Colorado basketball adds three games to its 2025-26 nonconference schedule
Colorado basketball is putting together its 2025-26 nonconference schedule while looking for transfer portal additions following several departures. After scheduling a game with former Pac-12 foe Stanford last week, the team announced Monday three more games to its 2025-26 nonconference slate.
The Buffs will be one of the teams competing at the 2025 Acrisure Series in Palm Desert, California. Colorado will play two games at the Acrisure Arena from Nov. 25-28. The multi-team tournament featured 21 teams last season, but specific opponents for this year's addition have yet to be announced.
CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein also reported that Colorado will begin a home-and-home series with Providence, beginning this upcoming season with a game in Boulder. The exact dates are to be determined, and neither school has announced the plans. However, the two programs' coming together for a series is not surprising due to their connections.
Providence head coach Kim English was a Colorado assistant under Tad Boyle from 2017-2019. English's assistant coach Nate Tomlinson was also an assistant on Boyle's staff after being a four-year letter winner for Colorado from 2008-11.
Colorado's nonconference slate is coming together and should be a good test for a Buffaloes team that likely does not have its best player on the roster yet. The transfer portal closes on April 22, and the Buffs have yet to make an addition.

Previewing the 2025 season for Texas A&M DL DJ Hicks with his player profile
Previewing the 2025 season for Texas A&M DL DJ Hicks with his player profile As we gear up for the 2025 football season, Aggies Wire is breaking down every player on the Texas A&M roster. Throughout the preseason, each profile will highlight the player's background, recruiting rankings out of high school, and their projected role under head coach Mike Elko this year. DJ Hicks, the top-rated recruit from Texas A&M's 2023 class, enters the season as a veteran presence on the defensive line. The Aggies will rely on Hicks to help fortify their run defense, lining up alongside Albert Regis and Cashius Howell to create a formidable front. While Hicks' statistics through two seasons may not leap off the page, his experience across 24 games, mostly in rotational roles behind current NFL talent, has prepared him for a breakout junior year. With his name now penciled in atop the depth chart, Hicks is expected to see his most significant playing time yet. Preseason Player Profile Hometown: Katy, Texas Height: 6-5 Weight: 310 lbs. Class in 2025: Junior Recruiting Rankings (Class of 2023) National: No. 11 No. 11 Position (DL): No. 1 No. 1 Texas: No. 2 The former five-star prospect, Hicks earned 2022 Texas District 19-6A Co-Defensive MVP honors his senior year. After contributing in nearly every game since arriving in College Station, 2025 could be the year he cements his legacy. Depth Chart Outlook For the first time, Hicks enters fall camp as a projected starter, listed beside senior Albert Regis. Expect him to play a key role in Texas A&M's defensive success this season. Here's what coach Mike Elko had to say about the junior DL during the Dallas Coach's Night: "I think DJ Hicks is probably that guy who is going to step into that limelight this year and fulfill his potential."

