The Connection

Dayton transfer Koby Brea, one of the nation's best 3-point shooters, announced his commitment to Kentucky on Wednesday. Later in the day, point guard Kerr Kriisa also joined the Kentucky program, raising the number of newcomers to nine since Mark Pope became coach of the Wildcats. Kriisa played three seasons for Arizona before spending 2023-24 at West Virginia. He is a native of Estonia and confirmed his decision to ESPN.

The University of Houston has executed a reverse by informing the NFL that it plans to proceed with adding an alternate uniform that features the Columbia blue color scheme. The decision comes approximately six months after the NFL's merchandising and licensing division threatened legal action in a cease-and-desist letter, citing the school's "blatant copying" of the old Houston Oilers. The Cougars initially wore their Columbia blue uniforms in a 17-14 season-opening win over Texas-San Antonio on Sept. 2, 2023. "We literally have a story we can show the city uses it," athletic director Chris Pezman told the Houston Chronicle. "This...

Riley, who was appointed to a three-year term, replaces Washington athletic director Pat Chun on the 13-member committee. "We are pleased to have Mike join the committee," CFP executive director Bill Hancock said in a statement Friday. "He has significant experience as a player and coach, and he loves college football.

He guided the Beavers to eight bowl games (6-2 record) and the Cornhuskers to two (1-1). Riley went 14-34 as head coach of the NFL's San Diego Chargers from 1999-2001 and has also served as a head coach in the Canadian Football League, World League of American Football, Alliance of American Football and USFL. --Field Level Media

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

The Denver City Council learned more Wednesday about the workforce development component of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program. The city has transitioned the way it helps migrants, closing shelters and instead placing 800 people in the asylum program. That includes people who had been staying in non-congregate hotel shelters, all but one of which have closed. New migrant arrivals will not be eligible for the six-month work program until some graduate, according to a presentation by city staff. The city intends to keep 500 people in the work program at a time, according to Tony Anderson, workforce development manager for the city.

Cornerback Eric Stokes can become a free agent in March after the Green Bay Packers declined the 2025 team option in his contract.
                Drafted 29th out of Georgia in 2021, Stokes and the Packers could work out a contract extension before the current deal expires. But he'll likely have some proving to do before general manager Brian Gutekunst floats new paperwork.
                Picking up the fifth-year option would've been worth only...
