Will she stay or will she go? We mean Anna Wintour, of course. While the Page Six item in The New York Post that Wintour will step down in July as artistic director of Condé Nast and editor in chief of American Vogue after her daughter Bee Shaffer's wedding has been firmly denied by Condé - and dismissed by many others - other sources tell WWD that…

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's advocacy of the idea has generated a lot of interest (or outrage) in recent weeks. The "secular" camp has held this as the ultimate proof of Kejriwal being nothing but another Hindutva prop. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has said that these statements are nothing but desperate attempts to cover up for what…

"They've been in there awhile," Watkins noted from the hallway, since he'd been around the football offices himself earlier that morning before he had gone off to a couple of classes.

After suffering a 91-66 beatdown to Pittsburgh on the weekend, the Pioneers likely can't wait to get back on the court to put their previous game behind them.

Stony Brook is 2-4 ATS, covering as a 16-point home underdog in a loss against Yale the last time out after failing to cover the previous three, all on the road. Bryant joined the American East this season and immediately jumped to…

It was the second time…

Graham Latham's long snap for the University of Richmond wasn't nearly long enough. It turned into a weak ground ball that stopped about halfway to punter D.J. Helkowski.

It's not pretty out there, and the economic headwinds are expected to get worse. But while the words…

Monmouth football coach Kevin Callahan talks about the program's move to the CAA during the Hawks' preseason media day. Monmouth faced and I-told-you-so moment against No. 9 Villanova Saturday.

Towson football return specialist D'Ago Hunter could have been a star - in basketball. Just a few years ago, he had scored 1000 points as a starting point guard for Eastern View High School in Culpeper, Virginia, but kept that achievement under wraps until Tigers coach Rob Ambrose recently blew his cover. "I like to stay humble, but I'm pretty…

Ben Dinkel was on a team that beat the Blue Hens. Now he has joined them, which he hardly envisioned after helping South Dakota State get a win over Delaware and reach the 2021 spring FCS title game. There, Dinkel and South Dakota State lost to Sam Houston, where the offense was operated by Ryan Carty. Now Carty is the football coach at Delaware…

They are the outsider compared to the more…

As the FCS looks (and hopes) for national contenders to emerge in the east and the south, Villanova is a prime candidate. It's been there before. A national championship in 2009 was followed by a run to the semis in 2010. But the Wildcats have been up-and-down since, making the first round in 2012 and 2019, reaching the second round in 2016, making…