The cast of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders now: Six months after filming, here's what they've been up to
Season 2 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is now streaming on Netflix, offering fans an inside look as DCC Senior Director Kelli Finglass and Head Choreographer Judy Trammell assemble another elite team of talented athletes. The episodes picked up just before the final round of auditions for the 2024–2025 squad and followed the chosen candidates through training camp, emotional cuts, the official team reveal, and into the heart of the NFL season. The NFL season wrapped up in January 2025, meaning some time has passed since filming ended. From DCC Senior Director Kelli Finglass to the veterans, rookies and some of our fave alums, here's what the squad are up to now. Kelli Finglass, a former DCC from 1984 to 1989, became director in 1991 and transformed the squad into a global brand. Known for her high standards and no-nonsense leadership, Finglass expected nothing less than excellence from every cheerleader this season. Since filming ended for the second season, Kelli has been spending time with family. She posted a picture from her son Ryan's 31 mile marathon run, writing: "A regular marathon wasn't enough… first Ultra Marathon in the books! ✅ Proud of @ryan_finglass #31Miles #LegsOfSteel." She also appeared on Beavers Wealth Management podcast alongside Ryan for a Mother's Day special episode, and responded to rumours she'd had a face lift in a video posted to her Instagram. Judy Trammell, a DCC alum from 1980 to 1984, became head choreographer in 1991 and has led the squad's iconic routines for over four decades. In March, she announced she's expecting her fifth grandchild sharing a picture of her son and his partner at their baby gender reveal. A month later, she celebrated her first born's birthday, sharing a throw back snap on her grid. Before joining the DCC in 2022, Amanda danced for the Golden State Warriors and overcame a training camp cut with determination and grit. Since filming, Amanda has been travelling the world with her husband Ralph. They've been everywhere from Switzerland to Lake Como and have been sharing lots of scenic photos on their Instagram accounts. In May, she attended Dallas Cowboys 2020-2024 cheerleader Jessica Bowman's (now Lanham) wedding. Alongside a picture of her and Ralph, she wrote: "The best night celebrating the @jbo97 and @lanham5 🥹 isn't the bride just perfection? Wow!" Once known as Caroline's little sister, Anna Kate stepped into her own as a seasoned DCC member after a strong rookie year. She turned 25 in June and was surprised with a party from her boyfriend Michael Snyder. As well as turning a year older, Anna has been travelling and doing press for the show, recently travelling to New York along with the rest of the squad. Armani has been booked and busy since filming, working with several brands including Vaseline and Shea Moisture. She's also been doing a bit of travelling, and attended Jessica Bowman's hen weekend in Cabo, Mexico. She moved home in May and shared the process to her 67,000 followers. The longest running veteran to try out for the year, Chandi has been keeping busy since season two ended. She recently had a little hair makeover, dying her dark locks honey brown. She attended the baby shower of Dallas Cowboys 2020-2024 cheerleader Mckenzie in February. After making the team last year, Reece returned as a veteran for season two, now happily married to her college sweetheart and first ever boyfriend, Will. She celebrated her one-year anniversary in April, sharing a picture from her wedding day with a sweet message. "I'm so thankful God placed you in my life and to have been a part of an incredible vendor team to document your beginnings as husband and wife" she wrote."It's been such an honor to watch your journey and all the amazing things God is doing through you both." The same month, she sat down with Will to talk to Valley View Baptist Church youth. A fan-favorite rookie candidate last season, Charly was the 2023-2024 squad's very last cut. Since filming, she's been doing a bit of travelling, as well as spending time with fellow rookies Ariel and Ava. One of the breakout stars of season one, Kelcey spent five seasons with the squad from 2019-2024. Following her retirement from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in 2024, Kelcey shifted her focus to her full-time career as a pediatric nurse. She also got engaged - and later married - to Nate Crnkovich. Although she's stepped away from the spotlight of professional cheerleading, she continues to stay involved in the dance and wellness world and she's still very close to the team, recently attending Jessica's wedding. Kalina joined the DCC in 2019 and became a four‑year veteran. After taking a break, Victoria relocated to New York to chase her dream of joining the Rockettes, and now shares her life through fitness, dance, and mental‑health advocacy. She regularly posts videos of her choreography on Instagram and recently shared a video of her last dance for DCC to promote the second season. America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheeleaders season 2 is available to stream on Netflix.

Broncos have signed sping football league players in each of last three offseasons
The 2025 United Football League season wrapped up on Saturday when the DC Defenders defeated the Michigan Panthers 58-34 in the championship game. With the UFL season now concluded, NFL teams can sign players from the spring league. The Denver Broncos have not signed any UFL players as of the time of this writing, but history suggests they will do their homework. Advertisement The Broncos have landed a spring league player in each of the last three years: long snapper Mitchell Fraboni (2022, USFL), quarterback Ben DiNucci (2023, XFL) and outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman (2024, UFL). Fraboni is still with the club as a key special teams player. DiNucci served as QB3 during the 2023 season, and Tillman totaled five sacks as a rotational pass rusher in 12 games last season. That's the kind of talent NFL teams can find in the UFL, but it remains to be seen if Denver will make any signings following the spring league's 2025 campaign.
