College football is in the midst of some huge changes, led by the Power Four conferences. The Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, and the Southeastern Conference, have come together in a bid to unite college football and, potentially, improve on the situation as it is under the NCAA.
Currently, they are circulating a document to Power Four schools. On the one hand, signing the contract will limit the schools’ abilities to sue over enforcement decisions. But, on the other, a failure to sign could see schools expelled from their leagues and games against member schools boycotted.

Joshua Quartey, Pro-boxer update
Quartey in Action
Joshua Quartey made light work of Togolese southpaw, Kokou Vinyo De Souza, in Lome on May 17, to make it three straight wins to begin the year. He sets sights on accomplishing his big career dreams. Significantly, the win puts him number one in Ghana’s national middleweight ratings, ahead of very good contenders like Henry Malm, Derrick “Show Love” Quaye, Shakul Samed, Mustapha Kamoko and Ebenezer Sowah.
The 6th round KO victory, at the Terrain du Lycee Agoe in the Togo capital. It followed two previous stoppage wins, in the same city in February and April, marking a perfect rebound from a disappointing end to 2024. That was when he caved into a first career defeat.
