BYU Basketball Pursues 5-Star Recruit Anthony Thompson
BYU Basketball Pursues 5-Star Recruit Anthony Thompson originally appeared on Athlon Sports. BYU basketball is generating major buzz as it prepares for one of its most anticipated seasons, led by projected superstar AJ Dybantsa, the nation's top-ranked player who reclassified to the 2025 class. BYU freshman AJ DybantsaAJ Dybantsa/BYU Athletics Building on this momentum, BYU is aggressively pursuing elite talent for the future, with five-star small forward Anthony Thompson emerging as a top target. Thompson, a 6'8' standout from Western Reserve Academy in Ohio, recently narrowed his college choices, including BYU among top programs like Kentucky, North Carolina, and Kansas. Advertisement Ranked as the ninth-best player in the nation by On3, Thompson is known for his versatile skillset and has drawn national attention after a strong showing at the Adidas Eurocamp in Italy. He also recently signed a NIL deal with Adidas. Coming off a Sweet 16 appearance last season, their first since 2011, the Cougars have heightened expectations. With talent like Dybantsa already in place and prospects like Thompson considering Provo, BYU is aiming not just to return to the NCAA Tournament, but to make a legitimate push for a Final Four run. The program is clearly positioning itself for sustained national prominence.

Female athletes contest new NCAA ruling, claiming violations of federal anti-discrimination law
Eight women's college soccer, volleyball and track and field athletes have filed an appeal challenging the House v. NCAA antitrust settlement. U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken approved the settlement last week, clearing the way for direct payments from universities to athletes. The eight women argue female athletes won't receive their fair share of $2.7 billion in back pay for athletes barred from making money off their name, image and likeness (NIL). Kacie Breeding of Vanderbilt; Lexi Drumm, Emma Appleman, Emmie Wannemacher, Riley Haas, Savannah Baron and Elizabeth Arnold of the College of Charleston; and Kate Johnson of Virginia lead the appeal. They all previously filed objections to the proposed settlement. Ashlyn Hare, one of the attorneys representing the athletes, said in a statement the settlement violates Title IX, the federal law that bans sex-based discrimination in education. "We support a settlement of the case, but not an inaccurate one that violates federal law. The calculation of past damages is based on an error that ignores Title IX and deprives female athletes of $1.1 billion," Hare said. "Paying out the money as proposed would be a massive error that would cause irreparable harm to women's sports." The House settlement figures to financially benefit football and basketball stars at the biggest schools, who are likely to receive a big chunk of the $20.5 million per year that colleges are permitted to share with athletes over the next year. Some athletes in other sports that don't make money for their schools could lose their partial scholarships or see their roster spots cut. "This is a football and basketball damages settlement with no real benefit to female athletes," Hare said. "Congress has expressly rejected efforts to exempt revenue-generating sports like football and basketball from Title IX's antidiscrimination mandate. The NCAA agreed with us. Our argument on appeal is the exact same argument the conferences and NCAA made prior to settling the case." The appeal, filed by the law firm Hutchinson Black and Cook of Boulder, Colorado, was first reported by Front Office Sports. It will be heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Female athletes appeal landmark NCAA settlement, saying it violates federal antidiscrimination law
Eight female athletes filed an appeal Wednesday of a landmark NCAA antitrust settlement, arguing that women would not receive their fair share of $2.7 billion in back pay for athletes who were barred from making money off their name, image and likeness. U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken approved the settlement last week, clearing the way for direct payments from universities to athletes and the end of the NCAA's amateurism model. The athletes who appealed the settlement competed in soccer, volleyball and track. They are: Kacie Breeding of Vanderbilt; Lexi Drumm, Emma Appleman, Emmie Wannemacher, Riley Hass, Savannah Baron and Elizabeth Arnold of the College of Charleston; and Kate Johnson of Virginia. They have standing to appeal because they previously filed objections to the proposed settlement. Ashlyn Hare, one of the attorneys representing the athletes, said in a statement that the settlement violates Title IX, the federal law that bans sex-based discrimination in education. 'We support a settlement of the case, but not an inaccurate one that violates federal law.
