Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid reacts to the camp scuffle between rookie standouts

USA Today12 hours ago
During Sunday's training camp press conference, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared his thoughts on the scuffle between Ashton Gillotte and Josh Simmons during practice last week.
"It's one thing you see with the rookies, because they do a couple different things before we actually get them out on the field, where they're together at these different functions." said Reid, "There's certain pride in your rookie class, and what, how you're going to establish yourself, and that. Then, when they compete, those two are competitive guys, and they get in there, banging around a little bit. I think it's all healthy. They're friends, so it works out off the field, but they're both trying to chase a starting spot and see what they can do there."
Last season in college, Gillotte earned Second-team All-ACC honors and led the Louisville Cardinals with 10 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks, starting 12 games and recording 43 total tackles. Simmons earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors for the 2024 National Champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes.

MSU hoops lands near middle of Big Ten in power rankings from Andy Katz

College basketball analyst Andy Katz is expecting a notable drop off from the Spartans next season. Katz released updated power rankings for the Big Ten, and he has the Spartans dropping to the middle of the league next year. In his rankings of all 18 Big Ten schools, Katz has the Spartans coming in at No. 7. Ahead of Michigan State is Purdue (No. 1), Michigan (No. 2), Oregon (No. 3), UCLA (No. 4), Illinois (No. 5) and Wisconsin (No. 6). Michigan State won the Big Ten by three games last season and went the deepest of any team from the league in the NCAA Tournament in reaching the Elite Eight. The Spartans, however, have lost a number of key contributors from last year's squad -- including Jaden Akins and Jase Richardson. I personally have Michigan State right around the same spot as Katz but can understand some Spartans fans considering this a slight for the defending conference champs. I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan State surprised some folks again and ended up near the top of the league as we saw this past season.

Duke's Manny Diaz addresses new ACC availability reports in 2025

College football is moving toward a model of increased transparency when it comes to injuries. After the SEC instituted weekly availability reports last season during conference play, several other leagues have followed suit this offseason. Among them is the ACC, and commissioner Jim Phillips announced that the conference will begin publishing availability reports in football, basketball and baseball during the upcoming athletics season. As the Duke Blue Devils begin fall camp, coach Manny Diaz said that he's fairly ambivalent about the prospect of sharing availability reports. He pointed out that the league did something similar previously, as it mandated private injury sharing between teams during his stint as the head coach at Miami, though the practice has since been discontinued. 'When I was at Miami, we had it and then it went away,' Diaz said on Monday, per On3. 'You know, I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about that. We'll do what they tell us to do.' The reports will mark a departure from Duke's previous injury policy under Diaz, however. In 2024, Diaz opted to avoid going into much detail about injuries beyond those that were season-ending. Now, the Blue Devils will be required to submit availability reports two days before games with those reports being updated in the days that follow as leagues around the country look to, among other things, curb the influence of sports betting within facilities.
