The Michigan Wolverines are atop the men’s college basketball world for the first time in 37 years. By winning the 2026 NCAA Men’s Tournament on Monday night, Michigan claimed its first national title since 1989 — and a whole lot was different in the sport back then. With that in mind, here’s everything that was happening in the Big Ten Conference in 1989 – including with present-day Big Ten teams that weren’t in the conference in the 1988-89 season.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza has long been the projected No. 1 overall pick, which is owned by the Las Vegas Raiders. But where will the other top quarterback prospects land in the 2026 NFL Draft? Here are my predictions for five of the top passers not named Mendoza: Ty Simpson (Alabama): New York Jets 2025 stats (15 games): 64.5% completion rate for 3,567 yards and 28 TDs with 5 INTsMeasurables: 6-foot-1, 211 pounds Jets coach Aaron Glenn has already committed to veteran Geno Smith as his 2026 starter. That would allow Simpson to take somewhat of a redshirt year as a rookie, even if he’s a first-round pick, to develop and grasp an NFL offense (barring injury or significant struggles by Smith). It’s the best-case scenario for the former Alabama standout, who started just 15 games in college. With Smith under contract for just a year, that would enable a smooth transition to Simpson in 2027. Garrett Nussmeier (LSU): Arizona Cardinals 2025 stats (9 games): 67.4% completion rate for 1,927 yards and 12 TDs with 5 INTsMeasurables: 6-foot-2, 203 pounds Let’s assume the Cardinals stay at No. 3 overall. They’d have to accept the possibility that Ty Simpson won’t be around at the top of the second round, where they have the 34th overall pick. In that case, Nussmeier makes sense for Arizona in the third or fourth round. The investment there isn’t so big that you couldn’t pivot off him quickly if he doesn’t pan out as a challenger to journeymen quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew in 2026. Nussmeier’s tape in 2024, when he played a full season and ranked fifth in the FBS in passing yards, would give the Cardinals reason to be hopeful. Carson Beck (Miami): Green Bay Packers 2025 stats (16 games): 72.4% completion rate for 3,813 yards and 30 TDs with 12 INTs Measurables: 6-foot-5, 233 pounds After losing Malik Willis in free agency, the Packers need a No. 2 quarterback they can trust in case something were to happen to starter Jordan Love, who hasn’t played a full 17-game season since 2023. Cue Beck, who turns 24 in November, was a three-year college starter (two seasons at Georgia, one at Miami) and could be a Day 3 pick. He played in an SEC Championship Game and four College Football Playoff games over the past two years, making him as seasoned of a rookie quarterback as you can ask for. The Packers’ current backups are veteran Desmond Ridder and 2025 draft pick Kyle McCord, neither of whom appeared in a game last season. Drew Allar (Penn State): Los Angeles Rams 2025 stats (6 games): 64.8% completion rate for 1,100 yards and 8 TDs with 3 INTsMeasurables: 6-foot-5, 228 pounds The Rams are essentially going year-by-year with reigning MVP Matthew Stafford and would like a veteran No. 2 behind him, but they’d benefit from having a young quarterback they can develop too. Stetson Bennett, a former fourth-round pick, hasn’t made a regular season appearance in three NFL seasons, so that boat may have sailed. Allar was inconsistent in his three years as Penn State’s starter, but he possesses great size and can make every throw, which could allow Sean McVay to see a long-term vision with him. [2026 NFL Draft Confidential: Unfiltered Scouting Takes On Top 5 QBs] Taylen Green (Arkansas): Washington Commanders 2025 stats (12 games): 60.7% completion rate for 2,714 yards and 19 TDs with 11 INTs; 139 carries for 777 yards and 8 TDsMeasurables: 6-foot-6, 227 pounds The Commanders have their young franchise quarterback in Jayden Daniels and one of the league’s best backups in Marcus Mariota, but the long and rangy Green makes sense as a potential QB3. He was a dual-threat quarterback at the college level with his incredible athleticism (4.37-second 40-yard dash, 43½-inch vertical), a skill set that fits the offense that Washington has built around Daniels.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Donald Trump has been hurling insults at Joe Biden for years.
And like many of Trump’s worst impulses, that tendency is often applauded by members of his base.
But even some of the president’s supporters believe that he crossed the line with his latest remarks about his predecessor.
