Rochester Americans Sign Former Michigan State Captain Red Savage
The Rochester Americans announced they have signed former Michigan State Spartans forward Red Savage to a two-year AHL contract. Savage recorded five goals and 11 points in 20 games while serving as captain with Michigan State last season before suffering a season ending injury. The 22-year-old spent two seasons at Miami University Ohio before transferring to Michigan State. The Scottsdale, AZ., native racked up 28 goals and 68 points in 125 career NCAA games split between the RedHawks and Spartans. Originally a fourth round selection of the Detroit Red Wings in 2021, Savage's rights expired on Aug. 15. Red is the son of AHL and NHL alumnus Brian Savage. Savage captured a bronze medal with Team USA at the 2023 World Junior Championship and won the Big Ten Championship both seasons at Michigan State. Check out our AHL Free Agency signing tracker here.

There's only one Big Ten team Tom Izzo believes is a cut above MSU entering next season
In the eyes of Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo, there's only one team in the Big Ten he considers a cut above his Spartans right now. Izzo was a guest on Jon Rothstein's podcast Inside College Basketball Now this week, where he answered a number critical questions. One of those was assessing his team and where it stacks up with the rest of the league -- which Izzo apparently feels pretty good about. Izzo said he feels his team has as good of a returning nucleus as anyone else in the Big Ten, except for the Purdue Boilermakers -- who he believes are a cut above the rest of the league. "We got our main stays," Izzo said during the interview. "Coen Carr has gotten a lot better, Jeremy Fears, Carson Cooper has really made some progress, and Jaxon Kohler, and that's four really good main stays that have played a lot of minutes here. Now it's about adding in the guys. Does a Kur Teng -- a shooter that we have -- really improve, does it have to be one of our new guys. I think we more than anybody but Purdue, maybe, we have a base of, I wouldn't say starters back, but top six or seven guys and now two of those guys are seniors." Michigan State won the Big Ten last season by three games and was clearly the best team in the league by the time March rolled around. But the Spartans have lost a number of key contributors from that squad, including top scorers Jase Richardson and Jaden Akins. But regardless of that, Izzo appears to be pretty excited about the team he has in front of him for this next season -- which is great news for us Spartans. Izzo has never been the type to sugarcoat anything and will call it as it is, so to hear him speak this highly of his team for next year is a great sign.

Urban Meyer: Impact of Michigan's Sign-Stealing Scandal 'A Huge Deal'
College Football Urban Meyer: Impact of Michigan's Sign-Stealing Scandal 'A Huge Deal' Published Aug. 21, 2025 7:06 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Urban Meyer is insistent that Michigan gained an advantage throughout its sign-stealing saga. "It's a huge deal," the former Ohio State head coach and current FOX Sports analyst said Thursday on "The Herd." "Any advantage that is gotten illegally, that's a major deal." While some might claim Meyer has a bias against Michigan considering his Ohio State ties, he explained why illegally stealing signs is a "major deal" that gives a team an advantage. "The amount of time — I would probably say at least 30, 40 hours per week — the defensive players are trying to figure out from the stances of the offensive linemen, from the weight on their fingertips, from the stance of the receivers, is it run or pass," Meyer said. "Is it that much of an advantage? I can't overemphasize — of course it is. You have 50-to 55-year-old men sitting in meeting rooms forever trying to find some kind of tip to give to their players if [the other team is running] a run or pass. "Any advantage that's gotten illegally, that's a major deal." The NCAA punished Michigan and personnel who were involved in the sign-stealing scandal. The school could receive up to $30 million in fines, while former head coach Jim Harbaugh received a 10-year show-cause. Connor Stalions got an eight-year show-cause and current head coach Sherrone Moore had a game added to the two-game suspension the school gave him. Moore also received a two-year show-cause. ADVERTISEMENT Urban Meyer on Harbaugh, CFB playoffs, Belichick, Jeremiah Smith "If it wasn't a big deal, why would they risk their reputation, their careers, and a $30 million fine for the Wolverines?" Meyer asked. Meyer didn't share specific opinions on the weight of the NCAA's punishments. However, he noted that former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was suspended seven games by the Indianapolis Colts in 2011 as a way to honor the suspension the NCAA gave him for his role in a scandal that involved Buckeyes' players trading memorabilia for tattoos and wondered if Harbaugh could receive a similar suspension. But he wanted to clarify that he hasn't said he wants the now Los Angeles Chargers head coach to get disciplined by the NFL, contrary to other reports. "A friend sent me that quote, I never said that," Meyer said. "Did I say I want Jim [to get suspended]? No, of course I didn't. I was just bringing up Tressell [on my podcast] because it's a fact and the NFL wanted to respect the decision of the NCAA." Harbaugh left Michigan to become the Chargers' head coach after the Wolverines' 2023 national championship season. In that same season, Harbaugh was suspended three games by the Big Ten when news of the sign-stealing scandal first broke. He also served a self-imposed three-game suspension earlier that season as the NCAA investigated Michigan for recruiting violations. Harbaugh later received a four-year show-cause penalty as a result of that investigation, giving him 14 total years of show-cause penalties. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
