AP source: LSU leaves former pros Wright, Harris off opening-day roster
LSU did not place one-time pros Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris on its roster in advance of its season opener, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Friday night.
The move appears to avoid an immediate confrontation with the Southeastern Conference, which had passed a rule forbidding former pros on rosters only to see that rule put on hold by a court in Louisiana.
It means LSU will open its season against Clemson on Saturday night without Wright and Harris — each of whom spent time in NFL training camps this summer — according to the person who spoke to AP. The person did not want to be identified because the school had not released the details publicly.
Both players have said they are enrolled at LSU, which means they could be eligible to be added to the roster later. Legal action is ongoing, with the SEC planning an appeal of the Louisiana ruling and also awaiting word on a federal lawsuit it filed Thursday asking the court to force LSU into following its rules banning pro athletes.
The roster decision marked the latest move in a bizarre, wide-ranging disagreement over something most people used to agree on: that players who had moved on to pro sports from college could not return to college.
Under the rules the SEC passed last week that were subsequently shut down by the Louisiana court, the league could suspend coach Lane Kiffin, fine LSU half its football budget and more if it puts Wright and Harris on the roster.
The case stems from a new NCAA rule that granted five seasons of eligibility for players who started college in 2023. Wright, Harris and dozens of others across the country who started in 2022 have filed lawsuits saying they also deserve a fifth year of eligibility.
Embedded within that argument is whether players among that class who tried out for NFL, NBA or WNBA teams should be able to come back to college and play.
“The SEC’s presidents and chancellors unanimously adopted a clear and reasonable standard: Member universities should not place former professional athletes on their rosters,” the conference said in a statement after Thursday night’s loss in Louisiana court.
In its own statement Friday, LSU said it was reviewing the court’s order and would “continue to work constructively with the SEC and NCAA as this matter moves forward.”
Also chiming in was the College Football Playoff, which came out in support of the rules barring former pros from the college gridiron. It wasn’t a surprising stance, considering virtually all of CFP management is made up of the same school leaders who adopted the rules.
Meanwhile, the LSU decision came hours after Clemson general counsel Chip Hood sent a letter to his LSU counterpart suggesting the eligibility issue is in conflict with the contract between the teams to play. Clemson still plans to show up, though its coach, Dabo Swinney, left little doubt over his feelings earlier in the week.
“I would just say it’s kind of embarrassing,” he said. “I mean, honestly, it’s just embarrassing that that’s where we are. I don’t blame the kids and people trying to take advantage of the system. I just think it’s embarrassing where we are with college football.”

Tadej Pogacar ends season early after Vuelta a Espana crash
Tadej Pogacar has opted to end his season early after crashing out of the Vuelta a Espana, meaning he will miss out on the opportunity to win a straight hat-trick of world titles.
The Slovenian won the rainbow jersey in Zurich in 2024 and defended his title on the most gruelling course in the race’s history in Kigali last year, but will not take to the start line in Montreal at the end of this month.
His absence leaves the door open to the likes of former world champion Remco Evenepoel, Pogacar’s trade teammate Isaac del Toro and French starlet Paul Seixas.
Pogacar’s team, UAE Team Emirates-XRG, announced the news on Saturday alongside confirmation that the 27-year-old has extended his contract with the squad until the end of the 2023 season. He has been with the team since 2019.
It said: “Following his crash at La Vuelta, Tadej will not return to racing this season as he focuses fully on his recovery and rehabilitation.”
Pogacar said: “From the beginning, this team has felt like home to me. We’ve grown together over the years and shared some incredible moments, so I’m very happy to extend my contract through 2032. There is still a lot I want to achieve in this sport, and I believe this is the right place to do it. I’m very grateful for the trust the team has shown in me and excited for what we can continue to build together.”
Pogacar had been aiming to become just the ninth man in history to complete the set of grand tour titles after winning his fifth Tour de France in dominant fashion this summer as well as the 2024 Giro d’Italia.
He was the overwhelming favourite to take victory in Spain and led the race by nearly four minutes before he crashed on an innocuous stretch of road on stage eight, fracturing his collarbone and sustaining a cervical fracture as well as a concussion.
He later underwent successful surgery on the clavicle fracture.
His decision to end his season now also means he will be unable to defend his European title on home soil in Ljubljana next month, as well as meaning he will miss out on the final Monument of the season, Il Lombardia, which he has won a record five consecutive times. No rider has ever won the Italian Classic six times.
Pogacar added: “Right now, the most important thing is to recover properly and give my body the time it needs.”

