West Virginia athletic department agrees to partnership with local mulch company
On the same day Kansas received a record-breaking $300 million donation, one of the Jayhawks' Big 12 counterparts secured a deal of its own. West Virginia has agreed to a multi-year partnership with Grant County Mulch that makes the company the official mulch supplier of the Mountaineers' athletic department, the university announced August 13. Based in Petersburg, West Virginia, about 90 miles southeast of West Virginia's Morgantown campus, Grant County Mulch is the largest bulk mulch supplier in the country, according to the Mountaineers' release. REQUIRED READING: Kansas receives record-setting $300 million gift from donor David Booth As part of the newly inked and undeniably unique agreement — after all, how many colleges have an official mulch supplier? — Grant County Mulch will be racing a West Virginia-themed truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Richmond Raceway in Virginia on August 15. The truck is owned by CR7 Motorsports and will be driven by Grant Enfinger. Beyond the company's logo being displayed on LED boards at football and basketball games, as well as on the outfield wall at baseball games, the Mountaineers' post-game radio show for football and men's basketball will award a 'Tough as Mulch' player of the game. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "Both of us — and our parents — were born and raised in West Virginia, so this partnership means more than business to us," Larry and Janie Berg, founders of Grant County Mulch, said in a statement. "It's about honoring our roots, supporting our home state, and being part of something that represents the pride and spirit of West Virginians everywhere."

49ers signing pair of veteran pass rushers after successful workouts
The San Francisco 49ers continue to struggle to keep their players on the field, as they placed defensive end Bradlee Anae on injured reserve on Wednesday, which will end his 2025 season before it even begins. With a hole in the edge defender room, the 49ers held workouts on Wednesday for a trio of veterans - Keshawn Banks, William Bradley-King and Demone Harris. According to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson, San Francisco is signing Bradley-King and Harris. Bradley-King, 27, played collegiately at Arkansas State from 2016-19, earning All-Sun Belt honors twice before transferring to Baylor for his final season. The Washington Commanders (then Football Team) took him in the seventh round (No. 240 overall) of the 2021 NFL draft. He spent parts of three seasons in Washington, two with the New England Patriots and one with the Miami Dolphins, recording seven tackles and a half-sack in four career games (all with Washington). Harris, 29, spent his college career at Buffalo from 2013-17, earning All-Mac honors once. He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and has since spent time with the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs (winning a Super Bowl), Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons. In 23 career games, he's recorded 22 tackles (three for a loss), four quarterback hits and two passes defensed. With wide receiver Malik Turner taking Anae's spot on the roster, the 49ers will have to make two more moves before they can officially bring in Bradley-King and Harris. Before these two transactions, their edge defender group consists of Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams, Yetur Gross-Matos, Bryce Huff, Robert Beal, Sam Okuayinonu, Jonathan Garvin, Trevis Gipson and Jaylon Allen.
