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference are participating, and other Division I schools had to opt in or out by June 30. Saint Peter's, which reached the men's Elite Eight as a No. 15 seed in 2022, did not opt in. Iona and Manhattan, who play with Saint Peter's in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, didn't either. UMBC and Fairleigh Dickinson, the only two teams to pull off a 16-over-1 upset in the men's basketball tournament, opted out as well. Fairleigh Dickinson is part of the Northeast Conference, which had just one school — Long Island University — opt in. "It's expensive to opt in," Idaho athletic director Terry Gawlik toldthe Lewiston Tribune. "We don't have that kind of money to pay for that." Idaho is one of several Big Sky schools opting out. In addition to the costs of sharing revenue directly with athletes, Title IX concerns and scholarship limitations are among the reasons a schoolmight opt out. "Revenue sharing and scholarship limits are really one piece, but the big thing for us is the roster limitation," Central Arkansas athletic director Matt Whiting toldthe Arkansas Democrat-Gazettewhile explaining his school's decision to opt out. Military rules prevent Navy, Air Force, and Army from compensating athletes through name, image and likeness deals, but aside from them, the Football Bowl Subdivision leagues have full participation in the settlement. Other conferences with all full members opting in included the Atlantic 10, Big East, Coastal Athletic, Horizon, Missouri Valley, Southwestern Athletic, Western Athletic and West Coast. The Big West had everyone opt in except Cal Poly and UC Davis, which play football in the Big Sky. Nebraska-Omaha is the lone full member of the Summit League to opt out, and Tennessee State is the only full Ohio Valley member to do so. The Ivy League said in January that its eight schools — which do not award athletic scholarships — wouldnot participate. The Patriot League didn't have any full members opt in either, although Fordham, Georgetown and Richmond — associate members who play football in that conference — did. Of the 68 schools that made the NCAA men's basketball tournament last year, only American, Nebraska-Omaha, Saint Francis and Yale have opted out of revenue sharing. Five schools that made the women's tournament opted out: Columbia, Fairleigh Dickinson, Harvard, Lehigh and Princeton. Commissioners of historically Black conferences haveexpressed concernthat the push to make athletes school employees could potentially destroy athletic programs — but the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and Southwestern Athletic Conference had everyone opt in except North Carolina Central. Some schools that don't play Division I football or basketball opted in — such as Johns Hopkins with its storied lacrosse program. Augusta University, which is located in the same town as the Masters and perhaps unsurprisingly competes in Division I in golf, was on the list of teams opting in. ___ AP sports:https://apnews.com/sports

Jets make Sauce Gardner the NFL's highest-paid cornerback with a $120.4M extension, AP source saysNew Foto - Jets make Sauce Gardner the NFL's highest-paid cornerback with a $120.4M extension, AP source says

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets are making Sauce Gardner the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. The Jets and Gardner agreed on a four-year, $120.4 million extension through the 2030 season, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the agreement had not been announced. Gardner took to social media to report "THE DEAL IS DONE" and thank his agents for making that happen. "This only the beginning,"Gardner posted. "I appreciate the Jets organization for believing in me, my teammates for the blood, sweat (and) tears we put in." The contract paying the two-time All-Pro an average of $30.1 million a year comes a day after theJets agreed to a lucrative extension with top wide receiver Garrett Wilson. That deal with Wilson is worth $130 million, as the organization locked up two foundational players for the long-term future. Gardner, who turns 25 before Week 1, was the No. 4 pick in the 2022 draft out of Cincinnati. He established himself as one of the league's top cornerbacks during his first two professional seasons, including being selected theAP Defensive Rookie of the Year. After a down year by his standards,he is out to prove naysayers wrong, saying he has always felt like an underdog. Gardner opted to participate in mandatory minicamp rather than hold out to try to push for a new deal. After recently declining to say whether he wanted to be the richest player at the position, Gardner now has that distinction. "Man, I just wanted to show my teammates, show the coaches how much I'm bought into this," Gardner said. "I want to win. I want to change the organization. I want to be a part of changing the organization." The Jets have the longest active playoff drought in the NFL, dating to a trip to the AFC championship game in the 2010 season. The organization hopes the new regime ofgeneral manager Darren Mougeyandcoach Aaron Glenn— himself a three-time Pro Bowl cornerback in his playing days — can lead a successful turnaround. ___ AP Pro Football Writer Dennis Waszak Jr. contributed to this report. ___ AP NFL:https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Snubbed by Emmys! 'Squid Game,' Steve Martin shut out in nominationsNew Foto - Snubbed by Emmys! 'Squid Game,' Steve Martin shut out in nominations