While addressing the media this week, Trump ranted against NATO members and other allies who have not offered to help the US reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing conflict with Iran.
“You know who else didn’t help us? South Korea didn’t help us. We’ve got 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect them from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well,” the president began.
From there, Trump claimed that the North Korean dictator is a fan of his — which is really not the flex he seems to think it is — and pointed out that Kim was not a fan of Joe Biden’s.
“Do you notice, he said very nice things about me. He used to call Joe Biden a mentally r-tarded person, OK? So, don’t tell me about your stuff,” the president said.
“[Of] Joe Biden, he said, ‘He’s a mentally r-tarded person.’ He was so nasty to Joe Biden, it was terrible. But to me—he likes Trump.”
As multiple outlets have pointed out, there’s no record of Kim referring to Biden as “r-tarded.”
North Korean state media had referred to Biden an “imbecile” and a “fool of low IQ” after Biden criticized Kim as a “tyrant.”
But that’s just the kind of rhetoric that comes out of North Korea on a daily basis.
It’s worth noting that Kim has referred to Trump as a “dotard” (an insult for someone who’s pervceived as being old and slow), so they’re not exactly besties.
And that’s a good thing! Kim is a brutal dictator, and US presidents shouldn’t strive to be friends with them.
In other news, in his profanity-laced Easter Sunday social media post, Trump gave Iran until tonight to reach a ceasefire deal, otherwise, he says, the US will blow up their bridges and power plants.
It’s the kind of move that could result in a lasting global recession, but that might not be enough to stop us. Stay tuned!

Vanity Fair has been doing some editing, but it may be too little, too late.
During a Saturday Night Live cast interview, Chloe Fineman shared a startling anecdote.
She said that she was once fired from a job after pantsing a 6-year-old boy.
The backlash was swift. And selective editing doesn’t seem to be making that go away.
In a recent video, SNL cast members played a game in which they guessed how well they know each other.
This kind of video usually crops up among besties or romantic partners, but also works for castmates. (Especially funny castmates!)
In addition to Fineman, the video featured Mikey Day, Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padilla, Jane Wickline, and James Austin Johnson.
The trouble began when Fineman asked her castmates if any of them could guess what job fired and then rehired her when she was only 16 — and why.
There were various guesses, most suspecting a restaurant or retail gig. In reality, she was a camp counselor.
The now 37-year-old revealed that she was “fired as a camp counselor.” This would have been about 21 years ago.
“I pantsed a boy,” she explained. It was, it turned out, retaliation.
“He would lift my shirt all the time,” Fineman revealed. “It was a different time.”
She detailed: “He would be like, ‘Hey, could I have a hug?’ And then I’d go to hug him and he’d lift my shirt, like a dick.”
Fineman added: “And then I was like, ‘I’m going to get back at you.’”
“And so we were on a hike,” Fineman narrated.
“And,” she continued, “I was like, ‘Hey, Ollie, go look over there. It’s a hawk.’”
Presumably — hopefully — the now-adult-but-then-6-year-old is not actually named Oliver.
“He looked,” Fineman described, “and then I yanked his pants down.”
She added: “And then I was fired.”
Because the internet is forever (only in the bad ways — save the things that you love and put effort into so that they will live offline no matter what), multiple folks have documented how the video has changed since it was uploaded on March 31.
Vanity Fair appears to have changed aspects of the video, removing any mention of the boy being 6 years old.
Additionally, Fineman originally told her co-stars that the child’s “ding-a-ling was out” due to the pantsing.
“He wasn’t wearing underpants, and then a giant school bus drove by,” she said in the original video.
There is a line where an anecdote about youthful misbehavior starts to sound like a description of a crime. This may be a factor in Vanity Fair‘s edits.
Ashley Padilla quipped: “Oh, honey, I think you’re on a list somewhere.”
The backlash is understandable — and palpable, if you’re brave enough to check YouTube comments. But some of it is out of proportion.
We are talking about a 16-year-old exercising extremely poor judgment over two decades ago. It shouldn’t have happened, but it did.
Also, as is so often the case when comedians (or Robert Pattinson) share personal anecdotes, aspects may have been exaggerated or entirely fabricated.
One of the key ingredients of being funny is surprising and shocking people, sometimes at the expense of things like good taste or honesty. We can’t rule out that Fineman exaggerated for laughs — only to regret it.
