You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
The Power Four is now fully aligned. The ACC became the final major conference to ban professional athletes from returning to college football and basketball, joining the Big Ten, Big Twelve, and SEC in drawing a hard line on eligibility. The era of pros cycling back through college programs is officially over across the board.
Shifting to the field, Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit from Bears safety Xavier Woods during joint practice Thursday. Robinson's teammates called it cheap, and the play drew immediate attention from both sidelines. The league will be watching how this one gets handled before the preseason rolls on.
And across the Atlantic, Arsenal are turning up the heat on their pursuit of Julian Alvarez, pushing to pry the Argentine forward away from Manchester City. Meanwhile Aston Villa have made direct contact for AC Milan's Rafael Leao, and Manchester City themselves are circling Everton's Iliman Ndiaye. The summer window is burning fast and the Premier League's biggest clubs are not done yet.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