TheEmmysgiveth, and they taketh away. While plenty of stars were celebrating after the2025 Emmy nominationswere announced Tuesday, July 15, there were inevitably some deserving and celebrated actors and TV shows left out when Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song readthe list of nominees. They'll be stuck sitting at home in pajamas on TV's biggest night. While Martin Short gets to check off his yearly nod for Hulu's"Only Murders in the Building,"his costars Steve Martin andSelena Gomezdidn't have the same luck. And"Paradise,"Hulu's post-apocalyptic thriller starring Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden, surprised with major drama category nods, likely pushing out previous nominees including "Yellowjackets,""Squid Game"and "The Handmaid's Tale." This year's Emmy Awards celebrate shows that aired or streamed between June 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025 (meaning those "The Bear" nominations are forlast year's third season, not thejust-dropped Season 4). It's been a big year for TV, with heavy hitters like"Handmaid's" saying goodbyeand buzzy new shows likeHBO Max's"The Pitt" saying hello. The ceremony will air live Sunday, Sept. 14, 8 ET/5 PT on CBS (and stream on Paramount+),hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze. 2025 Emmy nominees:See the full list Here are the most jaw-dropping and shocking stars and TV shows to miss out on nominations for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. The trio is missing two-thirds of its comedic power. Hulu's "Only Murders" has been an Emmy mainstay since its 2021 premiere, with each of its three leads − Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez − grabbing at least one acting nomination over the four seasons that have streamed so far. But only Short has been nominated for all four of those seasons, and he's the only actor who made the cut this year. Almost universally acclaimed by critics, Disney+'s mature "Star Wars" series "Andor" got a well-deserved nomination for best drama series. But the show's star Diego Luna couldn't break into a crowded best drama actor category that included talented actors likePedro Pascal, Noah Wyle, Gary Oldman, Adam Scott and Sterling K. Brown. Luna's supremely talented "Andor" costars Stellan Skarsgård and Genevieve O'Reilly didn't make it into the supporting categories, either. Apparently there's only room for one British spy show in the hearts and minds of the Emmy voters. While Apple TV+'s delightful "Slow Horses" managed to get recognized in several categories for another consecutive year, Netflix breakout "Black Doves" wasn't quite as fortunate. Star Keira Knightley was on many prediction lists for the lead actress category, but she ended up as a spy left out in the cold. The Netflix juggernaut was an Emmy darling in its first season, garnering a best drama series nomination and a trophy for star Lee Jung-jae in 2022. But the second season of the series, which streamed in December 2024, couldn't score a nod in a single category any more than the "Squid" characters could make it out of "Red Light, Green Light." Natasha Lyonne might need to work on her personal poker face. Although she received a nomination for her role as the lie-detecting accidental detective Charlie Cale in Peacock's "Poker Face" in its first season, she didn't make the list for her Season 2 performance. But the series did manage two nods overall, including one for "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo, who used her acting magic to play quintuplets in the Season 2 premiere of "Poker." Once a big presence at the Emmys, the series' third season didn't garner a single nod, not for previously nominated star Melanie Lynskey or the show itself. The first two seasons each were nominated for the night's top prize: outstanding drama series. HBO's "Somebody Somewhere" is a quiet but superlative comedy about small-time life in Kansas that finished out a fantastic three-season run last fall. The Television Academy has finally caught up to its brilliance this year, nominating Jeff Hiller for supporting actor in a comedy and the show for a comedy writing award. But that leaves the series' star, Bridget Everett, behind. The creative success and emotional effect of "Somebody" is entirely contingent on the actress' nuanced performance. Thebest show of 2024didn't get the Emmy love it deserved. While "Disclaimer," Apple TV+'s twisty limited series from "Gravity" and "Roma" director Alfonso Cuarón, managed two nominations overall − for star Cate Blanchett and cinematography − the show should have been showered in nominations. The immersive series was a contender for best limited series and was competitive in additional acting races, primarily in supporting actor with Sacha Baron Cohen. Not since 2012 has NBC's chair-swiveling singing competition been left off the list of the best reality competition of the year, but it's been edged out in 2025 in favor of series like Peacock's "The Traitors."

The talk show host went on to say that her kids didn't just have their parents and siblings as their village. Instead, they have people all across America and in Canada "raising them in some way."

