Connor Stalions' attorney invokes O.J. Simpson while blasting NCAA after he's hit with 8-year show-cause
Connor Stalions' legal team predictably has some complaints about the NCAA's sanctions against him and the Michigan football program. A day after the NCAA announced it was fining the Wolverines an eight-figure sum and hitting Stalions with an eight-year show-cause penalty, Stalions' attorney Brad Beckworth released a 779-word statement blasting the organization for a "vendetta" against his client: He also had plenty of praise for Stalions as a person, adding that Stalions still plans to be involved in football despite the show-cause: "We are not surprised by the NCAA's ruling because the NCAA did, as it has always done, the wrong thing. Based on the penalties laid down today, it is obvious that this whole ordeal was just another, last-ditch effort by the NCAA in its perpetual, petty witch hunt of Coach Harbaugh. Connor was just the vehicle through which the NCAA could give itself the last word in this vendetta. "Connor will be fine. He is a wonderful person. He's smart. He's loyal, dedicated, and determined—traits he carries with him onto the football field from his days serving his country to protect all of us. He loves helping young people learn about life and football. And, regardless of what the NCAA says today, he plans to continue learning about and contributing to the game of football at is highest levels." A show-cause penalty is a requirement that any school who tries to hire the coach in question must justify it to the NCAA. It often acts as a de facto ban from college athletics in the more serious and public cases. Stalions was the central figure in the scandal that nearly consumed Michigan's 2023 championship season. The beats of the story — in which Stalions was alleged to have illegally stolen signs from teams with the knowledge of the Michigan coaching staff — are well known, but Beckworth insisted that the NCAA's handling of the matter compromised its integrity, pointing to the Netflix documentary "Sign Stealer" as the true story: "Connor already won. We knew he was going to be railroaded the moment the NCAA first leaked this story in violation of its own rules. The NCAA decided it would target and punish him in 2023. So, rather than let them ruin his career in silence, he decided to expose the NCAA for the fraud it is in documentary Sign Stealer. Rather than let the NCAA continue to hide in secret, we decided to let the public see the truth for itself. And what the public saw revealed what we already knew to be true: this was a rigged investigation; enveloped in impropriety (namely, a "confidential source" that the NCAA still won't reveal); and all premised on an antiquated rule that the member institutions themselves have tried to eliminate as something that "no longer serve[s] the needs of the membership and the 21st century student-athlete." "The enforcement staff and the NCAA made it very clear that their feelings were hurt when they were exposed on Sign Stealer. But, through that process, the entire country saw the NCAA's investigation for what it was—a sham. The only way to deal with a bully and hypocrite is to expose them to the public and make sure everyone knows exactly what they are trying to do behind closed doors. We did that. We will continue to fight the NCAA anywhere and everywhere we can." He insisted multiple times the case against Stalions would not have passed muster in an actual court room, then took one of the biggest swings possible by pointing to the O.J. Simpson case: "The NCAA claims to be about protecting amateurism in college sports. It does not. The halls of the NCAA headquarters are lined with millions-of-dollars' worth of art paid for on the backs of superstars like Johnny Manziel, Reggie Bush, and the thousands of student athletes who worked for free while the NCAA and its member institutions profited billions. Let's not forget that while the NCAA went after Reggie Bush after he left USC, and took his Heisman away, it let USC continue to proudly display O.J. Simpson's Heisman in Heritage Hall." Stalions was one of four coaches individually sanctioned in the Michigan coach. The others were current head coach Sherrone Moore (hit with an additional one-game suspension and a two-year show-cause), former head coach Jim Harbaugh (10-year show-cause) and former assistant Denard Robinson (three-year show-cause). Stalions' former supervisor Charlie Partridge, who was later fired in relation to the scandal, was cleared in the investigation. Michigan quickly announced it would appeal the ruling. Meanwhile, Beckworth said Stalions is "glad that this process is now behind him," indicating there will be no further action from their side.

