UNC Basketball face off against Big 12 school in exhibition game
Thanks to another strong incoming high school recruiting class, combined with a significantly-improved transfer portal class, the UNC basketball team has a strong outlook heading into its 2025-2026 season. The crown jewel of North Carolina's 2025 recruiting class is 5-star power forward Caleb Wilson, who committed to Hubert Davis' program in January. Lacking height on their roster last year, the Tar Heels snagged a pair of tall, talented post players in Henri Veesaar and Chapel Hill native Jarin Stevenson. Advertisement We also know a little bit about UNC's schedule, with a few non-conference matchups released for this fall. North Carolina will play both St. Bonaventure and Michigan State in the Fort Myers (Fla.) Tip-Off during Thanksgiving Week, travel to Kentucky for the ACC-SEC Challenge on December 2, then travel to Atlanta (Ga.) for a CBS Sports Classic matchup with Ohio State. On Friday afternoon, the Tar Heels released another teaser for their 2025-2026 schedule: an October 24 exhibition game in Salt Lake City, Utah against the BYU Cougars. BYU, which is coming off a Sweet 16 appearance in March, should be one of the top teams across college basketball this coming season. The Cougars fared well in the transfer portal themselves, but their top roster highlight will be AJ Dybantsa. Ranked the Class of 2025's top recruit, Dybantsa chose BYU over UNC during his recruiting cycle. Advertisement This is the second-consecutive season North Carolina will open its season with a high-profile exhibition matchup. The Tar Heels traveled to face the Memphis Tigers on October 15, 2024, a 84-76 victory highlighted by Seth Trimble's 33-point outburst.

Lions' 2025 schedule release video pays homage to Detroit
Lions' 2025 schedule release video pays homage to Detroit The Detroit Lions' in-house media team released their 2025 schedule in a video posted to social media on Wednesday. The video featured drone shots of several Detroit landmarks, such as Ford Field and the Spirit of Detroit. Each shot was accompanied by a date and matchup for the upcoming year. The video makeup represents a stark contrast in content strategy compared to the 2024 schedule release, which featured "Detroiters" and I Think You Should Leave" stars Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson. The trend for most teams around the league for the last few years, including this one, was to release their schedules accompanied by skits, celebrity appearances, or other creative means. Perhaps this video by the Lions represents an all-business attitude headed into what will feel like a Super Bowl-or-bust type of season. In any case, it pays tribute to the city that backs this team so passionately. Here is the full schedule released by the Lions on Wednesday: Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 7 at Packers — 4:25 p.m ET (CBS)Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 14 vs. Bears — 1 p.m. ET (FOX)Week 3: Monday, Sept. 22 at Ravens — 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC)Week 4: Sunday, Sept. 28 vs. Browns — 1 p.m ET (FOX)Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 5 at Bengals — 4:25 p.m ET (FOX)Week 6: Sunday, Oct. 12 at Chiefs — 8:25 p.m. ET (NBC)Week 7: Monday, Oct. 20 vs. Buccaneers — 7 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC)Week 8: BYEWeek 9: Sunday, Nov. 2 vs. Vikings — 1 p.m ET (FOX)Week 10: Sunday, Nov. 9 at Commander — 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX)Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 16 at Eagles — 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 23 vs. Giants — 1 p.m. ET (FOX)Week 13: Thursday, Nov. 27 vs. Packers — 1 p.m. ET (FOX) — ThanksgivingWeek 14: Thursday, Dec. 4 vs. Cowboys — 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime)Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 14 at Rams — 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX)Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 21 vs. Steelers — 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS)Week 17: Thursday, Dec. 25 at Vikings — 4:30 p.m. ET (Netflix)Week 18: TBD at Bears