Trey Smith agrees to 4-year, $92 million extension with Chiefs to become highest-paid guard in NFL: ReportsNew Foto - Trey Smith agrees to 4-year, $92 million extension with Chiefs to become highest-paid guard in NFL: Reports

Kansas City Chiefs right guard Trey Smith reportedly agreed to a four-year, $92 million extension with the team on Tuesday. After his first Pro Bowl nod in 2024, Smith has now become the highest-paid guard in NFL history, protecting MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes. On Tuesday,Adam Schefterreported that the new deal includes $70 million in guaranteed money. Schefter also added that Smith is receiving the highest annual salary and guaranteed money for the position. The former Super Bowl Champions secured Smith's services hours ahead of the 4 p.m. ET franchise tag deadline. Smith would have been limited to a one-year deal in 2025 if the Chiefs had missed the deadline. Mahomes himself expressed his excitement with an emoji on X (formerly Twitter) after reposting the NFL'soriginal reportthat Smith and the Chiefs came to terms on an extension: 😁 — Patrick Mahomes II (@PatrickMahomes)July 15, 2025 Kansas City placed thenon-exclusive franchise tagon Smith, worth $23.4 million, earlier this offseason. The non-exclusive franchise tag, unlike the exclusive franchise tag, permitted Smith to negotiate with other teams and sign an offer sheet. The Chiefs would then have an opportunity to match any offer sheet that Smith signed. If they failed to match a signed offer sheet, they would receive draft compensation in the form of two first-round picks from the signing team. No such deal came into play, however. Despite the delay in coming to a long-term deal, Smith did report for the team's mandatory minicamp in June —a move praisedby teammate and All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones. Jones himself was at the center of a contract dispute with the organization back in 2023, which The Athleticestimatedcost him just under $4 million in fines. "It's good Trey didn't take my approach. Trey is doing the right thing ... Franchise tag is like $25 million, right? That's the big bucks," Jonesjokedwith reporters. Jones missed all of training camp, the NFL preseason andWeek 1 of the regular seasonbefore coming to terms on anew one-year dealreportedly worth up to $25 million. The Chiefs drafted Smith in the sixth round in 2021 and signed him to a four-year deal worth $3.61 million, including a $130,708 signing bonus. As a rookie, Smith played 100% of the Chiefs' offensive snaps. He's since started inall but oneregular-season game for Kansas City, with two Super Bowl rings and a 2024 Pro Bowl selection. Pro Football FocuscreditsSmith with just a single sack allowed during that Pro Bowl campaign. Before the NFL, Smith was a two-time first-team and one-time second-team All-SEC player at Tennessee.

Rays playoff games would be at minor league park, MLB commissioner saysNew Foto - Rays playoff games would be at minor league park, MLB commissioner says

TheTampa Bay Rayswill host any 2025 MLB playoff games at their temporary home of George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, commissioner Rob Manfred acknowledged Tuesday, July 15. Speaking to reporters in Atlanta on the afternoon of the All-Star Game, Manfred acknowledged concerns that have been raised aboutthe stadium's capacity of just over 11,000being far smaller than any other potential playoff site. But he cut off speculation that the Rays could move to a larger park in another location for the postseason. "Our rule has always been that people play in their home stadiums during the World Series. And I'm not of a mind to change that rule,"Manfred told the Tampa Bay Times. "I understand it's a unique situation. It's different, but that's where they're playing. That's where they're going to play their games." RAYS SALE:Owner Stuart Sternberg agrees to $1.7 billion deal, per report According toa report last month in The Athletic, there would be few issues with the Rays hosting a wild card or divisional playoff game at Steinbrenner Field. However, if the team reached the AL championship series or the World Series, the scarcity of seats would create a number of problems for MLB. The league office holds thousands of tickets for the LCS and World Series in reserve for a variety of participants and stakeholders. The reduced gate receipts would cut significantly into the players' share of the postseason revenue. And the networks broadcasting the games wouldn't have the usual amount of space and access needed to provide expanded coverage. With a record of 50-47 at the All-Star break, the Rays are in fourth place in the AL East division, 5 ½ games behind theToronto Blue Jays. They are fourth in the AL wild-card race, 1 ½ games behind theSeattle Marinersfor the AL's third and final wild-card berth. Manfred said construction is on track to have Tropicana Field ready for the Rays' 2026 season opener. He added that contingencies are in place, however, if the stadium is not ready by opening day.
