By MARY CLARE JALONICK and EDDIE PELLS WASHINGTON (AP) — A bill that proposes to fix some of the biggest problems in college sports — spiraling spending, constant lawsuits and a transfer portal run amok — cleared a major hurdle Tuesday when the Senate voted 74-24 to halt debate and move the measure one step closer to a final up-or-down vote. The Protect College Sports Act, a bill co-sponsor Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called “a bipartisan solution designed to bring order to the chaos” easily cleared the 60-vote threshold it needed to stop the filibuster. Co-sponsor Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said…

It’s in part to motivate donors. But it’s also to explain what’s happening on the field. I’m doing more with less! I don’t have a chance with this budget!On the other hand, athletic directors, who typically take…

Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien wanted his team to enjoy winning a football game. He’d spent the last month, the last six months, the last eight or nine months – however long the calendar wanted to stretch to find an inflection point – assembling a roster that was capable of defeating an opponent, and he knew the players needed a cornerstone from which to build. The Friday night matchup against Rutgers entailed so many different emotions because of the national audience and the emotion of playing in the annual Red Bandanna Game that he knew that the team needed…
