The Big Ten could be proposing a massive expansion to the College Football Playoff
While we just finished the first season of a 12-team College Football Playoff, where Notre Dame went to the championship game, the Big Ten is starting to have ideas of a bigger expansion. There has already been chatter of expanding the field to 16-teams, with the Big Ten and SEC being the main benefactors of that move. On Saturday, the conference looks like they might be laying the groundwork for an even bigger expansion, either 24 for 28 teams reports ESPN's Pete Thamel. The potential proposal would see the elimination of conference title games, giving more automatic bids to power conferences, and just two at-large bids. This clearly would not be the best case for the Irish, as both the Big Ten and SEC would have 7 bids, with the ACC and Big 12 each getting five. It would have the Group of Five teams getting an extra bid as well, but it might not make a difference at all of Notre Dame continues to stay inside the top-25 teams. It's hard to imagine that won't happen, especially considering how well the program has done since Marcus Freeman took over. Personally, I hate this idea, as there aren't typically more than six teams that can realistically win a title. It also waters down an already watered down bowl season, where if you aren't in the CFP, it's almost as if it doesn't matter. I'm still in the camp that eight teams is enough, and while this past season was extremely exciting, it was drawn out too long. Imagine if this did pass how much longer the playoff would be, even with eliminating conference championship games. Another aspect of this that I don't like, its great to see the top two teams in each conference battle it. Hopefully this is just talk, as I don't think this move would be good for college football.

OKTAGON star Losene Keita lands Patricio Freire fight in Paris after signing with UFC
Losene Keita asked, received, and now he has a big test in front of him. The OKTAGON standout told MMA Junkie in July he thought it was time to join the UFC, and the promotion agrees. Keita (16-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will battle Bellator legend Patricio Freire (37-8 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in a three-round featherweight bout Sept. 6 at UFC Fight Night 258. The event takes place at Accor Arena. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie following a report from Maitres Fumieres on Instagram. Keita, 27, held both the OKTAGON featherweight and lightweight titles during his 11-fight tenure with the promotion. He has 10 knockouts in 16 professional wins, and his lone loss was due to injury. "It's time," Keita said. "Let's make featherweight great again. I can do both weights actually. I even fought in welterweight before. I fought in lightweight, featherweight. Let's just make fun. Let me knock out people on the biggest platform." Freire, 38, picked up his first UFC win in July when he defeated Dan Ige by unanimous decision. The win came after an unsuccessful promotional debut vs. Yair Rodriguez. The victory was a long-time coming for the 45-fight pro, who spent the majority of his career fighting under the Bellator banner, rewriting the promotion's history book. With the addition, the UFC Fight Night 258 lineup includes:

Report: Why the NFL is Waiting to Suspend Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice
The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the best NFL rosters in 2025, especially with top wide receiver Rashee Rice now healthy. While Kansas City has been bracing for Rice to receive a multi-game suspension from the National Football League, that won't come until weeks after the 2025 NFL season kicks off in September. Dan Graziano of ESPN reports that Rice's expected disciplinary hearing being scheduled for Sept. 30, rather than a suspension being announced before Week 1, because the parties involved 'couldn't reach agreement' on how long Rice will be suspended. Related: Rashee Rice stats (): 103 receptions, 1,226 receiving yards, 11.9 yards per reception, 59 first downs, 9 touchdowns in 20 games If the parties could agree on a suspension length, as they did in the case of free agent kicker Justin Tucker, a suspension would have been announced and would have started in Week 1. Because Rice, the NFL Players Association, and the league can't agree on a suspension length, the case will be heard by disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson. According to Graziano, Robinson isn't available until Sept. 30. This is similar to what happened with Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, whose hearing took place on June 28, 2022. Robinson then issued her ruling, a six-game suspension, on August 1. The NFL appealed it and eventually settled with Watson on Aug. 18 for an 11-game suspension. Related: When will Rashee Rice be suspended? The Chiefs play four games before Sept. 30, meaning Rice would be eligible to play in all four matchups barring a settlement on a suspension length. However, if the scheduled hearing remains in place, there's a strong likelihood that Rice could play in Week 5. As noted by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, a ruling likely wouldn't be made ahead of Kansas City's Monday Night Football matchup on Oct. 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. So, the next earliest game Rice could be suspended for would be Week 6 (Oct. 12) against the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football. Rashee Rice contract (): $1.771 million cap hit (2025), $2.066 million cap hit (2026) Rice has already pleaded guilty to two third-degree felonies—collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury—stemming from the multicar crash in Dallas in 2024. So, this isn't a matter of the NFL needing time to further investigate to determine if he's guilty. Related: In all likelihood, as Florio and Graziano have noted, the NFL likely pushed for a lengthier multi-game suspension that the NFLPA and Rice both opposed. Going in front of Robinson is a bit of a gamble for both sides, as she could determine Rice needs a longer suspension or a shorter multi-game ban. Whatever Robinson rules, the NFL or NFLPA could appeal the decision in October and continue to negotiate behind the scenes. If Rice is healthy, he should be on the field for the first month-plus of the regular season, with any eventual suspension likely carrying over into the second half of the Chiefs' schedule.
