Under the new framework, institutions may allocate up to $20.5 million in revenue sharing in 2025-26, with approximately 5% reserved for women's college basketball, a substantial shift from prior amateurism rules.
Following the news, Iowa Women's Basketball took to Instagram on Monday to share a clear message from head coach Jan Jensen.
Iowa Athletics launched the Women's Basketball Flight Fund, designed to "recruit and retain our student-athletes' and ensure the Hawkeyes "stay among the elite in our sport."
She thanked fans and emphasized "innovative leadership" in creating a mechanism for sustained competitiveness at the highest level.

The post was accompanied by the caption, "Striving to be the best! 👊🔗 Link in bio #Hawkeyes."
Jensen joined Lisa Bluder's staff at Iowa in 2000, serving as associate head coach for more than two decades.
Over that time, she played a central role in landing Megan Gustafson and Caitlin Clark, both eventual All-Americans.
As associate HC, she helped Iowa reach consecutive national championship games (2023, 2024) and secured five Big Ten tournament crowns.
She was named WBCA Assistant Coach of the Year in 2023 and picked up the Maggie Dixon Award as top rookie head coach in 2025 after inheriting the team following Bluder's retirement.

Over four years with the Hawkeyes, she was a four-time USBWA first-team All-American, a three-time Big Ten Player of the Year and a three-time NCAA season scoring and assists leader.
Clark also collected back-to-back AP Player of the Year, Naismith Award, Wooden Award, Honda Sports Award and USBWA Player of the Year honors in 2023 and 2024.

Cade Horton tosses 2-hit ball over 5 innings as Cubs beat Orioles 1-0
CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Cade Horton tossed two-hit ball over five innings, and the Chicago Cubs overcame a terrific start by Trevor Rogers to beat the Baltimore Orioles 1-0 on Friday. The Cubs showed a video tribute of Ryne Sandberg and held 23 seconds of silence prior to their first home game since the Hall of Famer died. Former teammates Shawon Dunston, Jody Davis and Rick Sutcliffe then honored their friend by carrying a base onto the field and placing it at second. A few hours earlier, Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the 2027 All-Star Game will be held at Wrigley Field during a news conference at home plate with Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts, Gov. JB Pritzker and mayor Brandon Johnson. Ian Happ hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning against Rogers, and the Cubs started the weekend series on a winning note after losing two of three at Milwaukee. They began the day trailing the NL Central-leading Brewers by one game. Horton (5-3) delivered his third straight scoreless outing. Caleb Thielbar, newcomer Andrew Kittredge and Brad Keller each worked an inning. Daniel Palencia pitched around a two-out double by Adley Rutschman in the ninth, retiring Tyler O'Neill on a fly to deep left for his 15th save in 16 chances. Rogers (4-2) was a tough-luck loser for Baltimore. The left-hander matched a career high by going eight innings and allowed one run and four hits. He struck out eight and walked none. Key moment Carson Kelly singled leading off the second, took third on Pete Crow-Armstrong's double to deep center and scored on Happ's sacrifice fly. Key stat Horton has gone 17 2/3 innings without allowing a run. Up next The Cubs send All-Star LHP Matthew Boyd (11-4, 2.47 ERA) to the mound, and the Orioles go with RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (8-5, 4.38). ___ AP MLB:

Why Amazon Stock Is Plummeting Today
Key Points Amazon's shares slipped after Q2 earnings revealed slower-than-hoped-for AWS growth that lagged growth seen by its rivals. New tariffs imposed by President Trump complicate its operations. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Shares of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) are falling on Friday, down 8.3% as of 3:28 p.m. ET. The move comes as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have lost 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively. Amazon released its Q2 financials, which, while beating many of Wall Street's expectations, fell short of lofty targets in a few key areas. News of additional tariffs is also affecting shares. Amazon's cloud business is growing, but not fast enough for some investors Amazon's Q2 earnings report revealed the company beat consensus estimates for both earnings per share and revenue. The company delivered $1.68 per share on $167.70 billion in sales, while $1.33 per share on $162.09 billion was expected. However, investors were paying close attention to growth in the company's data center business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and how it compares to its competition. The 18% year-over-year growth was much less than that of Microsoft's Azure or Alphabet's Google Cloud, which recorded 39% and 32% growth, respectively. Still, CEO Andy Jassy drove home the point that AWS is still by far the dominant player, saying, "I think the second player is about 65% of the size of AWS." Trump's new tariffs President Trump signed an executive order updating "reciprocal" tariff rates for many countries, with new rates from 10% to 41%, on the August 1st deadline. Markets appear to have thought another extension would be announced, and stocks are down across the board. Because of Amazon's reliance on international trade, its stock was hit particularly hard. Despite the tariff news and the somewhat underwhelming Q2 report, Amazon remains an incredibly profitable company with major growth potential. Should you buy stock in Amazon right now?

Micah Parsons' dad once named Chiefs, Steelers, Lions as preferred trade destinations
With Micah Parsons officially requesting a trade from the Dallas Cowboys, an old clip of his father, Terrence Parsons, talking about preferred destinations for his son in a hypothetical trade scenario has resurfaced. During an appearance on the "Life in the Stands" podcast in December 2024, Parsons' dad stated that his preferred trade landing spots for the superstar edge rusher are the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Detroit Lions. "I know Pittsburgh fans are like, 'whoa,' but I'm sorry, him [Micah Parsons] and [T.J.] Watt together would be like cheating," Terrence Parsons said. "Him and [Aidan] Hutchinson together in Detroit would be like cheating. I love it. Kansas City, that's who they are right now." Parsons requested a trade out of Dallas due to the franchise's lack of communication with his agent. The 26-year-old's relationship with the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones seems to be completely destroyed. Dallas has no plans of trading Parsons, but if they can't agree on a long-term extension with him, they may be forced to move him at some point. Parsons' father's landing spots for the four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher are bold. Adding Parsons to Kansas City's defense would be lethal, while pairing the disgruntled Cowboy with Watt or Hutchinson in Detroit would also be pretty much unstoppable. However, none of the teams Parsons' dad listed as preferred spots have the money to sign Parsons to a record-breaking extension. The Chiefs are slated to have negative $61 million in cap space next offseason, and the Steelers already have two expensive edge rushers in Watt and Alex Highsmith. As for the Lions, the team must prioritize getting an extension done with Hutchinson first, which likely takes them out of the running for Parsons. It's possible that Parsons lands with one of three destinations his dad spoke about during a podcast appearance last year, as all three franchises are playoff contenders, and two are legitimate Super Bowl contenders in Kansas City and Detroit. However, it remains to be seen whether any have the money to sign Parsons to a new deal after trading valuable picks for him while also keeping their core together.
