Uncertainty continues to swirl around the Northwestern football program after allegations of hazing led to the suspension of coach Pat Fitzgerald this week. One day after the suspension, The Daily Northwestern published a story that detailed some of the allegations while claiming that Fitzgerald "may have known that hazing took place." That led university president Michael Schill to write an open letter to the community acknowledging he may have erred in the level of punishment handed down and that he planned to speak to university leaders to determine his next steps. Meanwhile, football practice begins in just a few weeks with the season opener Sept. 3 at Rutgers quickly approaching.

Bob Huggins says he never resigned as West Virginia's basketball coach following a drunken-driving arrest and wants his job back. That's according to a letter from his attorney to the university. Huggins' attorney David A. Campbell wrote to the school that Huggins "never signed a resignation letter and never communicated a resignation to anyone at WVU." The letter threatens a lawsuit if Huggins isn't reinstated. Campbell says Huggins' wife, and not the coach, sent a resignation notice to the school. WVU disputes those claims, saying Huggins clearly communicated his resignation and retirement in writing and told players and members of the basketball staff about his decision.

Northwestern has suspended coach Pat Fitzgerald for two weeks without pay following an investigation into alleged hazing within the football program. 

Vince Tobin, who coached the Arizona Cardinals to their first playoff win in 51 years in 1998, has died. He was 79. The Cardinals said Tobin died at his Arizona home. Tobin was hired in 1996 to replace Buddy Ryan and took over a team that had future Hall of Fame defensive back Aeneas Williams and quarterback Jake Plummer. 

The stage is set for a new women's hockey league to begin in January. The Professional Hockey Federation was bought out and members of the Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association unanimously ratified a collective bargaining agreement and constitution. But the work is just beginning before the puck drops six months from now. Decisions are yet to come on what the league will be called, who will run it and where each of the six teams will play. There's also the question of how much involvement the NHL will have in supporting the endeavor.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have made it clear. They're going to build around Anthony Edwards. The Timberwolves and Edwards agreed on a max extension Monday. It's for five years and worth $207 million with a chance of the deal reaching $260 million. Agent Bill Duffy confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press. Edwards' new contract will begin in the 2024-25 season. He becomes the fourth player to get the max rookie-scale extension so far this summer, joining Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton, Charlotte's LaMelo Ball and Memphis' Desmond Bane.

The Swamp is getting a makeover. It's a significant overhaul that's expected to cost at least $400 million and be a "multigeneration solution" for an aging and iconic stadium in the heart of Florida's campus. The Gators announced plans to hire an architect for the design of its revamped Florida Field. It's the first public step in a process that's been ruminating for years. The school will open a formal selection window in July. Athletic director Scott Stricklin says it's "premature to speculate" on the final cost, seating capacity and a specific timeline. But he made it clear the project's main goal will be to transform the game-day experience for fans.

All-NBA center Domantas Sabonis wasn’t a free agent this summer. And he won’t be for the next few summers, either. Sabonis has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Sacramento Kings, one that will keep him signed through the 2027-28 season, according to a person with knowledge of the talks. Utah was finalizing an extension for guard Jordan Clarkson on Sunday as well.
