Oklahoma State beats Virginia to win 2025 NCAA Men's Golf Championship, 12th in school history
In fact, only two current Cowboys teed it up at Omni La Costa last year. Coach Alan Bratton revamped the roster in the offseason, with Lee and Ethan Fang transferring from California and incoming freshman Filip Falhberg-Johnsson making an impact as the season went on.

A year later, It was a different story for OSU.
The Cowboys won their 12th national title in school history Wednesday, topping Virginia 4-1 in the match-play final, and Lee was the one who punctuated their first title in seven years with his stellar up and down on the 18th hole. Leading 1 up after a birdie on the 17th hole, he had a tricky pitch from short right of the green on the par-5 18th. He bumped a pitch into the hill short of the green and allowed his golf ball to release just past the hole. He buried the birdie putt to win 2 up, and the Cowboys were on top of the college golf world again.
OSU ties Princeton for the third most national titles in men's golf with 12. Yale has the most with 21 while Houston has 16.
This was OSU's fifth time making the championship of match play and only second win. For Virginia, it earned its first wins in match play yesterday and was in the championship match for the first time in school history.

Fahlberg-Johnsson, for the third straight round, won his match in the lead spot, topping Virginia's Maxi Puregger 3 and 1. Shortly after, Gaven Lane won his fourth straight hole to defeat Paul Chang, 4 and 3.
Virginia's Ben James then knocked out Preston Stout in a battle of heavyweights in the third match, winning 3 and 2.
But Lee buried a long birdie putt on the par-4 17th to take a 1-up lead against Josh Duangmanee. He then found the fairway while Duangmanee's tee shot went into thick rough near the penalty area, forcing him to lay up. His third shot left him 20 feet for birdie, which he wasn't able to convert. That led to Lee's stellar up and down, and Oklahoma State was on top of the college golf world yet again.

And there's bad news for the rest of college golf: The Cowboys' lineup, which earned its seventh win of the year Wednesday, featured four sophomores and one freshman, meaning everyone can return next season.
Early 2026 title favorite? It seems so.

One Notre Dame player named to On3's preseason All-Transfer Portal Team
Notre Dame football went to the transfer portal this offseason to address its need at wide receiver, bringing in a pair of players in Virginia's Malachi Fields and Wisconsin's Will Pauling. The former Badger was named a captain on Monday, but many expect a bigger impact out of the 6-foot, 4-inch Fields. On Wednesday, he was named to On3's preseason All-Transfer Portal Team, adding more hype for the upcoming season. Fields had consecutive 800-plus yards seasons with the Cavaliers, scoring five touchdowns in each of those seasons. If he can bring that type of production with him to South Bend, he's going to have a big year. Yesterday, we found out that CJ Carr has won the quarterback competition over Kenny Minchey, so he now knows who will be throwing him the ball. It's not out of the realm of possibilities to see Fields go for over 1,000 yards, which no Notre Dame wide receiver has done since Chase Claypool in 2019. Hopefully he breaks the streak with a huge year.

Cowboys' Micah Parsons gets $26.5 million contract update from ESPN's Adam Schefter
Cowboys' Micah Parsons gets $26.5 million contract update from ESPN's Adam Schefter originally appeared on The Sporting News The Dallas Cowboys open the NFL season two weeks from Thursday against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. It's still unclear whether Micah Parsons will be on the field, or if his contract negotiations and trade request will lead him elsewhere. On Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter joined The Pat McAfee Show to share what he expects to happen. Here's some of what Schefter had to say: "It feels like they're gonna put up with each other this year. And then, the Cowboys are gonna have the franchise tag and put the franchise tag on him, and then next offseason would be the offseason of the Micah trade. That one, of all the scenarios, feels to be the most logical today." MORE: Meet "Bill," the Commanders' rookie running back gaining acclaim out of nowhere Over The Cap projects the franchise tag for a defensive end next offseason to be worth $26.535 million. That value won't make Parsons happy. He's worth more than $40 million per year on the open market. But if Parsons does indeed play out the 2025 season on the last year of his current deal, the only logical thing for Dallas to do next offseason is give him the franchise tag (assuming they don't agree to a real extension with one another). The Cowboys can't let Parsons get away for free. Using the franchise tag allows them to keep him under their control until potentially finding a trade partner. MORE: Anthony Richardson decision is Colts' latest failure to recover from Andrew Luck Schefter's speculation could create some awkwardness this year, though. If Parsons is truly unhappy but can't land an extension now, his only real choice is to play out the campaign while being a bit ticked off. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones probably wouldn't mind that as long as Parsons is on the field. But if this is really what happens, it likely means the saga in Dallas is a long ways from over.

Will Cowboys Make a Shocking QB Change in Preseason Finale?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Dak Prescott isn't expected to suit up for the Dallas Cowboys' final game of the 2025 NFL Preseason. The quarterback is looking at Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Meanwhile, the two quarterbacks behind Prescott seem to be in a tight battle to take up the No. 2 spot. Joe Milton has been struggling throughout the offseason, which raised questions about the potential of Will Grier starting the third preseason game. Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer addressed that idea and shut it down. via @toddarcher: Brian Schottenheimer did [say] Joe Milton will start Friday vs. Atlanta and not surprisingly Dak Prescott will not play. Why not start Will Grier? "Joe is a player we need to find out more about," the coach said.

'Joe is a player we need to find out more about,' the coach said. — Todd Archer (@toddarcher) August 18, 2025 The Cowboys made an investment in Milton. It wasn't as simple as they signed the quarterback to a one-year deal, and could simply cut ties with him next year without a thought. Back in April, the Cowboys and the New England Patriots negotiated a trade to send Milton to the Cowboys along with a 2025 seventh-round pick. In exchange, the Cowboys gave up a fifth-round pick.

But it's also not as simple as the Cowboys having a hard time accepting that they traded for a backup who might not pan out. At the end of the day, Milton is a young prospect. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Patriots. He spent just one season in New England and made one appearance. During his lone matchup with the Patriots, Milton threw 29 passes. He completed 22 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown. With a very small sample size, it's far too early for the Cowboys to decide whether Milton could be the right option over Grier if something went south for Prescott again. Read More: NFL Insider Offers Bleak Update on Cowboys Star Micah Parsons Just last year, Prescott suffered a season-ending hamstring injury. The Cowboys felt compelled to invest in insurance. Milton is a gamble like most sixth-round draft selections, and the Cowboys will continue to assess when they can, since this is the final game that won't count for anything. The Cowboys are set to play the Atlanta Falcons on Friday. For more Dallas Cowboys and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
