Why didn’t Michigan football get a postseason ban?

Sport 2 Mins Read

  • Michigan received four-year probation and hefty fines for its sign-stealing scandal.
  • The NCAA decided against handing Michigan a postseason ban, citing it would unfairly punish current players for actions of former staff.
  • Michigan’s 2023 national championship was not vacated.

Michigan football received several punishments and fines by the NCAA for its sign-stealing scandal, but one thing the Wolverines did avoid was a postseason ban.

The penalties, announced on Aug. 15, included a four-year probation for the program, as well as various fines that in total, are expected to be around $30 million. Also included are show-cause orders to coach Sherrone Moore, former off-field analyst Connor Stalions and former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.

Yet, one thing the college football world awaited was whether a postseason ban would be placed, given the severity of the violations and it being done to other programs before. The NCAA did state there were ‘sufficient grounds’ to impose a postseason ban, so why wasn’t one placed?

Why didn’t Michigan football get a postseason ban?

The NCAA noted in its 74-page report that since Michigan was a ‘repeat violator,’ a postseason ban was required in the case, and a multi-year ban was appropriate.

However, the NCAA determined any type of postseason ban ‘would unfairly penalize student-athletes for the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer associated with the Michigan football program.’

‘Thus, a more appropriate penalty is an offsetting financial penalty,’ the report reads.

Instead, Michigan will have a ‘fine equivalent to the anticipated loss of all postseason competition revenue sharing associated with the 2025 and 2026 football seasons.’ 

COI representatives Kay Norton and Norman Bay were asked if a postseason ban been issued if Harbaugh was still coaching the Wolverines, and they declined to answer on the grounds it would be speculative.

Was Michigan’s national championship vacated?

No. The Wolverine did not vacate the 2023 national championship they won that season, and no wins were stripped.

Titans rookie QB Cam Ward gets another solid grade vs. Atlanta

Sport 3 Mins Read

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, was back on the field Friday night in NFL preseason action.

The top quarterback taken in this year’s draft took the field for the second time in the preseason following his debut last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ward completed 5-of-8 passes for 67 yards in that contest as the Titans lost 29-7 on the road.

Tennessee played on the road again Friday in another matchup with an NFC South foe: the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta lost its preseason opener 17-10 against the Detroit Lions.

Ward played three series for the Titans before backup Brandon Allen took over halfway through the second quarter. Here’s how the No. 1 overall pick played Friday night:

Cam Ward grade: Titans rookie QB makes impressive throws

This is a case in which the overall stat line doesn’t tell the full story of how Ward played. His night ended in the second quarter after he completed just 2-of-7 passes for 42 yards. Considering his line from the Buccaneers game, that appears to be a regression from his debut.

But Ward made multiple good throws, specifically on the Titans’ opening drive.

On second-and-6 from his own 10-yard line, Ward took the snap from the shotgun and rolled out to his right before finding fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor on a crossing route 20 yards downfield. Ayomanor was pushed out of bounds for a gain of 35 yards.

Ward’s next pass sailed out of bounds deep for Van Jefferson but running back Kalel Mullings was called for holding and the Titans offense was pushed back anyways.

His next throw on second-and-13 was his best of the night. Ward took the snap from shotgun again and stepped up to layer a throw over multiple Falcons defenders to Jefferson. The veteran wideout couldn’t hold on and the pass fell incomplete.

Ward’s next throw was a sidearm shot towards rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike but it fell incomplete to force a punt.

On the next drive, Ward ended the quarter with a swing pass to Ayomanor that ultimately counted as a rushing attempt by the rookie wide receiver. Ward’s next throw came on third-and-13 and he missed Dike on a low throw over the middle with pressure up the middle from Falcons defenders.

Ward took the field for the Titans’ third series on offense and missed Ayomanor on first-and-10 from his own 21-yard line. He threw it too high for the rookie wide receiver but kept it out of reach of any nearby defenders.

He made his second and final completion of the night on the next play to wide receiver Bryce Oliver, who took the short pass seven yards to set up third-and-3. Ward couldn’t connect with Ayomanor on a fade from the slot as Ayomanor faced physical coverage from Falcons cornerback Dee Alford.

Grade: B+

Ward made good decisions and showed good touch on most of his throws. If not for a bad drop by Jefferson and questionable contact by Alford, Ward’s stats would look much different. He avoided pressure, layered the ball well and made the right decision on most of his seven throws.

Gold Majors Ride Price Surge to Strong Q2 Earnings

Investing 4 Mins Read

The world’s top gold producers delivered a string of robust second-quarter results, buoyed by record prices and resilient operations as investors continue to seek refuge in the yellow metal amid growing economic uncertainty.

With spot gold trading above US$3,400 per troy ounce, just shy of its April all-time high of US$3,448.50, the world’s largest gold producers posted higher earnings and stronger cash flow in their recent Q2 results.

Below is a breakdown of how a few major players fared in Q2.

Barrick nearly doubles profit margins

Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B) formerly Barrick Gold, reported a 97 percent year-on-year jump in net income to US$1.25 billion for the quarter, compared to US$634 million a year earlier.

