LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville defensive end AJ Green recovered a fourth-quarter fumble in the James Madison end zone and the Cardinals rallied to beat the Dukes 28-14. Green gave Louisville a 21-14 lead when Alonza Barnett III fumbled while being sacked. The Cardinals (2-0) trailed 14-6 early in the second half. On a night when both offenses struggled, it was the Cardinals defensive front that made the difference. Louisville’s Miller Moss threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Chris Bell in the third quarter and then ran for the two-point conversion to tie the game at 14 with 8:37 left. The Cardinals sacked Barnett in the end zone two minutes into the final period on a third-and-10 play at the Dukes’ 8-yard line. That was one of six sacks recorded by Louisville.
UNDATED (AP) — The College Sports Commission sent out a correction, saying it had overstated the amount of name, image, likeness deals it has cleared by more than $40 million in a data set it had previously made public. The commission blamed a clerical reporting error in data provided by Deloitte, which helped create the platform called NIL Go. The most jarring of the errors: The total value of deals cleared was $35.42 million instead of the $79.8 million previously announced. The $79.8 million is the total amount of all deals in the system, including those that are still pending.
UNDATED (AP) — The NCAA’s FBS Oversight Committee has recommended eliminating the spring transfer window and having just a 10-day window starting on January 2. The committee is also proposing that December be a recruiting dead period. The Division I Administrative Committee must approve these changes, with a vote expected before October 1. FBS coaches unanimously supported the January portal proposal earlier this year. If implemented, the changes would allow coaches to focus more on coaching during bowl season. The spring portal period had many players and coaches juggling transfers and spring practice.
