Kyle Schwarber makes history with fifth inning homerun against Yankees
July has been kind to Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies. He made the All-Star game and eventually won the MVP of the game, as he helped the National League in the "swing off" to finish the game. Now, Schwarber has made history. The 32-year-old went deep in the top of the fifth inning at Yankee Stadium to tie the game at 2-2. The home run was not just any home run. First, it was his 35th home run of the season. Second, it was his 1000th hit of his career.

Amed Rosario, Shohei Ohtani and Yasmani Grandal are next on the line. Schwarber also has reached 319 home runs, which is the most within a player's first 1,000 hits. That surpasses Mark McGwire's 311, according to Sarah Langs. The game was 2-0 when Schwarber tied it, as Cody Bellinger and Austin Wells both hit solo home runs. Philadelphia came into the game with a 58-44 record, which was 1/2 game behind the New York Mets in the National League East.

What to know about Trump's executive order on college sports
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order mandating that federal authorities clarify whether college athletes can be considered employees of the schools they play for in an attempt to create clearer national standards in the NCAA's name, image and likeness era. Trump directed the secretary of labor and the National Labor Relations Board to clarify the status of collegiate athletes through guidance or rules 'that will maximize the educational benefits and opportunities provided by higher education institutions through athletics.' The order does not provide or suggest specifics on the controversial topic of college athlete employment. The move comes after months of speculation about whether Trump will establish a college sports commission to tackle some of the thorny issues facing what is now a multibillion-dollar industry. He instead issued an order intended to add some controls to 'an out-of-control, rudderless system in which competing university donors engage in bidding wars for the best players, who can change teams each season.' 'Absent guardrails to stop the madness and ensure a reasonable, balanced use of resources across collegiate athletic programs that preserves their educational and developmental benefits, many college sports will soon cease to exist,' Trump's order says. 'It is common sense that college sports are not, and should not be, professional sports, and my administration will take action accordingly.' There has been a dramatic increase in money flowing into and around college athletics and a sense of chaos. Key court victories won by athletes angry that they were barred for decades from earning income based on their celebrity and from sharing in the billions of revenue they helped generate have gutted the amateurism model long at the heart of college sports. Facing a growing number of state laws undercutting its authority, the NCAA in July 2021 cleared the way for athletes to cash in with NIL deals with brands and sponsors — deals now worth millions. That came mere days after a 9-0 decision from the Supreme Court that found the NCAA cannot impose caps on education-related benefits schools provide to their athletes because such limits violate antitrust law. The NCAA's embrace of NIL deals set the stage for another massive change that took effect July 1: The ability of schools to begin paying millions of dollars to their own athletes, up to $20.5 million per school over the next year. The $2.8 billion House settlement shifts even more power to athletes, who have also won the ability to transfer from school to school without waiting to play. At Big Ten Conference football media days in Las Vegas, Purdue coach Barry Odom was asked about the Trump order. 'We've gotten to the point where government is involved. Obviously, there's belief it needs to be involved,' he said. 'We'll get it all worked out. The game's been around for a hundred years and it's going to be around 100 more.' The NCAA has been lobbying for several years for limited antitrust protection to keep some kind of control over this new landscape — and avoid more crippling lawsuits — but a handful of bills have gone nowhere in Congress. Trump's order makes no mention of that, nor does it refer to any of the current bills in Congress aimed at addressing issues in college sports. NCAA President Charlie Baker and the nation's largest conferences both issued statements saying there is a clear need for federal legislation. 'The association appreciates the Trump administration's focus on the life-changing opportunities college sports provides millions of young people and we look forward to working with student-athletes, a bipartisan coalition in Congress and the Trump administration,' said Baker, while the conferences said it was important to pass a law with national standards for athletes' NIL rights as soon as possible. The 1,100 universities that comprise the NCAA have insisted for decades that athletes are students who cannot be considered anything like a school employee. Still, some coaches have recently suggested collective bargaining as a potential solution to the chaos they see. It is a complicated topic: Universities would become responsible for paying wages, benefits, and workers' compensation and schools and conferences have insisted they will fight any such move in court. While private institutions fall under the National Labor Relations Board, public universities must follow labor laws that vary from state to state and it's worth noting that virtually every state in the South has 'right to work' laws that present challenges for unions. Trump's order also: — Calls for adding or at least preserving athletic scholarships and roster spots for non-revenue sports, which are those outside football and basketball. The House settlement allows for unlimited scholarships but does impose roster limits, leading to a complicated set of decisions for each program at each school that include potential concerns about Title IX equity rules. Trump said 'opportunities for scholarships and collegiate athletic competition in women's and non-revenue sports must be preserved and, where possible, expanded.' — Asks the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to 'preserve college athletics through litigation' and other actions to protect the rights and interests of athletes — a stance that could influence ongoing lawsuits filed by athletes over eligibility and other issues. — Directs White House staff to work with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee to protect the collegiate pipeline feeding Team USA. College sports programs produce around three-quarters of U.S. Olympians at a typical Summer Games, but some are on uncertain footing as schools begin sharing revenue with athletes and the lion's share going to football and basketball.

Motocross of Nations to return to US in 2028, 2031
Infront Moto Racing, the organizers of the Motocross of Nations (MXoN), announced that the 2028 and 2031 editions of the race will be held in the United States. Venues have not yet been announced. The 2025 MXoN will be held on October 3-5 at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, marking the United States' turn in what has become a three-year rotation. The previous US-based MXoN was held at RedBud MX Park in Buchanan, Michigan, in 2022. 'Today, we are more than happy to announce the extension of our strong relationship with MX Sports and the organization of a third Monster Energy Motocross of Nations in the USA, which will take place in 2031,' said David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing. 'This agreement ensures that the most prestigious off-road event of the year will return to the United States every three years through to 2031. 'I would like to personally thank Carrie and Davey Coombs, Tim Cotter, and the entire MX Sports team for their ongoing support and great collaboration over the years. We cannot wait to be at Ironman Raceway this October to celebrate motocross together with the fans.' This year's MXoN marks the sixth time the international event has been held in the US. In addition to RedBud (2018, 2022), the MXoN has been contested at Unadilla in New York (1987), Budds Creek in Maryland (2007), and Thunder Valley in Colorado (2010). Hosting the MXoN has been beneficial to Team USA, which won in 1987, 2007, 2010, and in the most recent race at RedBud. The 2022 winning team consisted of Eli Tomac, Justin Cooper, and Chase Sexton. 'All of us at MX Sports are honored to be chosen as the long-term partner for this prestigious event,' said Davey Coombs, Vice President of MX Sports, Inc. 'We are excited for our domestic fans who will have the opportunity to attend the Motocross of Nations right here at home, and we also look forward to again welcoming international fans to one of America's premier motocross facilities. We have all been passionate supporters of this event, and we are extremely proud to bring it to the United States through 2031, helping to unite the entire motocross world for many years to come. 'We are very proud to partner with Infront in hosting the Motocross of Nations here in the U.S., and we're fortunate to have numerous options for premier racetracks that would serve as exceptional destinations for this historic event, and we look forward to finding the perfect venue for 2031.'
