Things continue to roll along on this Tuesday with the biggest news coming out of the Big 12 conference yesterday, which announced that its member schools will play a 10-game schedule — nine intra-conference games and one non-conference matchup — for the 2020 season.
Meanwhile, the professional leagues continue to press on with their seasons, with the NBA’s bubble still holding strong and the NHL’s revamped schedule working well so far, while MLB still struggles to find its footing in this COVID-19 world we now live in.
Here are a couple of stories from around the Gator Nation.
Around the Swamp
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson part of new ownership group for the XFL: On Monday, a new ownership group led by actor and former professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, along with the ownership group Redbird Capital Partners, purchased the parent company for $15 million, the group announced on Monday.
- Four-star DB Kamar Wilcoxson reclassifies, joins 2020 class: The Florida Gators’ 2020 class already ranked No. 9 nationally, per the 247Sports Composite, but this collection of prospects became even stronger on Monday with four-star cornerback Kamar Wilcoxson’s decision to forgo his senior year of high school football and join the cycle.
It’s great to be a Florida Gator!
