Tyreek Hill runs 100 meters in 10.15 seconds at California track meet
Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill showed up with little fanfare at a track meet in California on Friday and won the 100-meter dash with an impressive time of 10.15 seconds.
That's an incredibly fast race considering that Hill is 31 years old and hadn't run track competitively since college, and shows that if Hill had wanted to focus on track instead of football, he has the talent to be an elite sprinter. DK Metcalf, who competed in a 100-meter race in 2021, was widely praised for his time of 10.37 seconds. Hill bested Metcalf's time easily.

Hill's race was part of the Last Chance Sprint Series, and the competition Hill beat was solid: Isaac Bostio, who was last year's NCAA Division II national champion in the 100 meters, finished second among all the 100-meter runners at the meet, behind Hill at 10.18 seconds. In Hill's own heat, the second-place finisher was former Michigan sprinter Asani Hampton in 10.26 seconds.
Hill has been talking up a race with Noah Lyles, and after winning the race on Friday, Hill held up a sign saying, "Noah could never." The reality is Lyles could beat Hill easily in a 100-meter sprint, but Hill still did something incredibly impressive on the track on Friday.

How the House V. NCAA Settlement Impacts Gonzaga Basketball
How the House V. NCAA Settlement Impacts Gonzaga Basketball originally appeared on Athlon Sports. College athletics is officially in a new era after the long-awaited House vs. NCAA settlement came to fruition on Friday after approval from judge Claudia Wilken. Advertisement The biggest change - and it is a seismic one - is the ability of colleges to pay student-athletes directly, which goes into effect on July 1. Programs from the power conferences - defined as the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and Pac-12 - are all participating while any other D1 schools can choose to "opt in" and must do so formally by June 15, after which a full list of participating schools will be made public.

Mandatory Credit: James Snook-Imagn Images James Snook-Imagn Images An official number has yet to be finalized, although early reporting indicates each school will have a maximum of roughly $20.5 million to spend across all their student-athletes per year. That number - which others have estimated is closer to $23 million - will rise by 4% each year and will be reevaluated every three years. Advertisement It's important to note that number is the maximum and likely won't be spent by everyone, although it potentially creates an advantageous situation for Gonzaga. Many schools are expected to roughly follow the following formula when splitting up their $20 million: 75% to football, 15% to men's basketball, 5% to women's basketball, and 5% to everyone else, which would equal about $15 million for football, $3 million for men's basketball, $1 million for women's basketball, and just $1 million for the school's 15-20 other programs combined. So even if Gonzaga doesn't come up with a full $20 million each year, they will easily be competitive with programs that sit in the $2.5-$4M range. And once the Pac-12 media deal is revealed - with some reports expecting it to happen this week - fans will have a better sense of how competitive the Zags could be. At the very least, Gonzaga should have a big advantage over their peers in the Pac-12 who will be feverishly raising money to make (or keep) their football teams competitive, while the Zags can spend a huge chunk of their money earned from the media deal on men's basketball. And even if they allocate more money to the olympic sports, that will help those programs compete right away in the Pac-12 and potentially out-recruit other big name programs. Advertisement However, big name programs will still have ways to get their recruits more money through NIL deals from third parties, which are still allowed but will be more strictly monitored starting July 1. The new NIL Go system, created by an independent body called the College Sports Commission, requires student-athletes to submit a form for every third party NIL opportunity worth more than $600 dollars. They will then evaluate each request based on "the deal's performance obligations, the SA's athletic performance and social media reach, the local market, and the market reach of his or her institution and program." In other words, this group will try to prevent scenarios where a team pays a player $1M officially but has a third party offer the same player $4M to do a single social media post. However, as seen above, the language around this evaluation is kept quite vague and it won't stop big name programs from finding workarounds. The next steps for college athletics could include collective bargaining between student-athletes, universities, and the NCAA, with direct employment a possibility down the line as well. Advertisement Even with so much still to be determined, and some concerning downsides to the impact on olympic sports and smaller conference schools, it's not hard to see the positives of the House settlement for Gonzaga in conjunction with the move to the Pac-12.

