When the chair of the school’s Board of Regents explained on Tuesday why football coach DJ Durkin got to keep his job despite the preventable heatstroke death of Jordan McNair, the magnitude of that Big Ten membership was cited as a reason. The support of some players and parents for Durkin was rooted in the need to compete at the level of the Big Ten. The institutional support Maryland provided Durkin was insufficient for a program in the Big Ten....

The match was postponed after the marathon battle between Rafa Nadal and Gilles Muller concluded late on Monday. Djokovic was due to follow Nadal on to Court One but the Spaniard’s defeat by Muller lasted 4 hours 48 minutes and made it impossible for the Serb’s match to be completed before dark. Light rain led officials to close the roof over Centre Court. Djokovic, who will face Czech Tomas Berdych in the last eight, received treatment to his shoulder during a medical time-out late in the third set....

Djokovic was the driving force behind the event that drew huge crowds in Serbia and Croatia before the Zadar final between the world number one and Andrey Rublev was cancelled after Grigor Dimitrov tested positive for COVID-19. Borna Coric and Djokovic also later returned positive tests, leading to consternation from figures within the tennis community over the decision to stage such an event with large crowds in attendance, where players shook hands and posed for photos with volunteers, while some were also seen partying at a nightclub despite concerns over a lack of social distancing measures....

The Serbian showed signs he was regaining the unbeatable form that saw him complete his career Grand Slam at the French Open in 2016 when he returned to Roland Garros after two tumultuous years beset by injury and coaching changes, but a shock quarter-final loss to Marco Cecchinato left him in a state of despair and down at 22nd in the rankings....

The world number one cruised to a 6-3 6-2 victory in Tokyo as he secured a 76th career singles tournament win. This was Djokovic’s first playing visit to the Japanese capital, and he hopes to return in 2020 to challenge for an Olympic gold medal, one of the few honours to have eluded him. Australian Millman was playing his first ATP Tour final at the age of 30, and the qualifier predictably could not contain Serbia’s 16-time grand slam winner....

Touching videos showing his humanity went viral earlier this week amid an outpouring of support from fans and celebrities.

Perez’s comments came in an interview with CNN on Wednesday morning, following reports of volunteers complaining of problems with technology intended to make the vote counting easier.

During Saturday night’s Pac-12 Championship game, USC wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was tackled after an incomplete pass. Nothing out of the ordinary.

NBA star Kevin Durant made burner accounts famous in 2017 when he got caught using them, and since then, Twitter detectives have been trying to catch more athletes. In 2018, 76ers GM/president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo was forced to part ways with the franchise after his burner account fiasco. Carr could be the latest who is outed using a burner account, as a Chiefs fan believes is using a Twitter under the handle “Jayce Frost....

Mou: Why Man Utd are miles behind Clearly feeling restless during a flight back to London after his side’s 1-0 victory over Sunderland on Wednesday night, the Blues’ goalscorer had to find a way to entertain himself. He eventually did so at the expense of club physio Marcelo Ribeiro, who will think twice about sitting in front of the Spain international again.
