By JOHN RABY and AARON BEARD (AP Sports Writers)CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A federal lawsuit filed by a group of states that includes Colorado alleges the NCAA’s transfer rule for college athletes violates antitrust law.The lawsuit, filed in West Virginia’s northern district, challenges the NCAA’s authority to impose a one-year delay in the eligibility of certain athletes who transfer between schools.

What to consider before taking the second-home plunge

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:11:58 GMT

The no-going-back moment is etched in my memory. After four months of looking at beach condos, of flirting with the idea of a buying a getaway that we could also rent out, we finally had an offer in play. My husband, DC, and I were standing in the kitchen when our realtor — we call him Saint Bob — called to say that the sellers had accepted it.DC and I locked eyes. We mentally replayed all the discussions where we’d reasoned that this was the time, now that the kids were on their own, and while we were both still working. We’d rather have tried and been sorry, than never tried and wondered.I nodded. DC told Saint Bob to send the contract.Never mind that this was the first time in my adult, self-supporting life that I felt financially under control. I needed to mess that up.Saint Bob had taken us to see more than a dozen condos and sent links to many more to view online. Some were nice, but lacked an ocean view. Some had the view, but the complex was rundown. Some needed ...

By Jennifer Peltz and Michael R. Sisak | Associated PressNEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump returned to his civil fraud trial Thursday to spotlight his defense, renewing his complaints that the case is baseless and heaping praise on an accounting professor’s testimony that backed him up.With testimony winding down after more than two months, the Republican 2024 presidential front-runner showed up to watch New York University accounting professor Eli Bartov.The academic disputed the crux of New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit: that Trump’s financial statements were filled with fraudulently inflated asset values for such signature assets as his Trump Tower penthouse and his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.“My main finding is that there is no evidence whatsoever of any accounting fraud,” said Bartov, whom Trump’s lawyers hired to give expert perspective.