Earnings per share rose to US$0.47 while operating cash flow in the first half reached US$2.5 billion, up 32 percent from 2024. Free cash flow more than doubled to US$770 million, supported by higher commodity prices.

Gold production climbed 5 percent from the first quarter, while copper output surged 34 percent, led by strong performance at Zambia’s Lumwana mine. Nevada Gold Mines boosted output by 11 percent, while Pueblo Viejo in the Dominican Republic posted a 28 percent increase as expansion work in the site advanced.

“From the ramp-up at Goldrush to the progress at Pueblo Viejo, Lumwana and Reko Diq, not to mention the transformational potential of Fourmile, we’re demonstrating the strength and depth of our portfolio,” president and chief executive Mark Bristow said in the recent Q2 report.

The company also recently agreed to sell its Alturas Project in Chile to a Boroo subsidiary for US$50 million upfront plus a royalty, with proceeds earmarked for funding future ventures

Kinross outpaces gold price gains

Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX:K,NYSE:KGC) posted record attributable free cash flow of US$646.6 million in the second quarter, alongside operating cash flow of US$992.4 million. Adjusted net earnings jumped to US$541 million from US$174.7 million a year earlier.

Further, the company achieved a 21 percent margin increase from the first quarter, outpacing the 15 percent rise in gold prices over the same period.

“Our portfolio of mines continued to perform well during the quarter contributing to a strong first half of the year and positioning us well to achieve our full-year guidance,” CEO J. Paul Rollinson said.

Kinross said that it expects to produce 2 million gold-equivalent ounces in 2025 at an average production cost of US$1,120 per ounce.

Paracatu in Brazil was the company’s top-producing asset, while Tasiast in Mauritania began mining the Fennec satellite deposit. US-based Bald Mountain also reported higher output at lower costs.

The company also advanced key projects, including its Great Bear exploration program in Ontario, engineering work at Round Mountain Phase X in Nevada, and drilling at the Curlew Basin project in Washington.

Agnico Eagle delivers, shares gain

Agnico Eagle’s (TSX:AEM,NYSE:AEM) operational consistency and cost control helped drive a six-day share price rally, culminating in a 10.06 percent gain over the past week.

In the second quarter, the company produced 866,029 ounces of gold, maintaining full-year guidance of 3.3 to 3.5 million ounces. Adjusted earnings per share came in at US$1.94, prompting analysts to raise 2025 profit forecasts by US$0.70 to US$6.94.

Analysts cited the company’s steady performance despite rising unit costs, noting its appeal as a defensive play in the sector. Bank of America raised its price target to US$173 due to rising optimism about the firm’s growth prospects.

Newmont rides sector momentum

Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) posted higher sales and net income for the quarter while authorizing a new share repurchase program and declaring a quarterly dividend.

The miner also renewed a key lease in Ghana. Shares rose 36 percent over the last quarter, outpacing the US Metals and Mining industry’s 24.1 percent return.

The performance came despite a drop in the company’s gold production. Rather, Newmont underscored the role of shareholder returns and strategic asset moves in supporting investor sentiment. Over the past three years, Newmont has delivered a total shareholder return of 63.75 percent.

Gold outlook: Gold shines during volatility

The sector’s strong quarter unfolded against a favorable macro backdrop.

Gold, which has gained about 30 percent year-to-date, has been buoyed by safe-haven flows. The metal’s latest rally began after spot prices dipped to US$3,311.80 in early August, then climbed back above US$3,418 by the first week of August..

The Federal Reserve cut rates by a full percentage point in late 2024 but has held steady this year, citing the need for more data on how tariffs affect inflation. Lower rates generally enhance gold’s appeal by reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets..

Securities Disclosure: I, Giann Liguid, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.

With new networks on board, NBA rolls out 2025-26 national TV schedule

Sport 4 Mins Read

With new TV partners for the NBA, massive intrigue in the stacked Western conference and a wide-open Eastern conference, the league is cannonballing into the 2025-26 season.

Starting with opening night on NBC on Oct. 21, followed by two nights of games on ESPN and then a Friday night on Amazon Prime, marquee players, fascinating matchups and championship contenders will be featured on the NBA’s national TV schedule, which was released Thursday, Aug. 14.

NBC rejoins coverage of the league after a two-decade absence, and Amazon Prime gets its first shot at NBA games as part of the NBA’s new, 11-year, $76 billion TV deal. ESPN/ABC remains part of the league’s coverage as well.

Here are unique details of the NBA’s 2025-26 schedule:

What to know about the 2025-26 NBA schedule

This season, there are 247 national TV games, up from 172 in 2024-25.

As part of the new TV deal, in general, Monday NBA games are on Peacock; Tuesday on NBC; Wednesday on ESPN; Thursday on Prime Video; Friday on Prime Video and ESPN; Saturday on Prime Video in the afternoon and ABC at night; and Sunday on ABC in the afternoon and NBC at night.

ESPN and ABC also have the five Christmas games plus the NBA Finals.

