One sentence in a USA Today story concerned a sitting U.S. congressman so much that he wrote Florida State University’s president about it on official House of Representatives letterhead. Did FSU football star Deion Sanders actually go to class? “If the President of a major university is not interested in whether or not his students go to school,” U.S. Rep. …

As any college football fan will tell you, kickers at that level are particularly maddening. It really makes one appreciate how accurate NFL kicker are.

Michigan football has several potential first-round NFL draft picks for the 2025 class, with most of them coming from the junior class. But for the most part, they’re commonly discussed: cornerback Will Johnson, defensive tackle Mason Graham, and tight end Colston Loveland. But there’s another who gets some discussion, but perhaps not enough: defensive tackle Kenneth Grant. Grant’s counterpart, Graham, …
