🗣️As your dad, I’ve never measured you by stars, rankings, or headlines. I’ve measured you by your character when nobody was watching. Year 4 comes with BIG expectations because you’ve earned the respect of your coaches, teammates, and the college football world. Stay grounded, trust GOD, and keep attacking every rep. The name on the back of that jersey carries a legacy—but it’s your actions that continue to define it. No Quit…Just FITE. #ProudDad #TempeTexan #ForksUp #FiteBoyz

FIFA has DENIED Belgium's appeal against Folarin Balogun's return and will remain eligible to play for USMNT Monday night, per @JacobsBen
The request was deemed 'inadmissible' and the ruling will proceed as is.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”
Kevin Jennings’ story is one of the best in the sport. It’s time to tell it.
I went inside SMU’s first big Heisman campaign , and why it’s not as long a shot as you think.

According to prosecutors, the alleged plot involved luring two men to an apartment under the guise of a hookup.
Records say they were held at gunpoint, beaten and robbed as investigators say participants communicated through group texts and FaceTime.

Belgium has been granted the right to appeal against FIFA’s decision to suspend the one-game ban handed to Folarin Balogun, less than 24 hours out from the team’s round of 16 game against the United States.
Sources have now told The Athletic the Belgian federation has formally written to FIFA to appeal the matter, and the right to appeal has been granted.
Both U.S. Soccer and the Belgian federation were asked to make submissions by 5am PST on Monday morning, which has exasperated the Belgians who have not received the decision by FIFA to review, as it is not made public.
A member of the FIFA appeals committee – who does not represent a federation in either UEFA or CONCACAF, so as to avoid any potential conflict of interest – has been selected to hear the case.