Prime Video will feature doubleheaders on Fridays and stream the quarterfinals, semifinals and final of the NBA Cup and all six play-in games.

NBC and Peacock kick off the season with two games on Oct. 21 and will air the four Martin Luther King Jr. Day games. NBC and Peacock are also home to NBA All-Star Weekend events, including All-Star Saturday night and the All-Star Game on Feb. 15.

The NBA will play games on Election Day, Novermber 4, this season – which it did not do in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Each team has at least two national TV games with the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors appearing on 34 national TV games.

The average number of back-to-back games for each team is 14.4, a tad down from 14.9 back-to-backs per team in 2024-25. No team has more than 16 back-to-backs, and a team will play never play the day before games during opening-week national TV games; all Emirates NBA Cup games; all Christmas games; the four-game Peacock/NBC schedule on Martin Luther King Jr. Day; the 10-game ABC Saturday schedule and eight-game ABC Sunday schedule; and the 11-game NBC Sunday schedule.

The NBA plans to launch a digital feature that will make it easier for fans to watch and stream games through NBA.com, the NBA app, team platforms and partner sites.

Making a return

Offseason moves once again altered the NBA landscape. Here are a few notable players who will visit their former team for the first time in 2025-26:

  • Khris Middleton was traded from the Bucks to the Washington Wizards last season but will play at Milwaukee for the first time since that trade on Oct. 22. He was part of the Bucks’ 2021 championship.
  • The Houston Rockets’ big new addition, Kevin Durant, plays at Phoenix on Nov. 24.
  • Myles Turner left Indiana and signed with the Bucks in free agency and will return to play the Pacers on Nov. 3.
  • Boston traded Jrue Holiday, who helped the Celtics win the title in 2024, to Portland, and Holiday and the Blazers play at Boston on Jan. 26. Two days later on Jan. 28, Kristaps Porzingis, who also won a title with the Celtics in 2024, returns to Boston as a member of the Atlanta Hawks.
  • Michael Porter Jr. won a title with Denver in 2023, but the Nuggets traded him to Brooklyn in the offseason. The Nets travel to Denver for a Jan. 29 game.
  • Brook Lopez, like Middleton, was a key figure on Milwaukee’s 2021 title squad, and he undoubtedly will receive a warm welcome when the Clippers play at Milwaukee on March 29.

Must-see NBA games in 2025-26

The 1,230-game schedule from Oct. 21 through April 12 is loaded with quality games. We take a look at the 25 games you can’t miss, including Houston at Oklahoma City on opening night and the Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State in the final week of the regular season.

Premier League title odds: Championship odds for 2025-26

Sport 2 Mins Read

The 2025-26 Premier League season is set to kick off, with some of the world’s biggest teams vying to win what is generally regarded as the strongest domestic soccer league on the planet.

Liverpool ended up comfortably claiming last season’s title, finishing the campaign with a 10-point edge on Arsenal. The Reds have not rested on their laurels this summer, spending big to add Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitiké to an offense that scored 14 more goals than any other Premier League team last season.

That said, Mohamed Salah and Co. can expect a tougher campaign this time. Arsenal let themselves down in the season’s final third, throwing away points on several occasions, while Manchester City expects much more once Rodri — their irreplaceable midfielder who missed nearly all of the last season due to a torn ACL — makes his return to full fitness.

Club World Cup champions Chelsea should also be a more consistently formidable force this season, while teams like Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur aim for better performances after some recent struggles.

Here are championship odds for the 2025-26 Premier League season:

Premier League championship odds: 2025-26 favorites

Odds via BetMGM on Thursday, Aug. 14:

  • Liverpool: +175

LOOK: Damar Hamlin’s tattoo tells story of cardiac arrest

Sport 2 Mins Read

Behind every tattoo is a story – and Damar Hamlin’s is a doozy.

The Buffalo Bills safety is showing off some new ink ahead of the 2025 NFL season, which will be his second since suffering cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati.

His new art, created by famed tattoo artist Ganga, which covers Hamlin’s entire back, works to convey everything about the happenings on the field from that January day.

When Hamlin woke up following the near-fatal incident, he famously asked, ‘Did we win?’

Those words are featured prominently on Hamlin’s back, surrounded by a ‘Monday Night Football’ logo along with words of encouragement and a ‘Pray for Damar’ flag. Ganga also added a Paycor Stadium element to the entire display, which was famously the site of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest.

Coupled with plenty of No. 3’s, the tattoo managed to accomplish just about every element of the incident.

Hamlin’s heart stopped after making a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals on ‘Monday Night Football’ on Jan. 2, 2023. He briefly got up and then fell to the ground, prompting a rush of medical personnel onto the field. After providing CPR, Hamlin was loaded onto a stretcher and into an ambulance.

The game was suspended and postponed.

In the meantime, Hamlin spent time on a ventilator before being able to talk to his family and breathe on his own on Jan. 6.

It was an unforgettable moment in NFL history, one that Hamlin would never forget, especially. Now he has the entire story on his back.
