Former North Carolina A&T players ruled ineligible during NCAA betting investigation

Published by skeptic

Two former North Carolina A&T men’s basketball players have been declared ineligible after declining to cooperate with an NCAA investigation examining possible sports betting activity tied to games involving the program. The ruling came from the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions following a lengthy enforcement review triggered by irregular betting patterns linked to several Aggies games during the 2024–25 season. Because investigators were unable to obtain key records or interviews, the committee said it could not determine whether actual wagering violations occurred. Even so, the refusal to participate in the investigation itself was treated as a major rules violation. 2 former North Carolina A&T student-athletes failed to cooperate with sports betting investigation. https://t.co/osIB4H4f1w — NCAA News (@NCAA_PR) March 6, 2026 The players identified in the case, Ryan Forrest and Landon Glasper, were no longer competing in college basketball when the decision was issued.

Italy prop Ferrari ruled out of Six Nations clash with Wales

Italy prop Ferrari ruled out of Six Nations clash with Wales

Published by Sam Flores

March 9 : Italy will be without prop Simone Ferrari for their final Six Nations match against Wales, the Italian Rugby Federation said on Monday, after he suffered a neck injury in his side’s landmark win over England at the weekend. Ferrari has started all four games for Italy in this year’s championship, including Saturday’s 23-18 victory at the Stadio Olimpico, Italy’s first ever win over England. The 31-year-old was replaced in the 51st minute of the game in Rome.   The tighthead has been pivotal in Italy’s impressive scrum during this year’s Six Nations in which his side also beat Scotland in their opening game. Ferrari will likely be replaced by either Muhamed Hasa or Mirco Spagnolo. Italy go to Cardiff on Saturday aiming to win three matches in one Six Nations for the first time, and have shown their strength in depth this year, overcoming injuries to key players such as Ange Capuozzo, Sebastian Negri and Tommaso Allan.

why the High Court ruled against the government, and what it means for the future of protest

Published by Sam Flores

The High Court has ruled that the UK government’s proscription of the group Palestine Action was unlawful. This is a welcome decision for advocates of free speech and the right to protest, but it is not the end of this story. Organisations can be proscribed (banned) if the home secretary believes they are “concerned in terrorism” under the definition in the Terrorism Act 2000. But the home secretary’s power to do this has restrictions – chiefly, that such a ban must be “proportionate”. The court decided Yvette Cooper, home secretary when the ban was introduced, was inconsistent with her own policy on this front, including by unlawfully considering that proscribing the group would offer “significant disruptive benefits” to the police. The court also found that the proscription unlawfully interfered with the right to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. A decision to proscribe is subject to human rights law. The home secretary cannot make a decision that disproportionately restricts the free speech rights of the group or, critically, others who might incidentally get caught …

ICE detainee’s death ruled a homicide by medical examiner

ICE detainee’s death ruled a homicide by medical examiner

Published by Sam Flores

The death of an immigrant detainee at an El Paso facility has been ruled a homicide, according to the final autopsy report obtained Thursday by NBC News. Geraldo Lunas Campos, 55, originally from Cuba, died Jan. 3 at Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Camp East Montana facility at Fort Bliss. “Based on the investigative and examination findings, it is my opinion that the cause of death is asphyxia due to neck and torso compression. The manner of death is homicide,” the El Paso county medical examiner concluded in the report. Homicide means a person causes the death of another one, regardless of intent. When ICE first reported his death in a Jan. 9 press release, it stated that Lunas Campos had experienced “medical distress.” The agency said medical staff responded and initiated lifesaving measures and requested emergency medical services. In an email to NBC News on Thursday, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson stated that Lunas Campos had attempted to take his own life and that the security staff had “immediately intervened to save his life.” …

Starmer’s staff cannot be ruled out of China Downing Street spying | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

China hacked the mobile phones of senior officials in Downing Street for several years, The Telegraph has reported. The spying operation is understood to have compromised senior members of the government, exposing their private communications to Beijing. State-sponsored hackers are known to have targeted the phones of some of the closest aides to Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak between 2021 and 2024. Breach went ‘right into the heart of Downing Street’ It is unclear whether the hack included the mobile phones of the prime ministers themselves, but one source with knowledge of the breach said it went “right into the heart of Downing Street.” Intelligence sources in the US indicated that the Chinese espionage operation, known as Salt Typhoon, was ongoing, raising the possibility that Sir Keir Starmer and his senior staff may also have been exposed. MI5 issued an “espionage alert” to Parliament in November about the threat of spying from the Chinese state. Sir Keir departs for China this week – the first visit by a British prime minister since Baroness …

The Surprising Books That Ruled Holiday Bookstore Sales The holidays couldn’t feel further away in this moment, but Christmas was just 15 days ago, and data from holiday book sales is starting roll out.
