Eager to lessen the chaos of the transfer portal era and court fights with players trying to extend their careers, the NCAA approved a new eligibility model for Division I athletes on Tuesday that will allow five seasons of competition over a five-year period that begins with their full-time enrollment or the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. The Division I Cabinet unanimously approved the change from the longstanding tenet of college sports that gave athletes five years to complete four seasons of competition with their eligibility clock starting at ...

In the first of two pictures that went along with the posting on X, Anicet Dybantsa Sr. ("Ace") is holding young AJ in front of the White House.

Even with fans against him, Clark proves himself a winner

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Long before he smashed the locker, won a single trophy or had any inkling he'd play in a U.S. Open one day, golf for Wyndham Clark was a test of patience, will and temperament. So, perhaps it's only right that for Clark to sew up his latest, sweetest triumph, he had ...
