FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — The University of Arkansas trustees voted unanimously Friday to instruct system President Jay B. Silveria to explore ways to make the athletic department more competitive, with an emphasis on football. The resolution came after the Razorbacks lost 43-10 at then-No. 20 Utah on Saturday under first-year coach Ryan Silverfield to drop to 1-1. Utah now is ranked 17th. Arkansas went 2-10 last season, the third time finishing with that record since 2018.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has struggled to pass major legislation this year, putting off debates on spending, defense, cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. But in its final weeks in session as the midterm elections approach, the Senate can agree on one thing — addressing college sports. The Senate voted twice this week to move forward on legislation to overhaul the rules and financing around the nation’s college sports. It's an effort to put guardrails around skyrocketing spending, prevent constant legal battles and restore order to what the bill’s supporters say is chaos in athletic programs. More than 70 senators are already backing the bill, and final votes could come as soon as next week.
