'Between the action on the field and the decisions off it, there have never been more college sports stories to tell than now,' said Sam Farber, Yahoo Sports Head of Content. 'With these investments, we can deliver the kind of smart, in-depth coverage that will help fans better follow their favorite schools and understand the evolving landscape of collegiate athletics.'
Yahoo Sports to Distribute
Yahoo Sports, On3, and Josh Pate are partnering to bring Josh Pate's College Football Show to a wider audience.

The hub delivers reporting and analysis from On3, Rivals, and Yahoo Sports. It also distributes content from On3 shows Andy & Ari On3 and The Hard Count with J.D. PicKell, as well as from College Football Enquirer and Josh Pate's College Football Show.

Luka Doncic is named an ambassador for ESPN's Take Back Sports initiative
Armed with a new three-year, $165 million contract extension that he agreed to on Saturday, Luka Doncic can stay in the moment, as he will be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers for at least the next three seasons. He is about to take part in the EuroBasket tournament overseas. The competition's exhibition slate of games will start on Friday, and the actual tournament will commence near the end of this month. In the meantime, Doncic is teaming up with ESPN to become a Take Back Sports ambassador in order to promote an active lifestyle for children. 'Play changed my life. Every kid deserves the chance to play, learn, grow, have fun and make friends,' said Luka Dončić. 'The Luka Dončić Foundation and ESPN's Take Back Sports initiative are focused on making youth sports more accessible and less stressful for everyone. Together, we can bring the joy back to the game.' The Take Back Sports initiative was started earlier this year in collaboration with Golden State Warriors living legend Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha's Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. Now Doncic is a part of this large initiative that is not only encouraging kids to be active but is also looking to prevent kids from quitting sports. Quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry from the Baltimore Ravens and retired NFL stars Eli and Peyton Manning are just a few other athletes who have also been named as ambassadors for the Take Back Sports initiative.
