Get an in-depth look at the forces driving the latest round of college conferences’ realignment in the latest edition of Sports Insider, with the disintegration of the Pac-12 and the ballooning of the Big Ten becoming the two most obvious symptoms that universities’ athletics departments are coping with rising pressures of financial competition by taking dramatic steps. And find out why Florida State leaders are taking their rants public.
In this week’s 45-page edition, sports fans can also find out who the best buys of the trade deadline in the majors last week are turning out to be — with a concise look at the needs players fill, what they bring to their new teams’ rosters and how they’ve fared in early competition.
Also, get analysis of why gymnast Simone Biles’ return to competition earned high marks literally and figuratively as the success of her first “tune-up” event signals big things to come.
Plus: A close look at Saturday’s alarming brawl between the White Sox and the Guardians in Cleveland; updates on Georgia Tech football, including its latest recruiting commitment in the trenches; why Wilt Chamberlain’s move to Los Angeles decades ago paved the way for the free agents of today; the importance of Tiger Woods taking on a formal leadership role among PGA Tour players really matters — and much more to read all week long in this week’s Sports Insider.
