I know it’s football season but this could be the year for an American to win a grand slam (first since 2003 Roddick).

A lot of Americans with chances at the US Open. Four are already into the Round of 16. Three more have a chance to join them today. Sinner is out, Djokovic met Father Time and Alcaraz is coming off a long rehab for his wrist.

Shelton, Fritz and Tiafoe lead the way, in my opinion.

Carlos still looks the favorite but this is the best chance by pure numbers I can remember.

i don’t think you can go to training camp without a contract.

This is from a yahoo article.

The NCAA does not allow football players to return to college if they get drafted or sign a professional contract. That appeared to be the case for Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson, for example. Hutson, who returned to the Longhorns after he filed a separate successful eligibility lawsuit, had gone undrafted and participated in NFL training camp but didn't sign compensation contracts. But some of the players in the Louisiana case not only participated in training camps, but also signed and played in the NFL preseason.

Hutson played 48 games for the Longhorns over the past four years, including 10 starts at center and left guard in 2025. After going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, Hutson participated in rookie minicamps with both the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys, ultimately failing to land a permanent contract.

Weeks after the passage of five-for-five -- with Texas facing injury and depth questions along the offensive line -- Hutson filed a lawsuit to gain eligibility. He was granted a temporary restraining order, joining a wave of college athletes who have returned to the field via the courts.

Hutson's case does not fall under the specific scenarios banned by the SEC's rule. While players typically receive stipends for participating in minicamps, Hutson never officially signed a contract with an NFL team because one was never offered.

Awful Ohio State vs. Indiana noon start will end up being a blessing in disguise​

The one time we might actually be happy with a Big Noon Kickoff.

This is going to be a showdown that Ohio State and Ryan Day will have serious revenge on their minds for. You're not alone if you've circled Oct. 17 on your schedule, as the Buckeyes will travel to Indiana for a rematch of the Big Ten title game last December. We now know that contest will get started at 12 p.m., with Big Noon Kickoff on the way.

What?! Chairs have been thrown in anger, while both fanbases are annoyed beyond belief that this epic contest is going to have an early start. We get it. At the same time, could this end up being a blessing in disguise for Day and his players? Here's why this 12 p.m. kickoff is actually beneficial.

Ohio State vs. Indiana getting the Big Noon Kickoff treatment has fans on both sides annoyed​

Sure, on one hand you can make the case these two of the top teams in the country should never go to war in the opening window. However, nothing can be done if FOX prioritized making sure they had the rights for this one. On top of that, it truly could end up being a good thing for the Buckeyes.

Think about it: there's a reason so many Ohio State fans hate when this is the case for a home game, blasting it for being awful left and right. People aren't able to tailgate for as long as they want, and their day has to get started much earlier. If this was a night game or something, Hoosiers fans would be FIRED UP in the stands, after a full day of eating and drinking with their friends.

Do we really expect the same kind of energy for a noon start? Definitely not. There's no question that Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, and others are going to benefit from the atmosphere in Bloomington not being the same as a night game showdown. Yes, it's still going to be a tough environment, no one is arguing with that.
