Cavan Sullivan’s grandfather, Larry Sullivan, served in the Vietnam War. The thought of his grandfather was fresh in his mind when he made his debut for the U.S. men’s national team against Peru on Sept. 26.

For Cavan and his older brother and Union teammate Quinn Sullivan, who previously played for the USMNT, competing for their country is their “way of serving.”

“When the national anthem was playing, there were goosebumps and chills down my body,” Cavan Sullivan said. “I couldn’t stop smiling because I know how proud he is watching. Usually, I see him in the crowd. He gives a little salute when the national anthem’s done, so it was incredible.

The NCAA’s proposal to move Division-I men’s soccer to a fall-to-spring calendar is set to fail after at least 241 schools voted against it.

Tonight LeBron James and Mike Gansey return to Cleveland for the first time as Sixers.

For some who were there for that now-viral photo of them as Northeast Ohio high-schoolers, it’s “surreal” to see them link again.

New: Nine current and former members of the Stanford Cheer Team told @StanfordDaily that the Head Coach has neglected concerns of safety, overworking cheerleaders to the point of serious injury, including a concussion and back injury. They described a hostile team environment that she allegedly created through yelling and public humiliation: https://t.co/OKsKgbJqwe

Landon Dickerson said QB1 hasn’t been decided. Said Joe Milton and Tanner McKee split reps today and “may the best man win.”

And to think, the talking heads were making fun of the #Eagles for having 4 QBs on its roster to open season. Now, checks notes, Week 9 and none of those are starting.

The Palestra is celebrating 100 years of basketball. The Cathedral is one of the most sacred basketball places not just in Philadelphia, but the whole country.

Drexel’s newcomers find some second-half rhythm, but not enough to hold off No. 9 Virginia.

Turnovers and an inability to generate offense doomed Drexel from the start in an 89-60 loss to Virginia, one of the toughest opponents on the Dragons’ nonconference schedule.
