Former Bulldogs player Emerson Kampen, who had been serving as a graduate assistant, will fill the vacant assistant coaching position created when Holtmann took over for Brandon Miller, who took a medical leave of absence nearly two weeks ago. Another former Butler player, Brandon Crone, arrives from Nova Southeastern to become the program’s director of basketball operations. That position had not been filled since July, when T.J. Saint left for a job with the Detroit Pistons....

What do you mean when you say we’re in a new Gilded Age? Income inequality in 2005 was exactly the same as it was in the 1920s. And a lot of behav ior is the same. The giant pri vate philanthropies, the exhi bitionist display of wealth, and the malefactors of great wealth insisting that they’re doing great things for us all. You look back fondly on the 1950s, when economic gains were more broadly shared....

The qualifiers for the much-criticised tournament is set to begin on March 15th in Bhubaneswar. But Bajaj states that he is not even remotely interested in participating in the competition, highlighting budget constraints and the format. “For the Super Cup, if you have one bad match, you’re out but you have to pay two-month salary to the players,” he told Goal in an exclusive interview. “I have just come to know that I have to pay for my own boarding, lodging and travel and there is no subsidy....

Gattuso was appointed in November 2017 as a replacement for Vincenzo Montella, but he only signed a contract to the end of the season. Milan have improved under the leadership of the former Italy midfielder, although a Europa League exit to Arsenal was a setback for the Rossoneri. Gattuso, however, appears to have done enough to earn the chance to take Milan into next season, with his side unbeaten in 10 Serie A matches, winning their last five games in the league....

Mirallas will join the Greek outfit until the end of the 2017-18 season and he will hope to help them push for the Super League title. The Belgium international has been limited to just five Premier League appearances this season, starting only two, and has not featured since November. Mirallas is contracted to Everton until 2020, having signed a three-year deal last May, but leaves this month temporarily to return to his former side, who announced the deal on Twitter on Saturday....

Some companies will tell employees to wear face coverings but will not enforce a mask rule for customers. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves said on Tuesday that businesses could make their own COVID policies, adding: “The governor’s office is getting out of the business of telling people what they can and can’t do.” Workers and shoppers at Best Buy, Target, CVS, Walgreens and JCPenney are still required to wear face coverings, CNN reported....

The nation’s most-complete back — and possibly its most-dynamic player — was suspended indefinitely last week and missed the Bulldogs’ game against Missouri. It’s been reported that he could miss the rest of the season. With that in mind, he drops completely off our board this week. That makes way for a first-timer: Dak Prescott. The Mississippi State quarterback wasn’t great against No. 2 Auburn, but when the Bulldogs needed him most, he delivered....

As lawmakers wrangle over boosting direct relief payments from a maximum of $600 to $2,000, McConnell has moved to bring a proposal tying this action to other measures less palatable to many of those who want the increase. “This is exactly why people don’t trust Congress,” Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) wrote on Twitter, in response to details of McConnell’s proposal—which would tie the stimulus increase to funding investigations into voter fraud and also look to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1996....

Speaking from the Senate floor, the minority leader said the new president should “remember that he does not owe his election to the far left.” Among the first actions of the Biden administration were executive orders aimed at tackling the COVID-19 crisis, rejoining the Paris Climate Accord and protecting gay and transgender people from discrimination in workplaces, schools and other areas. The proposals were widely supported by Democrats and rights groups and enacted key policy pledges from the 2020 campaign that won Biden the largest ever number of votes in a presidential election....

Recently, Miz has transformed himself into a babyface in the WWE after years of being one of the top heels in the company. A lot of that has to do with Miz and Mrs., which shows fans and non-fans the family man known as Mike Mizanin.

Hegar won the Democratic nomination in the Lone Star State’s runoff election Tuesday with a narrow victory over Royce West. If Hegar is successful in November, her election will mark the first time a liberal has represented the state in Congress since 1994. Hegar first arrived on the scene in 2018 when she narrowly lost her congressional bid against Republican Representative John Carter. Before wading into politics, she was a pilot in the Air Force and was awarded a Purple Heart after she was wounded on her third tour to Afghanistan....

Mkhitaryan came off the bench to seal a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford on Monday, stunningly steering a backheel past Jordan Pickford. The Armenia international said it was his best, although it should have been ruled out for offside. “That was the best goal I’ve ever scored,” Mkhitaryan told MUTV. “I was very excited. The first thing I did was look at the assistant and I saw it was not ruled as offside so I just started to celebrate....

Evra warns Pogba over Beckham trap The Everton full-back is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after a challenge from Wales defender Neil Taylor left him with a double fracture. And Mkhitaryan, who is set to face the Toffees in Tuesday’s Premier League clash, has sent his well-wishes to Coleman, insisting he hopes he returns to action very soon. He told MUTV: “I have seen the injury to Coleman and I feel sorry for him....

While the teams each year are composed of the best of the best, there will always be players who miss the cut but should have been on the team. Whether they missed out because of crowded positions, a lack of available spots on the roster or just an oversight, those players will feel as though they were unfairly left off. This year is no different, of course. Pitchers with legitimate Cy Young chances didn’t make the cut....

The Washington Post reported Sunday that MLB and Minor League Baseball are lobbying Congress to help MLB organizations avoid paying higher salaries to minor-leaguers through a proposed provision in the federal spending bill that is going before lawmakers this week. According to the Post, the lobbying is part of an effort to make moot a lawsuit against MLB that, among other things, seeks higher wages for players. Baseball is lobbying Congress to exempt it from federal labor laws and include the exemption in the spending plan....
