West Virginia athletic department agrees to partnership with local mulch company
On the same day Kansas received a record-breaking $300 million donation, one of the Jayhawks' Big 12 counterparts secured a deal of its own. West Virginia has agreed to a multi-year partnership with Grant County Mulch that makes the company the official mulch supplier of the Mountaineers' athletic department, the university announced August 13. Based in Petersburg, West Virginia, about 90 miles southeast of West Virginia's Morgantown campus, Grant County Mulch is the largest bulk mulch supplier in the country, according to the Mountaineers' release. REQUIRED READING: Kansas receives record-setting $300 million gift from donor David Booth As part of the newly inked and undeniably unique agreement — after all, how many colleges have an official mulch supplier? — Grant County Mulch will be racing a West Virginia-themed truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Richmond Raceway in Virginia on August 15. The truck is owned by CR7 Motorsports and will be driven by Grant Enfinger. Beyond the company's logo being displayed on LED boards at football and basketball games, as well as on the outfield wall at baseball games, the Mountaineers' post-game radio show for football and men's basketball will award a 'Tough as Mulch' player of the game. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "Both of us — and our parents — were born and raised in West Virginia, so this partnership means more than business to us," Larry and Janie Berg, founders of Grant County Mulch, said in a statement. "It's about honoring our roots, supporting our home state, and being part of something that represents the pride and spirit of West Virginians everywhere."

2027 Chevy Bolt Spied Looking Refreshed More Than Fully Redesigned
The latest car news, reviews, and features. General Motors' decision to kill the Chevrolet Bolt was a strange one, because it immediately turned around and teased a successor. We're getting close to the debut of that new model—though, as it turns out, it won't be entirely new. The spy shots we've got here strongly indicate a refresh for GM's cheapest EV rather than a full redesign, despite the fact that the Bolt has been out of production entirely since 2023. GM was recently caught testing an upcoming Bolt in white alongside a predecessor Bolt EUV in gray. It appears the company will only sell the larger EUV version this time around, which probably makes more sense for the American market. Side-by-side shots of both generations bear out that the company's designers have indeed scrapped the older model's split brake-light situation, where the elements near the tailgate only light up when the vehicle's lights are on, and the actual brake lights are further down, where you'd expect reflectors to be. Probably a smart move. 2027 Chevy Bolt in white, previous-gen Bolt EUV in gray. Stefan Baldauf/SB-Medien A slightly resculpted front fascia differentiates the two Bolts as well, though I'd hesitate to say one definitively looks more modern than the other. I'll probably have a hard time remembering which face belongs to which generation head on in traffic. If you look closely between the headlights, you'll see some texturing similar to what the Equinox EV wears on its bumper. 2027 Chevy Bolt in white, previous-gen Bolt EUV in gray. Stefan Baldauf/SB-Medien The profile shot makes it abundantly clear that, save a few exterior nips and tucks, this is the old Bolt with some new underpinnings. GM has reportedly incorporated LFP batteries in this new rendition, with updated motors and a NACS port, allowing for Tesla Supercharger access. The automaker is apparently shooting for a 300-mile range with this compact EV, too. That stands to represent a handy improvement upon the prior gen, which topped out at about 250 miles on a full tank of electrons. One thing the next Bolt definitively won't have is a federal EV tax credit, which especially stings because GM may find it challenging to match the old EUV's $30K base price, four model years later. Oh, and it also probably won't have CarPlay, barring a miraculous corporate change of heart. Got a tip? Reach out to us at tips@