Three reasons why Valkyries have evolved into a top 3-point shooting team
CHICAGO — The Golden State Valkyries' offense has flipped a switch, and it starts behind the arc. After an abysmal start to the season from beyond the arc, the Valkyries have posted back-to-back season highs in 3-point shooting. Those came against struggling Washington and Chicago, but Washington entered with the league's best 3-point defense, and Golden State had struggled against everyone prior. In their last 15 games, the Valkyries have shot 36.1% from 3-point range, fourth in the WNBA. Before that: just 29.7%, ranking 12th. What's notable is the volume hasn't changed; 30.1 attempts per game, same as their season average. 'I see them practice all the time. So to me, it's normal that they're shooting this high percentage,' head coach Natalie Nakase said. 'Credit to our players, they're trusting us to change things on the fly. That 'let it fly' mentality is working.' Three things stand out during this Valkyries' offensive change: Cecilia Zandalasini is in the lineup full-time, Iliana Rupert has joined the team, and Veronica Burton's shooting has drastically improved. Zandalasini played just five of the team's first 18 games, battling a foot injury and competing at EuroBasket. But she still shot 42.1% from 3, second-best on the team. She's played 11 of the last 15 games, shooting 45.8% from deep while averaging 26.4 minutes and a team-high 12.5 points. 'Ceci is so hot at the moment, and it's hard for teams to counter that,' Tiffany Hayes said. 'We find the open people really well, and Ceci's gotten some quality shots.' Rupert joined after the All-Star break and has played 11 games, also shooting 45.8% on 4.4 3-point attempts in 20.3 minutes off the bench. As a 6-foot-4 post, she commands attention inside, but teams have been punished for leaving her open. According to analytics software Synergy, Rupert has been left unguarded for 40.8% of her catch-and-shoot 3-pointers, which make up 94.1% of her shots. 'It's their ability to make each other shoot quality shots,' Nakase said. 'That ball is just moving, and you can see it, and you can see them creating constant quality shots for their teammates. That's what I see more than just a 'let it fly' mentality. We are confident in continuing to hit the hot hand. (Rupert) was 4-for-4 (at Chicago on Friday), so we continually found her.' Burton's transformation was the most surprising. While Zandalasini was a known 3-point commodity and Rupert had built a rep overseas as a strong shooter, Burton had never been an offensive presence in her past three WNBA seasons. In the first 18 games of the season, Burton shot 29.9% from 3-point range on 3.7 attempts per game. She was scoring 10.3 points per contest and played the most minutes on the team aside from All-Star Kayla Thornton. Since a July 7 loss in Atlanta, she's shot 48.4% from deep on 4.3 attempts, scoring 12.3 points in 29.4 minutes. That run peaked with a 30-point, six 3-pointer night in the Wednesday win at Washington. 'I think opportunity is a big thing, and it's a big factor in this league, and I've been grateful to have an opportunity to play and compete,' Burton said. 'I've had a coaching staff and teammates that instill a lot of confidence in me, and that goes a long way in terms of success on court, and so just a lot of work and repetition, but also just opportunity and trust as well.' Nakase pointed to improved spacing resulting in higher-quality attempts. After Washington went with a zone against the Valkyries on Aug. 13, Nakase attributed it not to a lack of respect for their 3-point shot but to their improvement in the paint. Janelle Salaün is one example. Before the All-Star break, she took 1.2 shots per game from 0-5 feet; now it's 2.3. 'If players are closing out on her tight because they know that she can shoot, she's just making the right reads,' Nakase said. 'We're maintaining our space at the best level as of now. If you see our games before, especially in the beginning, we were just standing in the paint too much. So now, being able to play in space, if Ja sees the rim and space on the closeout, if she knows she can get to the rim, we want layups first.' Perhaps most impressive is that they've played 11 of these games without Thornton and seven without Monique Billings. Now comes the real test. Golden State faces two games against Phoenix, two against Minnesota, and one more against New York, all top-six defenses in 3-point percentage allowed. It's time to find out if this shooting surge is for real.

Teens Jackson Herrington, Mason Howell advance to U.S. Amateur final
Watch the best shots from the quarterfinals of the 2025 U.S. Amateur Championship hosted by The Olympic Club in San Francisco, California. SAN FRANCISCO — Tennessee teenager Jackson Herrington birdied the 18th hole to beat local favorite Niall Shiels Donegan on Saturday to advance to the U.S. Amateur final at The Olympic Club. Herrington won, 1 up, and will face Georgia teenager Mason Howell in the 36-hole final Sunday. Howell beat Eric Lee, 3 and 2, in the other semifinal at the 125th U.S. Amateur. Both Harrington and Howell advanced to the final after being among the 17 players to survive a 20-man playoff Wednesday morning to determine the final 64 for match play. The matches teed off in typical summer San Francisco weather with heavy fog that made it difficult to track shots, along with a steady mist and wind gusts of more than 20 mph. Herrington got in an early hole after bogeying the first two holes against Donegan, the 20-year-old Scot who grew up just across the Golden Gate Bridge in Mill Valley. Herrington, a 19-year-old about to enter his sophomore season at Tennessee, overcame the partisan crowd, the weather and the early deficit to get the win. Donegan nearly pulled off a fifth straight late rally. He erased a two-hole deficit when Herrington bogeyed the par-5 16th and then Donegan made a short birdie putt at the par-5 17th to set the stage for the decisive final hole in front of loud crowd of his supporters. Herrington hit a perfect approach shot on the par-4 18th and then hit his 5-foot par putt after Donegan narrowly missed his birdie attempt. Howell, who is about to enter his senior year in high school, continued an impressive 2025 season after qualifying for the U.S. Open earlier this year. He was tied at the turn with Lee but took a two-hole lead after Lee made bogey on the 11th and 14th holes. Howell then won the match with a long birdie putt on the par-5 16th, punctuating it with a fist pump. Lee was playing in his first career U.S. Amateur after helping Oklahoma State win an NCAA title this year. This is the fourth U.S. Amateur to be held at The Olympic Club. Charlie Coe (1958), Nathaniel Crosby (1981) and Colt Knost (2007) won the others.
