Kansas freshman Tyran Stokes calls matchup with Kentucky 'personal'

CHICAGO (AP) — It came down to Kansas and Kentucky, and Tyran Stokes decided to join the Jayhawks. On Tuesday night, he showed the Wildcats exactly what they were missing. Stokes looked quite comfortable in the first big test of his freshman season, helping No. 15 Kansas to an 89-69 victory over No. 24 Kentucky. The 6-foot-8 guard had 23 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. “When I chose Kansas and I knew that game was going to be here, it was personal for sure,” Stokes said. “But we got the (win) ... and that’s all that matters.” Stokes is from Louisville, Kentucky, and he grew up cheering for the Cardinals and North Carolina. He starred at Ranier Beach High School in Seattle during his senior season, becoming the consensus No. 1 recruit in the country. Stokes also considered Oregon before narrowing the field to his two finalists. “Growing up, obviously you know the tradition and the rivalry between Louisville and Kentucky, so being from Louisville I still got (those) same emotions as if I was playing for Louisville,” Stokes said.

NITA unveils first-ever regional transit budget

The Northern Illinois Transit Authority released the first-ever unified transit budget for the entire Chicagoland region on Nov. 2. As part of the NITA Act transit funding and governance overhaul, what was previously known as the Regional Transportation Authority has been gradually assuming more powers and responsibilities. Under the arrangement that was in place between 1983 and mid-2026, CTA, Metra and Pace had a largely free hand to plan their own budgets, and while RTA had to approve them, the tight statutory deadlines gave it little time to make changes. The new arrangement is more akin to how cities develop their budgets, with transit agencies functioning like departments — they submit their budget proposals that NITA then takes and uses to develop a single budget document.