Steve Clarke needed to give SFA ‘a little shove’ for new contract
Clark added: “Obviously we got to March and I hadn’t been offered a new contract, which I thought was pretty strange. You start to think are they hedging their bets a little bit, waiting on the tournament in the summer.
“So I did a little bit in the media in March to give the SFA a little shove. We negotiated non-stop from the beginning of April really to the middle of May, just before the Curacao game.
“And I said to them if we don’t agree a new contract before we go to the World Cup then I will say I am leaving the job. They panicked a little bit and gave me the new contract.
“It was like drawing teeth trying to get it over the line. But we got it over the line anyway.
“But I always knew in my head that if we did not get out of the group stage then I would probably leave. The only way I would have stayed on is if they had been three fantastic games and they went against you.”
Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 but lost by the same score to Morocco before a 3-0 loss to Brazil left them waiting for an unlikely series of results to allow them to progress as one of the better third-place sides.
“We had to stay for four or five days [in Charlotte], the longest four or five days ever just sitting and waiting, knowing you are going home because the goal difference was not good enough,” he recalled.
“I knew we needed four points. I got hammered in the media for saying that. Somebody hammered me for saying, ‘nah, that’s us, we are going home’. But I was right.”
Clarke revealed he spoke to several senior players following the Brazil game and sensed that they needed to hear a different voice if they are to make history by reaching the knockout stage at Euro 2028.
Meantime, he spoke to new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli last week to wish him well and believes “even Scotland” cannot fail to qualify given two spots in the finals will be reserved for the best-ranked host who have not qualified as a group winner or runner-up.

Italian Grand Prix: Is ‘disruptor’ Kimi Antonelli winning hearts where Ferrari is Formula 1?
When a Ferrari driver triumphs in F1, the team’s spiritual home of Maranello rejoices.
“It’s like the second coming effectively; everyone’s in the streets singing, dancing, church bells are ringing. It’s a party in the streets,” says Adrian Hussain, who is a member of the Scuderia Ferrari Club Silverstone and half-Italian.
Those famous bells last rung out in honour of a Ferrari world champion in 2007, when Finn Kimi Raikkonen won his only title by a single point.
Italy has not produced a world champion driver since Alberto Ascari claimed back-to-back titles for Ferrari in 1952 and 1953. For most Italians, seeing a title winner draped in il Tricolore – for any team on the grid – has been a dream rather than a reality.
But Antonelli’s ascendancy this year has opened the door for Italy to embrace a new hero – even if he does drive for the direct competition.
“Antonelli is disrupting the traditional rules of fandom in Italy,” Giulia Toninelli, a journalist for La Gazzetta dello Sport, Italy’s most widely read sports newspaper, tells BBC Sport.
Toninelli says Antonelli’s “strong personality” has won over the Italian public, especially the younger fanbase. “And the fact that he is racing for Mercedes matters very little to them.”
In the fanzone at Monza, a household is divided. While Alessandro is decked out in Ferrari red, his girlfriend, Emma, is wearing the silver of Mercedes.
“Of course, I am a little bit of a Ferrarista because I’m Italian. But honestly, I love Kimi, I support him,” says Emma.
If Antonelli does win this year’s world title, with the season finale possibly being held at Imola, about 25 miles from where he grew up in Bologna, both Emma and Alessandro agree it would mean “Italy is back on top”.
Five-time MotoGP race winner Marco Melandri and 2012 GP2 series champion and F1 TV’s Davide Valsecchi present the Chiacchiere da Box, external (Paddock Chatter) podcast, where the two ex-racers discuss and analyse everything that’s happened during F1 and MotoGP weekends.
“I think Kimi is living the dream, even of the Italian fans,” says Italian Melandri. “But in Italy, a lot of people are very close to Ferrari, they are pushing for Ferrari. So sometimes they are fighting themselves to understand, to choose who is their favourite driver. But I think Kimi is doing something amazing.”
Compatriot Valsecchi feels the same: “We are loving it. It’s a big surprise for everyone, knowing that an Italian driver, so young, is leading the championship, is driving so well, and is mentally so strong. So, at the moment, everything is perfect for us.”

