Senate Passes College Sports Bill

The Protect College Sports Act passed with an overwhelming 77-22 vote, giving the NCAA new authority over name, image, and likeness payments and athlete transfer rules. The legislation aims to address the skyrocketing athlete payments and near-unrestricted transfers that have upended college sports. catcrossgame.com

The bill provides limited antitrust protections to enforce these regulations, marking the strongest effort yet by Congress to set national standards for the industry.

Tony Popovic gives us a little hint as to what we can expect from the Socceroos tonight, with one eye on the Asian Cup. He spoke to Paramount+ before the game.

It’s a challenge for all of us. We’ve named the same line-up, and want to see if Nestor [Irankunda] can make the same impact as he had the other day, four days later.

That’s part of his growth individually. But also, as a team, we want to develop and try to challenge Brazil once more.

We want to play on the front foot, especially at the beginning of games. Be aggressive, be positive, so we’re looking to do that again tonight which will hopefully give us a strong foot-hold once again.

It’s just working on the details; on the small margins and percentages that can turn the positive performances we’ve been putting in into positive results. We’ve taken some big steps forward, even this week.

Ferrari's communication director Maria Conti spoke on behalf of chairman John Elkann at the hastily arranged briefing, stating: "Ferrari's position is crystal clear. It will not change. We trust Fred and his team. Nothing has changed." The emergency press conference comes as Vasseur faces pressure after Ferrari has gone five World Championship rounds without a podium finish, a rare occurrence for the successful team.

The rumors have been fueled in part by comments from former Red Bull boss Christian Horner, who told The Times last week that Ferrari was the only team he could work for without demanding an ownership stake. Horner is attempting a comeback in Formula 1 more than a year after leaving his role at Red Bull.

• Villa have two points from first four league matches

• Arroyo took charge of women’s side in January 2025

Aston Villa have sacked their women’s manager Natalia Arroyo with the side second-bottom of the Women’s Super League with two points from four matches.

Arroyo was appointed in January 2025 and guided Villa to safety before finishing ninth in her first full campaign. That season ended with four successive defeats and the poor form has continued.
