Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter make heartfelt decision ahead of 2025 football season
Credit: Getty Images College football is about to get even more emotional. Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, Colorado's dynamic duo, just made a heartfelt decision that's bigger than football. The two stars will both wear No. 12 this season, and fans are absolutely loving it. Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter will both wear No. 12 in a powerful show of brotherhood In a move that's already being called 'the most wholesome news of the offseason,' Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and superstar two-way player Travis Hunter are both set to wear No. 12 this upcoming college football season. Why? Because it's more than just a number. It's a symbol of their bond, a connection that goes beyond teammates or even friends. Coach Prime (aka Deion Sanders) confirmed the news, noting that Travis actually asked to share the number with Shedeur. And in typical Prime Time fashion, he didn't hold back on how proud he was of their connection, calling them 'closer than brothers.' The NCAA allows number sharing, if players aren't on the field at the same time If you're wondering how this works under NCAA rules: it's legal to have two players wear the same number, as long as they don't line up on the field together. Since Shedeur plays quarterback and Hunter flips between offense and defense, there's enough wiggle room to make this happen. And Colorado's equipment staff has already confirmed it's official: both No. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo 12 jerseys are getting stitched up.

Louvre Museum in Paris temporarily shuts down: Causes, consequences, and affect on tourism
June 16, 2025 will remain a landmark day in the history of Paris, France because of the temporary shut down of the Louvre Museum. Yes, the world's most-visited art museum has unexpectedly shut its doors to visitors because of a spontaneous staff strike. In a weird incident, thousands of visitors were left stranded outside the Louvre Museum as employees suddenly started protesting against worsening working conditions, chronic understaffing, and overtourism. This uncalled for closure has raised serious concerns about the museum's sustainability and its impact on tourism. Understanding the reasons behind the shut down The strike was called by Louvre Museum's staff. It included gallery staff, security people, and ticket agents. They all had their reasons for protesting. Let's have a look: Overcrowding : First and foremost reason given by the museum staff was overcrowding. The museum, which is designed to accommodate some 4 million annual visitors, is now having more than 8 million visitors every year, just double of what it could actually handle! This increase in numbers of tourists has led to overcrowding, especially in regions where masterpieces like the Mona Lisa's painting are kept. Bad Infrastructure : The museum's director, Laurence des Cars, also shared some pressing issues in the museum including water leaks, temperature fluctuations, and outdated facilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Card Payment Has Failed?
