DALLAS – Oklahoma safety Billy Bowman Jr. has become a leader for the Oklahoma program. Last season, Bowman Jr. made many big plays for the Sooners. To his six interceptions, the three of them he returned for touchdowns, and his ability to keep Texas receiver Xavier Worthy out of the endzone to secure the Sooner's spectacular goal-line stop. He was named to the All-Big 12 first team, named an All-American, and likely would have been a 2024 NFL Draft pick had he not opted to return to OU for one more season.

DALLAS – After inheriting a three-win team (or the part of it that didn’t enter the NCAA transfer portal), Josh Heupel helped Tennessee football double its win total in his first season, and the Vols won 11 games, their highest total since 2001, in his second. The program came so far so fast, but after a nine-win season, Heupel remains undeterred in his championship-or-bust approach on Rocky Top. The fourth-year football head coach is proud of what has happened at Tennessee under his watch, but he said at SEC Media Days on Tuesday that there’s “more meat on the bone” for his Vols going into the 2024 college football season.

The 2024 MLB Draft is not yet over. The final ten rounds will be selected today. However, we've reached a critical point of the draft, where bonus pools are no longer a factor. See, for the MLB Draft, each team is given a certain amount of money they can use to sign all of their draft picks. Through the first ten rounds, those players are given a "slot value" - a recommended bonus amount that teams tend to stick to (or close to it). If a player does not sign in the first ten rounds, the team still loses that allotment. With that in mind, teams tend to get these deals somewhat firmed up before drafting players in the first ten rounds.
