Kansas coach Bill Self hospitalized, has 2 stents inserted
July 25 - Bill Self, the winningest men's basketball coach in Kansas Jayhawks history, was admitted to the hospital and had two stents inserted on Thursday, the university announced. The 62-year-old Self, who has guided the Jayhawks since 2003, led the team in its final summer practice on Thursday morning. According to Kansas officials, he was then escorted to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after he "felt unwell and experienced some concerning symptoms." Per the university, the procedure to insert two stents "went very well, and he is expected to make a full recovery. "He is in good spirits and expects to be released from the hospital soon." Self's health has caused concern in the past. He missed the Big 12 conference tournament and the NCAA Tournament in March 2023 due to a heart condition. He underwent a standard heart catheterization after experiencing chest tightness. Self also had two stents placed to treat blocked arteries. Self has won two national championships while at the Kansas helm, amassing a 609-156 record over 22 seasons with the program. Under Self, the Jayhawks have won 16 regular-season conference titles and eight conference tournament championships. --Field Level Media

No bouts have been revealed, though numerous UFC fighters hail from Australia, including featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

NFL to consider players competing in Olympic flag football
May 15 - NFL owners are planning to discuss a resolution to allow players to participate in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The resolution under consideration for next week's spring meeting in Minneapolis would permit no more than one player from each NFL team to participate. Each team's designated international player also would be allowed to participate for his country when the Summer Games features flag football for the first time. The NFL proposal includes a few caveats that would protect teams in case of injuries, including providing salary cap credit for any players hurt while participating and establishing "certain minimum standards for medical staff and field surfaces." In addition, the flag football schedule and related events cannot "unreasonably" conflict with an NFL player's team and league commitments. The gold medal game is the same week teams report to training camp. --Field Level Media
