When the Pittsburgh Pirates made the decisions they did at Major League Baseball's trade deadline, they didn't just expect some of those guys to come in and make an impact for them on the mound this year.

With NFL teams making roster decisions on Sunday, it opens up a lot of questions about what the future of some former Penn State players could look like. Penn State, which has some of the best players in the NFL right now, also has some guys in the middle of contract situations. One of them is Joey Porter Jr. with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Pirates began the season on a strong note and were even within striking distance of the MLB postseason at the start of August.

Duke is going to do what it has to do in the 2027 high school recruiting class to ensure it's one of the better teams in America from top to bottom. As we saw this past year, the Blue Devils are more than willing to enter the transfer portal and land some of the best players available.

Entering the 2026 NFL season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be the final stop for Aaron Rodgers in his Hall of Fame career. He plans to retire after 2026, making this upcoming season his last.

North Carolina won in its first game of the 2026 College Football season in the second year of the Bill Belichick experience.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. are in the middle of a contract standoff, and there is some real doubt about whether a deal will be agreed upon.

There are many reasons to be excited about Penn State entering this college football season, but at the top of that list is why they have a chance to make the College Football Playoff. Right now, Penn State isn't exactly in a great spot to do so, sitting around 15th or 20th in most polls.

The Duke Blue Devils didn't send many players to the 2026 NFL Draft this year, though there are still some notable former Duke players who could make teams.

In Week 0 of the College Football season, North Carolina beat TCU in a 15-10 win in Dublin, Ireland. It was a much better way to begin the season than what happened last year against TCU.
