The violations arose from meetings with more than 30 high-school recruits during the COVID-19 “dead” period. Arizona State also was…

Ticket prices across sports have increased steadily for years now and the Raptors say they’re trying to keep up.

The Los Angeles Rams surprised a lot of people last season, clinching a spot in the playoffs when not many believed they could do so. Los Angeles pushed through all adversity in front of them to be one of the pleasant surprises of the season. However, they dropped their opening playoff game to the Detroit Lions in disappointing fashion. Now with the NFL Draft coming up next week, the Rams hold a first round pick for the first time in a while. Los Angeles has made a living on not drafting in the first round over the years, instead choosing…
