The report is not related to the domestic and sexual assault scandal that rocked the Baylor program and led the school to fire head coach Art Briles, Kendal Briles’ father. Baylor suspended Kendal Briles and Wallis for one game in 2015 and prohibited them from recruiting off-campus for 12 weeks after impermissible evaluations and contacts with Dallas-area prospects.

MORE: Worst crimes connected to sports Baylor announced it suspended Briles, “with the intent to terminate” him, at approximately 11:30 a.m.. ET in Waco, Texas. Taylor’s Twitter blew up around that same time. Much like his quick feet on defense, Young apparently has quick fingers, too. It started out pretty general. He’s not wrong, but he also can’t skip to the Bears’ 2016 opening game against Northwestern on Sept. 3....

Interim Bears head coach Jim Grobe, speaking at Big 12 Media Days, revealed that his team will play with around 70 scholarship players. MORE: Grobe’s Big 12 Media Days presser was a disaster “That’s an issue for us right now. I think one of our biggest challenges playing this season and going forward is numbers,” Grobe said. “I think we are at about 70 full-scholarship kids right now.” That’s 15 below the NCAA FBS division maximum of 85 scholarship players and means there is an average of one fewer scholarship player at more than two-thirds of a 22-position depth-chart....

It happened during the second game of the fifth season of the Big Bash League (BBL), Australia’s domestic T20 competition, a match that the Strikers eventually won by 19 runs. It so happened that Head had clearly nicked a John Hastings delivery, but it was also clear, albeit after the replays, that the ball had bounced before reaching the keeper, who in an anticipation of a catch, had appealed for it....

Nagpur, Nov 25 (PTI) The BCCI is all set to have its way at the ICC Futures Tours and Programmes (FTP) Meeting as the Board will keep Pakistan out of the six nations it will play during the upcoming World Test Championship. The two-day meeting is scheduled in Singapore from December 7. Along with the Pakistan snub, the BCCI will also look to correct what current regime terms as a flawed FTP wherein they will have two dedicated home series slots every year in February-March and October-November....

Shastri, who was entrusted with the role of overseeing the affairs of the men’s team after India’s embarrassing reversal of fortunes during the tour of England in 2014, did a pretty decent job considering the demoralising condition the players were in at the time. Prior to the 3-1 series loss against England, India had been whitewashed 4-0 twice, once against England and another time against Australia, after Zimbabwean Duncan Fletcher took over the reigns of India from Gary Kirsten post the 2011 World Cup win....

It’s the critical moment for Bill Clinton’s Balkans deal. As soon as the federation agreement was cleared away, the delegations turned to the core issues of a U.S.brokered peace agreement that would formally halve Bosnia, while retaining the shell of a central government. The plan makes quite a stack of paper-more than a dozen documents, including an 11-page Constitution that would establish a nine-member Bosnian presidency and a 36-member Parliament open to anyone save accused war criminals....

The ankle injury Vollmer suffered during last Sunday’s 26-20 overtime loss to the Jets is not as severe as initially thought, according to CSN New England. Vollmer was carted off the field in the first quarter and did not return. MORE: Power Rankings | Super Bowl odds: Patriots still AFC favorites Usually a right tackle, Vollmer has been playing on the left side since starting left tackle Nate Solder was lost for the season with a torn biceps in a win over the Cowboys on Oct....

We have to say, as we look through our choices for the best headphones (opens in new tab) there is a glaring lack of vibrancy and color in the options, as most manufacturers have gone for a sleek but understated visual style. So it’s refreshing to see Beats try something different with these color additions. Rather bizarrely, Beats didn’t make the announcement through a press release or post on its website, but instead collaborated with e-sports video gaming team FaZe to make the announcement on Instagram (opens in new tab)....

Why Magnus Carlsen is so special Because there is no shame in admitting that I’m a fan of Magnus Carlsen. Outrageous young talent has this tendency to ‘normalise’! Because the way he plays the game: Uncompromising! When asked why he didn’t offer a draw to Anand in the 10th game of the World championship match which could have sealed his title, he told his father and manager: “I’m a chess player....

You will find lots of photo editing apps on the web, but very few of them are as easy to use (or as feature-rich) as the excellent Luminar 4. The app itself is available for a one-time fee of $70. That’s a breath of fresh air when you compare it to the subscription model of Adobe Photoshop (though keep reading, because you can get it for less in this deal)....

Although Battlefield 2042 is available to early access players, those on Xbox Series X should probably wait a while, as dozens of players are reporting the title crashes the Xbox console and shuts it off completely. The news isn’t entirely surprising, as Battlefield 2042’s beta was full of issues, and it was reported Battlefield 2042 won’t be able to fix the frame rate issues in time for launch.
