FEATURE| Astros’ owner Jim Crane hosts a DII baseball tournament with his alma mater, Central Missouri, as the home team every year. As tradition, some of his former teammates attended, so I dug into his pitching career & how he stays connected to home. chron.com/sports/astros/…

LVann_Sports's tweet card. Before Jim Crane was the chairman of the Houston Astros, he was an ace pitcher for the Central Missouri Mules.

The White House’s fact sheet on Trump’s executive order on college athlete compensation says that the Alston Supreme Court case was about NIL. It…was not.

Had fun talking to more @UHCougarFB players yesterday about transfer quarterback Conner Weigman and what they are doing as a team to bond with 30 new transfers chron.com/sports/college…

LVann_Sports's tweet card. Conner Weigman, a Texas A&M transfer and native Houstonian, is treating his offensive line in the most Houston way possible.

.@UHCougarFB has one of the top tight ends on College Football 26 🎮🏈— I asked Tanner Koziol what his life has been like since the game’s release #NCAAFootball chron.com/sports/college…

LVann_Sports's tweet card. The Houston Cougars have a monster of a 6-foot-7 tight end from the Midwest, and EA Sports seems to think he's primed for a big season.

Micah Parsons is a big part of the Dallas Cowboys' brand right now. If you're going to lose in the playoffs (or not make them) every year, at least you have a memorable playmaker. Very least they could do is recognize that.

OK props to the PR staff of colleges who put all these fun facts about football players in their player bios... like "eats 2 rice krispies and drinks 2 gatorades on gameday" "can play the tuba" "has random dinosaur knowledge" This is excellent stuff to work off of for features
