FBS newcomer Delaware is led by Ryan Carty, an alum who backed up Joe Flacco & who was all but hand-picked to coach by Chip Kelly before landing the same first job Ryan Day once held. He's fearless, just like the program he stewards. For @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/college-footba…

It was buried under the madness of March, but there was football over the weekend. Flag football, that is — and it was dominated by a USA team that's won 5 straight world titles in the sport, not by squads filled with NFL stars of past and present: sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/fl…

The Purdue program that dethroned a historic Michigan team on Sunday is a reminder that the B1G tourney is hardly a forecast of NCAA tournament success. The Wolverines, denied their 2nd straight title in the event, will now use it as motivation. Story: sports.yahoo.com/mens-college-b…

Plus, when you're watching the NCAA women's tournament, you'll need to pay extra-close attention to these 5 players — all of them are deserving of consideration for National Player of the Year awards: sports.yahoo.com/womens-college…

At @YahooSports, we're previewing all things March Madness. I broke down the Fort Worth regions of the NCAA women's tournament. Fort Worth Region 1 features undefeated UConn and includes six of the top-10 scorers in Division I: sports.yahoo.com/womens-college…

Upsets color NCAA tournament brackets red every year. They happen in the women's game. You just have to know where to look. The slipper fits for each of these mid-majors: sports.yahoo.com/womens-college…

A look at the confetti falling after Purdue completed the upset victory over a Michigan team that won a league-record 19 Big Ten games in the regular season

Braden Smith willed Purdue back to Big Ten glory, bookending his career with a second conference tournament crown. The Boilermakers played like the AP preseason No. 1 they were, denying Michigan back-to-back Big Ten tourney titles. Story from Chicago: sports.yahoo.com/mens-college-b…

A couple tough makes from Elliot Cadeau, including this layup, and the B1G championship is tied 38-38 at the break. Michigan answered Purdue's 9-0 run late in the first half. The Boilermakers have navigated some early foul trouble. Most notably, Oscar Cluff has 3 personals.

Here at the United Center for the Big Ten championship: No. 3 Michigan (31-2, 19-1) vs. No. 18 Purdue (26-8, 13-7). Wolverines are looking to go back-to-back in this tourney for the 1st time since 2017-18. The Boilermakers are hoping to claim their 3rd B1G tourney crown.

Kyler Murray grew up rooting for the Vikings, a fandom that began when he started playing tackle football at 7 years old. Being back in purple, it's a full-circle moment that he "never in a million years" expected. "I think that it's a great fit.” Story: sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-n…

Bam Adebayo tonight: - 83 points, 2nd-most in a game in NBA history - 36 made FT, most in NBA history - 43 FTA, most in NBA history - 22 3PA, tied for 3rd-most in a game in NBA history

Oof.

Thinking about how many moves — and not just the Raiders' — this trade affected/influenced this week. Some real butterfly effect stuff.

Thinking about snaps where Kyle Hamilton's lined up on the DL and Maxx Crosby's rushing off the edge

The Ravens, as a team, recorded 30 sacks last season, tied for the 3rd fewest in the NFL in 2025. Meanwhile, Maxx Crosby alone logged 10 sacks in just 15 games with the Raiders. Crosby wants to win. He's headed to a franchise that's pretty good at that: sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-n…
