UNC says the NCAA has denied appeal efforts for Walker’s immediate eligibility

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:46:24 GMT

The NCAA has denied North Carolina’s appeal efforts for immediate eligibility for transfer receiver Devontez Walker, a decision that led to criticism Thursday from both Tar Heels coach Mack Brown and athletic director Bubba Cunningham.The school announced the decision less than a week after Walker roamed the sideline but didn’t play during the 17th-ranked Tar Heels’ season-opening victory against South Carolina. Brown went public last month about the school’s efforts to appeal the NCAA’s decision denying a waiver allowing the Kent State transfer to play immediately.In announcing the decision, Brown capped a lengthy and blunt statement this way: “Shame on you, NCAA. SHAME ON YOU!”NCAA rules generally allow players to transfer freely once, but the association regards Walker as a two-time transfer because he enrolled at North Carolina Central before ending up at Kent State. The Eagles didn’t play football because of the COVID-19 pandemic during Walke...

SYDNEY (AP) — Nigerian-born New Zealander Israel Adesanya will have some Southern Hemisphere support when he takes on American title challenger Sean Strickland in the main event of UFC 293 on Sunday.The fight at Sydney Olympic Park’s Qudos Bank Arena — across the Tasman Sea from Adesanya’s base in New Zealand — will give the middleweight champion an opportunity to add a submission, or tap out, to his fight results repertoire.A submission sees an opponent verbally concede the match due to pain or to avoid further injury. Adesanya’s 26 professional mixed martial arts fights include 16 wins by knockout and eight via decision (along with two losses), but none by submission.“What do I want in my career? Submission, I definitely want a submission,” Adesanya told media this week. “It might be this fight. I know he’s going to wrestle. He’d be dumb not to. I know he’s going to try and mix it up. He’s doing this whole thing, ‘Man dance, man dance.’”It’s the first time since ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Jawhar Jordan and Jamari Thrash each scored two touchdowns, and Louisville used a slew of explosive plays to dominate Murray State 56-0 on Thursday night for its first shutout in nearly three years.

Plummer later hit a wide-open Jordan for 32 yards to the 12, and Thrash took a pitch on the next snap and dashed untouched for the TD to cap a six-play, 76-yard drive.Jordan, Louisville’s top rusher last season with 815 yards, carried seven times for 135 yards, includi...

Colombia gana por la mínima a Venezuela y comienza con buen pie su camino al Mundial

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 03:46:24 GMT

(CNN Español) –– El partido que disputaron Colombia y Venezuela este jueves en Barranquilla, por la primera fecha de las eliminatorias sudamericanas al Mundial de 2026, tuvo todos los ingredientes de las primeras citas: mucho nerviosismo, poca claridad (en el caso de Colombia, para encontrar la forma de plasmar en el terreno la idea de juego del seleccionador Néstor Lorenzo), escasa compenetración y varias equivocaciones que se pudieron pagar caro. Pero los cafeteros tenían enfrente a Venezuela, la única selección de Conmebol que todavía no ha podido asistir a un Mundial y que demostró que aún le falta mucho para dar ese paso.Colombia tenía una deuda consigo misma. La selección quedó afuera de la última Copa del Mundo por errores propios. La falta de gol ––encadenó siete partidos sin anotar en el camino a Qatar 2022–– condenó a sus muy buenos futbolistas a mirar el Mundial por televisión. Quizás por eso Lorenzo no quiso perder tiempo. Después de una primera parte en la que Venezuela...
