TCU closing in on adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila

TCU is closing in on adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila two weeks into the 2026-27 college basketball season, On3’s Joe Tipton confirms. Avila, the reigning Atlantic-10 Player of the Year, earned a preliminary injunction to play a fifth season from a St. Louis City Circuit Judge last week. This seemingly cleared the way for Avila to once again suit up for the Billikens this season. However, the College Sports Commission stepped in and blocked his route back to Saint Louis, as the program’s roster was already at its 15-player limit. This ended his stint with the program. $39.99 gets you a...

Illinois health officials prep to transfer patients from metro-east hospital

Illinois regulators are preparing to potentially transfer patients out of Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City and ambulances are being sent to other hospitals. The hospital is still open, but the Illinois Department of Public Health confirmed Gateway and another medical center owned by the same company are on bypass status due to “staffing instability.” St. Louis-based KMOV first reported the development. The operators of the 278-bed safety net hospital have been late paying staff. An IDPH spokesman said that the agency had alerted the state’s labor and employment security departments about unmet payroll at Gateway and at Vista Medical Center in Waukegan, Illinois. Both hospitals are owned by California-based company American Healthcare Systems. “Gateway and Vista are private, for-profit hospitals whose operations and finances are managed by American Healthcare Systems. Their lack of communication, transparency, and responsible financial management and contingency planning is extremely concerning,” the spokesman for the IDPH said in an email. “The Illinois Department of Public Health’s highest immediate priority is the health and safety of the patients and has been working and communicating with hospital administrative leaders in this regard.” Representatives from Gateway Regional Medical Center and American Healthcare Systems did not respond to
