The Big 12 is taking a measured approach to the Brendan Sorsby ruling. There will be no immediate action; instead, the conference is following a set process starting with today’s AD call. The executive board will then convene on Thursday to weigh in on the next steps.

After 12 seasons of unparalleled consistency, Cleveland Browns guard Joel Bitonio has officially announced his retirement from the NFL. A career-long Brown, Bitonio finishes his tenure with 178 starts—the most of any player in the team's modern era. A 7x Pro Bowler and 2x First-Team All-Pro, he leaves behind a legacy defined by durability, loyalty, and elite-level professionalism.

​"I started the job here, and once I got to a certain point, I knew I wanted to finish the job in Cleveland," Bitonio wrote in his farewell statement. "Now that job is finished."

Big Ten Weighs League-Wide Scheduling Ban on Texas Tech
​The Big Ten Conference is reportedly considering a formal, league-wide mandate prohibiting all member institutions from scheduling Texas Tech in any sport. According to three conference sources, officials are expected to discuss this measure in the coming days.

The Bears’ Arlington Heights stadium bill is currently short of the votes needed to pass the Illinois legislature. With only 11 hours remaining in the session, the clock is ticking on a deal. If an agreement isn't reached by the deadline, the Bears are expected to shift their focus to Hammond, Indiana, as their primary site for a new stadium.

BEARS STADIUM BOMBSHELL: Illinois vs. Indiana? 🐻🏟️

​Bears CEO Kevin Warren says the new stadium could be in Illinois OR Indiana. The border-state threat is officially real.

​Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker countered, signaling state tax & infrastructure money could happen, but it looks like a two-way race:

​🔹 Arlington Heights (IL): The massive suburban football & infrastructure project.

🔹 Hammond (IN): The major border-town wild card.

​The battle for the new home of the Bears is officially a multi-state war. Huge stadium development incoming! 🔥