Dan Hurley makes Knicks stance clear as rumors swirl about UConn coach's interest
An image collage containing 3 images, Image 1 shows Tom Thibodeau, New York Knicks head coach, reacts during a game, Image 2 shows Connecticut Huskies head coach Dan Hurley arguing with a referee during a basketball game, Image 3 shows UConn head coach Dan Hurley at an NCAA basketball tournament Dan Hurley's future served as the talk of the college basketball world spanning the nearly 3,000 miles from Los Angeles to Storrs, Conn. around this time last year when the Lakers had an opening. The UConn men's basketball coach has no plans of a repeat saga now that the Knicks are searching for their head coach with Tom Thibodeau canned. Advertisement 'Not another summer of that,' Hurley said Tuesday night, per the Hartford Courant. While this is not a definitive 'no,' it's an indication that Hurley does not — at least to start — have a wandering eye toward Madison Square Garden and replacing Thibodeau. UConn sources are also not sweating the possibility of Hurley wanting to leave for Broadway, according to the New Haven Register. There have been rumors about the Knicks being a potential dream destination for the two-time championship coach who grew up in Jersey City and starred for Seton Hall, with that chatter only amplified after he turned down the Lakers' six-year, $70 million offer. Dan Hurley indicated he won't be deciding between the Knicks and UConn this summer. AP Hurley signed a six-year, $50 million contract extension with UConn last year that will take him through the 2029 season. Advertisement The 52-year-old focused on the Huskies' roster for the 2025-26 season rather than discuss whether he'd be a fit to lead several former Villanova stars now wearing orange and blue. Tom Thibodeau is out as Knicks coach. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'Two days into practice, not everyone is on campus, but we're thrilled with the way we've been able to put it together,' Hurley said Tuesday, per the Courant. One of the selling points for a college job compared to an NBA one is that Hurley is a made man in Connecticut, compared to the brutal pro ranks where coaches are hired to be fired. Follow The Post's coverage of the Knicks' stunning firing of head coach Tom Thibodeau Thibodeau led the Knicks to their first Eastern Conference finals trip in 25 years and turned the franchise from a laughing stock into a title contender, but not even that could save him. Advertisement Not every coach wants to inherit that type of pressure. Dan Hurley and his best friend, a referee. Bob Donnan-Imagn Images Hurley, on the other hand, is facing no heat after having a down season by his recent standards in which the Huskies bowed out in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in their quest for a three-peat. If Hurley is not a factor in the race, he could be the second two-time championship coach passing on the Knicks with former Villanova coach Jay Wright reportedly not un-retiring to coach the team. Arkansas coach and former Kentucky leader John Calipari is a possible option, per The Post's Stefan Bondy, due to his connections to Knicks president Leon Rose and front office executive William Wesley.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb 'not taking anything for granted' in return
Dolphins' Bradley Chubb 'not taking anything for granted' in return Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb is gearing up to make his long-awaited return to the field since suffering a torn ACL in Week 17 of the 2023 season which forced him to miss all of last year. The timing of Chubb's injury was even more significant considering he was putting together his best statistical season since his rookie year. Chubb totaled career bests with 73 tackles and six forced fumbles along with 11 sacks (just one short of his career best of 12). On Wednesday, Chubb expressed gratitude in returning to being a leader on the field wearing the orange jersey. 'It was cool, man. It was dope, just to see all the work come to light. Still got a long way to go in terms of perfecting my craft but working towards it each and every day. Putting my head down, getting the work in and to see that get acknowledged was dope,' Chubb said. It has been a long road to recovery for Chubb. There was some speculation during last season that Chubb could return at some point. But his injury didn't heal fast enough, and the team spent the majority of the season with bleak playoff hopes. So, trying to rush Chubb back didn't make a lot of sense. There was some doubt as to if Chubb would remain a Dolphin going into this season considering their cap issues. But, Chubb fortunately agreed to a contract restructure and will get a chance to return to his elite play. He will join forces with fellow edge rushers Jaelan Phillips and Chop Robinson. This group will be a tough challenge for any offense next season. 'I'm not taking anything for granted man," said Chubb. "When you're actually just putting in that blood, sweat and tears with the guys, that's how you bond, that's how you connect. So sitting back last year, yeah, I could try to lead from the back, but it just wasn't the same. "Just being able to be out here, running around and physically getting up on guys, dapping them up like, 'Good job, I'm about to go do the same thing.' That just brings a different energy, a different tone and that's what I tried to do this year, this whole offseason, just let guys know that this is not promised and each and every day you've got to earn it. God is fortunate enough to put us in this position, so we've just got to take advantage of it.' Chubb is entering his seventh year in the league and third with the Dolphins. He has been a starter since his rookie year and been named to the pro bowl twice. In his first six years, Chubb has totaled 256 tackles, 45 tackles for loss 39.5 sacks, 92 QB hits, and 13 forced fumbles. His unfortunate injury history has held him back from fully reaching his potential. Chubb has an excellent chance this season to show the Dolphins and the entire NFL that he is one of the elite edge rushing linebackers in all of football.
