Washington and Washington State set dates for 2026 and 2027 Apple Cup
College football fans in Washington better get used to warmer installments of the Apple Cup. After agreeing to a five-year extension of the rivalry following the Washington Huskies' move to the Big Ten, athletic director Pat Chun and his former school, the Washington State Cougars, have set dates for the 2026 and 2027 games.
As it stands, the 2026 Apple Cup could be the season opener for both teams, as it's set for September 5, 2026 at Husky Stadium. In 2027, the two teams will meet in Pullman on September 18, which should be the final nonconference game for both schools.
After losing Jedd Fisch's first appearance in the rivalry 24-19 at Lumen Field in Seattle, the Huskies hold a 77-33-6 lead in the series and will attempt to keep that going in 2025 when they head to Martin Stadium on September 20.
The two schools haven't set a date for the 2028 game, and beyond that, the future of the rivalry is uncertain. During his time at Washington State, Chun agreed to the five-year extension of the rivalry with his predecessor Troy Dannen, but could look to change the deal moving forward to assure the Huskies can play seven home games per season.

BYU Basketball Shows Interest in Rising International Star
BYU Basketball Shows Interest in Rising International Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kevin Young and the BYU Cougars are targeting 7-foot-3 Italian center Luigi Suigo. The 2026 recruit reportedly has the Cougars on a short, according to Joe Tipton of On3. Advertisement The big man is expected to be visiting a few Big Ten programs, but could make a trip to Provo in the near future. Louisville, Kentucky, and Texas A&M are also pursing. Suigo played last season for Olympia Milano and also stood out in the adidas Next Gen Tournament Euros earlier this year. In the title game of that event, he finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. Related: BYU's Price for Winning Comes at a Cost to Fans During the 2024 U17 FIBA World Cup, Suigo averaged 7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game. Suigo was also one of 60 invitees to the NBA's Basketball Without Borders Europe, rising his international profile.

If BYU can make an impression early, they have a decent chance to land him. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Spartans Win Big Ten Recruiting Battle Over Iowa With 3-Star EDGE Cory House
Spartans Win Big Ten Recruiting Battle Over Iowa With 3-Star EDGE Cory House originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After visiting Michigan State on May 30 and Iowa on June 5, the Spartans picked up edge Cory House as their 10th 2026 recruit. The 3-star and No. 68 edge recruit in the country from Memphis, TN, declared his commitment on June 10. Rush ends coach Chad Wilts, who ultimately was credited as the primary recruiter, first gave House an offer back in February. However, the 6'5, 240-pound edge was wanted at 28 schools across the country, including 12 power conference schools. Advertisement Initially, House intended to visit Indiana and North Carolina as well. Ole Miss was also a contender for the Whitehaven High School edge. Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith looks on during practiceNick King/Lansing State Journal/USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Before the official visit season started, the Spartans had only four class of 2026 recruits all on the offensive side of the ball: quarterback Kayd Coffman, tight end Joey Caudill, tight end Eddie Whiting, and offensive tackle Eli Bickel. House now marks Michigan State's sixth consecutive defensive addition for the class of 2026 alongside safety Brayden Thomas, cornerback K.J. Deriso, safety Elijah Caldwell-Hardy, linebacker Braylon Hodge, and defensive tackle Chris Knauls. Advertisement Thomas, Deriso, and Hodge were also part of the first group of visitors. Thomas first committed to Iowa State on February 1. On May 31, one day after his official visit, the Ohio native hinted at flipping his decision before verbally committing to Michigan State on June 2. Despite upping the numbers, the Spartans are still pulling together more of a lackluster recruitment class with No. 295 overall Coffman being the only commit in the top 550 overall. Currently Michigan State's recruitment is ranked 44th in the country, falling well behind its Big Ten rivals in the top 20 overall: USC (No. 1), Ohio State (No. 2), Penn State (No. 5), Rutgers (No. 9), Illinois (No. 12), UCLA (No. 14), Minnesota (No. 18), and Washington (No. 20). While the Spartans bumped from No. 57 to No. 44, being on the weaker end of recruitment will force head coach Jonathan Smith to rely on returners making leaps heading into his second year if he's unable to secure high-end recruits.