NCAA: Charles Tiu not ruling Allen Liwag out for Season 102

FILE–College St. Benilde Blazers’ Allen Liwag during Game 2 of the NCAA Season 100 men’s basketball Finals against Mapua Cardinals.–MARLO CUETO/INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Much has been said about Allen Liwag’s status for the College of St. Benilde in the upcoming NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament.
Active consultant Charles Tiu, though, assured the Blazers faithful that they will see the reigning two-time MVP in action for Benilde in Season 102. The only catch is that he’ll be unavailable early in their campaign.
READ: Charles Tiu doesn’t mind ‘tiring’ grind as he steers CSB
“[He] should miss a few games,” Tiu told the Inquirer in a text message on Saturday. “[But] he will play at some point.”
Tiu bared that the 6-foot-6 Liwag got hurt last month but refused to delve into the specifics of the injury, saying he was “not sure of the exact diagnosis.”
Liwag was named MVP for the second straight time last season, averaging 15.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block per game. He led CSB to a finals appearance in Season 100 but was swept by Mapua.
Liwag’s strong showing last season, however, was still not enough to propel the Blazers back into the title round after they were booted out by eventual champion San Beda in the semifinals.
Despite dealing with Liwag’s injury concerns, Benilde remains a Final Four contender with a deep roster that includes Justine Sanchez, Joshua Cajucom, Raffy Celis, Jhomel Ancheta and newcomer Dairick Duterte.

Here’s why AIFF has preponed India vs Panama football match in Bengaluru | Football News
The Indian football team’s international friendly against Panama has been brought forward by a day and will now be played on September 25 at Bengaluru’s Sree Kanteerava Stadium, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) announced on Saturday.
The match was originally scheduled for September 26, as part of India’s three-match friendly series against South American teams, including Brazil and Uruguay. While AIFF has announced the revised date for the fixture, it is yet to announce the reason behind the change.
However, according to media reports, the rescheduling is linked to the Bengaluru Marathon, which is scheduled to be held at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on September 27.
The stadium will serve as both the starting and finishing point of the marathon, creating a scheduling and logistical challenge if the India-Panama match were to be played on September 26.
Why has India vs Panama been moved?
The change is understood to be primarily a venue-management issue. The Sree Kanteerava Stadium has been allotted for the Bengaluru Marathon on September 27. With the stadium being used as the start and finish point, preparations for the event need to be completed ahead of race day.
Holding an international football match on September 26 would leave the organisers with very little time to prepare the stadium and its surrounding areas for the marathon. The football fixture would require its own match-day arrangements, including security, team and broadcast operations, spectator management and other venue infrastructure.
According to a report from news agency PTI, sources said it would be difficult to conduct the football match on September 26 and then prepare the venue for the marathon the following day.
“We are now going to advance the India-Panama match by a day. It will now be held on September 25,” a KSFA source told PTI.
India return to Bengaluru after three years
The Panama fixture will mark India’s return to Bengaluru after a three-year absence. The Indian men’s team last played at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium during the 2023 SAFF Championship. India won the tournament after defeating Kuwait in the final at the same venue.
The return to Bengaluru will also give the Blue Tigers an opportunity to face one of the stronger teams on their international schedule.
Part of a demanding international window
The Panama game is the first of three high-profile friendlies lined up for India during the September-October international period.
India will then travel to Kolkata to face five-time world champions Brazil on October 3 and two-time world champions Uruguay on October 6. Both matches will be played at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan.
India’s preparatory camp for the three fixtures is scheduled to begin in Bengaluru on September 14. The squad is expected to travel to Kolkata on September 28 following the Panama match.
The revised date means India will now have three days between the Panama match and their scheduled travel to Kolkata.
Brazil and Uruguay matches to go on as scheduled
The change affects only the India-Panama fixture. India’s matches against Brazil and Uruguay remain scheduled for October 3 and October 6 respectively in Kolkata.
Brazil will provide India’s biggest test of the window, with the five-time world champions followed by Uruguay, two-time World Cup winners.
The three fixtures give head coach Khalid Jamil’s side an opportunity to face Panama, Brazil and Uruguay — all of whom featured at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. AIFF has described the window as an important opportunity for the Indian team to gain exposure against high-level opposition.
