Two players leave Temple

From college sports betting to student-athlete well-being, Karen Weaver emphasizes in her new book some of the biggest issues surrounding college athletics.

After an accident at volleyball practice, "her teeth were not in her head." But the Quakers' sophomore libero still leads the Ivy League in total digs and the nation in digs per set.

The Quakers intercepted Yale quarterback Dante Reno four times and freshman quarterback Miles Teodecki threw two touchdowns in his return from injury.

Palmer will be the first Philly-area basketball star to commit to Dawn Staley's Gamecocks since Camden's Nelly Perry in 2018-19. Staley is a North Philly native who previously coached at Temple.

Women's coaches participated for the first time as well. "A little late, but we'll take it," said West Chester women's coach Dierdre Kane.

Villanova is looking out for itself, and that's fine. But Kevin Willard's reaction to accurate reporting burned long-established goodwill within the Philadelphia basketball community.

The Wildcats had their final tuneup at Finneran Pavilion ahead of their season opener in Rome on Nov. 1 against Notre Dame.

What the 5-foot-9 Reed lacks in size, he makes up for in “desire and habits and work," which has helped him become quarterback Pat McQuaide’s favorite target this season as a sophomore.

Willard said changing the Big 5 format was “not a Villanova decision” and offered an alternate format that did not appeal to the other schools, according to sources with familiarity with negotiations.

Fran Dunphy and Steve Donahue shared a similar sentiment during Thursday’s annual Coaches vs. Cancer luncheon about keeping the Big 5 tradition alive, but understand “change happens.”

Penn State enters its bye week 3-4 and winless in the Big Ten. From their lack of a running game to defense carrying the load, these numbers explain why the Nittany Lions have struggled this season.

UConn's Sarah Strong and USC's JuJu Watkins, the last two AP Player of the Year winners, alongside SEC stars Madison Booker (Texas) and Mikayla Blakes (Vanderbilt) round out the team.

The first-year head coach also addressed the team’s blunder in a loss to Columbia last weekend, describing this season as “foundational” for the young Quakers.

The defensive back will return to Philly on Friday night when Yale faces Penn at Franklin Field. Between old teammates and family, Kamara expects to see “1,500 to 2,000 Yale fans” in attendance.

It's possible that a one-day Big 5 Classic tripleheader lives on. But with the current format nearing the end of its contract, Villanova was not interested in keeping with the status quo.

With four games remaining, the unbeaten Wildcats have already won the program's most games since 2019. They could also still win a first-ever Big East regular-season title.

Looking to get back in the win column, Keeler explained his decision to part ways with defensive line coach Cedric Calhoun and appoint Henry Baker as defensive play-caller.

Donahue thought his time of leading a college basketball program was over then an opportunity came at St. Joe’s. The longtime head coach found, “after all these years, a place that fits me the most.”

Campbell doesn’t plan to bring in backup quarterback Alex Manske, though the head coach said “his time will come.” Also, Koby Howard is considered questionable against Purdue on Oct. 31.

These are the items to watch in the coming weeks as the Jalen Hurts matter moves forward.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said 64 people had been arrested in connection with Saturday’s demonstration and 40 placed in police custody.

Additionally, Dean Wade remains questionable. Joel Embiid is not listed on Saturday's injury report after previously saying he'll only play in one game of this weekend's back-to-back.

The restoration follows a new U.S. diplomatic push to end the war. Russia agreed Wednesday to resume three-way negotiations with Washington and Kyiv next month.

The attack took place against a backdrop of rising violence in the West Bank since the Oct. 7 attacks. In recent weeks, extremist Jewish settlers have initiated dozens of attacks against Palestinians.

Voters will choose whether to give Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva a fourth term or let Flavio Bolsonaro fill the post his father, now on house arrest for attempting a coup, once held.
