Dec 7, 2024; Charlotte, NC, USA; Clemson Tigers quarterback Cade Klubnik (2) celebrates after winning the 2024 ACC Championship game at Bank of America Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-Imagn Images A likely top-10 matchup highlights the opening week of prime-time Saturday college football coverage on ABC this season, as LSU will visit Clemson in South Carolina on Aug. 30.
The matchup will feature two highly touted quarterbacks in Garrett Nussmeier and Cade Klubnik, respectively.
The battle of the Tigers takes center stage at 7:30 p.m. ET, with ABC’s other Saturday coverage during Week 1 featuring Syracuse against Tennessee in Atlanta (noon ET) followed by Alabama at Florida State at 3:30 p.m. ET.
The next day, Notre Dame will take on Miami in Coral Gables, Fla., at 7:30 p.m. ET, which will follow Virginia Tech against South Carolina in Atlanta on 3 p.m. ET. Bill Belichick’s anticipated North Carolina debut will air on ABC on Labor Day, with the Tar Heels hosting TCU in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Opening week will kick off on Thursday, Aug. 28, with a doubleheader consisting of Boise State at South Florida (5:30 p.m. ET) and Nebraska versus Cincinnati (9 p.m. ET) in Kansas City, Mo.
What makes Aug. 30 a little more special is that ESPN announced that day’s edition of College GameDay will be the last for 89-year-old Lee Corso, leading many to believe that the show will broadcast from Florida State, where Corso played from 1953-57.
The full broadcast lineups for the first three weeks at each major network are expected to be announced on May 29.

Cavaliers offseason outlook: Don’t panic and run it all back
Sometimes you can do everything right and still miss your target because the stars simply didn't align at at the right time.In many ways, that's the story of the 2024-25 Cleveland Cavaliers.The Cavs started their season well before it actually began, hiring head coach Kenny Atkinson, a move that helped Cleveland catapult itself to the No. 1 seed in the East with Atkinson earning Coach of the Year.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOne of the main adjustments Atkinson made was a bigger reliance on depth, leading to fewer minutes for the team's primary stars. The strategy was fairly straightforward in the sense that it would help save tired legs for when the postseason rolled around.Unfortunately, we didn't really see that investment bear fruit as the Cavs began picking up injuries at the most inopportune time.The Pacers said goodbye to the Cavs on Tuesday night.

Cavaliers’ reward for moderate success is a series of difficult offseason choices
It took a long time for Ty Jerome and De’Andre Hunter to get here. Teammates at the University of Virginia for two years who won a national championship together in 2019, the two became best friends who stayed in constant touch through the ups and downs of their first five pro seasons.Then, out of the blue, both erupted with career years in 2024-25. At midseason, Hunter was traded to Cleveland, and he and Jerome were reunited — on a team called the Cavaliers, no less — their lockers often paired next to each other on road trips. Cleveland won its first 12 games with the two in the lineup, briefly taking the two to a staggering 46-3 record lifetime when they played together before some late-season losses took some shine off the percentage.AdvertisementNow it might be over, chemistry and friendship […]

Roki Sasaki's rookie year has not been going according to plan, and now the Los Angeles Dodgers are hitting the pause button.The team announced Tuesday it is placing the Japanese phenom on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement. Reliever J.P. Feyereisen was recalled in a corresponding move.Unless his placement is retroactive, Sasaki will be eligible to return on May 28.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe move comes with Sasaki holding a 4.72 ERA, a 6.17 FIP, a 1.485 WHIP and a bunch of other unimpressive numbers.

Here are 16 baseball figures besides Pete Rose reinstated from MLB’s ineligible list
A new policy has opened the door to Cooperstown for 17 people MLB had previously banned for misconduct.In a sweeping decision, commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday that MLB had reinstated deceased people the league had deemed “permanently ineligible” under Rule 21 of its code of conduct. Going forward, ineligibility will end once a person dies.AdvertisementManfred’s announcement came in response to a petition from the attorney for former player and manager Pete Rose, MLB’s all-time leader in hits and games played, a 17-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion.Rose, who died in September at 83 years old, has famously been absent from the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
