On Monday, North Carolina State University (NCSU) Police announced the arrest of Benjamin Grayton Bollinger, 40, of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, on several charges, local station CBS 17 reported. Rachel Nye, a Ph.D. student in chemical engineering, had her credit card stolen, but was able to use the company’s online services to track its use. Using that information, Nye went to the area where her card appeared to be and kept tabs on Bollinger from a safe distance....

Talented operatic soprano vocalist Kutyn was enrolled in UVic’s bachelor of music program, and living at home in British Columbia, Canada, when she felt coronavirus symptoms in mid-March. The student immediately quarantined herself in her bedroom to keep her fellow students and family safe. Kutyn’s symptoms proceeded to worsen over the next few days. “It felt like when you get your blood pressure taken and they put that band around your arm and it puffs up, that immense sense of pressure....

Colles Fracture Meaning The Colles fracture is a specific type of distal radius fracture. The reason it is called a Colles fracture is the surgeon who first described this injury pattern in the early 1800s. Dr. Abraham Colles was an Irish surgeon who described this injury and his name is still used today by many clinicians describing this injury pattern. When a patient sustains a Colles’ fracture, their wrist joint is pushed back behind the forearm bone (the radius)....

The U.S. is still recovering from the winter storm Elliott, which hit large parts of the country with freezing conditions and some blizzards, resulting in at least 62 deaths, from the end of last week. However, the inclement weather continued across Colorado, with Boulder County recording temperatures of 32 F at 8:45 p.m. local time on Wednesday, according to local newspaper The Daily Camera. On Thursday morning the Colorado Department of Transportation announced the Interstate 70 westbound was closed “between Exit 261 - US 6 / 6th Avenue and CO 470,” due to safety concerns, though it has since reopened....

No make-up date has been scheduled. "Even though the weather is improving, Boulder is still designated as a national emergency site," Colorado chancellor Philip P. DiStefano said. "Our community is hurting. Many of our students are displaced from their hoes, including many of our student-athletes. This is not an appropriate time for us to hold a game that would put pressure on the community, both in terms of security/emergency personnel, but also in diverting attention from people in need....

Why now? PHOTOS: Pagano’s storied career | MORE: Irsay explains “careful consideration” If the future of the franchise, Chuck Pagano, Ryan Grigson, Andrew Luck and the entire roster can be decided in one cram session/sales pitch/airing of grievances a day after the roller-coaster regular season ended, why did owner Jim Irsay drag it out — and drag everybody in the organization through it? There’s a question running beneath that, too: What did Grigson say to not only get himself off the hook, but get himself an extension?...

The 24-year-old Pro Bowler on Thursday posted a video to his Instagram account in which he explained the incident. “Me, three other black guys and a mixed woman. We’re sitting there, just casually eating, away from everybody,” Leonard explained in the video. “Toward the end of our meal, the manager (walked) up. We’re not knowing why the manager’s walking up, come up with a terrible attitude, asking us do we have a problem....

Well, everyone was disappointed when the normal Gatorade containers splashed over Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst after the Badgers beat Wake Forest. There is hope for a mayo bath for this year’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl between North Carolina and South Carolina, though. On Sunday, Duke’s Mayo Bowl executive director Danny Morrison spoke in a video apologizing for the disappointment last year, and he added how the winning team could endure a mayo bath this year: the winning team must dump the mayo on their coach, and then $10,000 will be donated to the charity of the team’s choice....

Anyone watching Alabama take on Georgia on Monday, January 10 will have had their game interrupted by the sight of Perry and Swedish DJ Alesso as the video of their new song “When I’m Gone” aired for the first time at halftime on ESPN. The inclusion of Perry brought back memories of the famous halftime performance from her at the 2015 Super Bowl XLIX when she rode in on a giant lion while an enthusiastic dancing shark broke the internet....

Joe Burrow and the Tigers capped off one of the greatest seasons in recent college football history with a ring, but despite their dominance throughout the year, the Bayou Bengals are not one of the three favorites to win the national championship next year per the college football futures odds. Instead, the Clemson Tigers are favored to avenge their defeat at the hands of LSU by winning their third national championship in five years....

Ole Miss may sit two spots behind the top-ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs in the latest AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches polls. But you could argue the Rebels’ wins over Alabama (23-17 as 5.5-point home underdogs two weeks ago) and at Texas A&M (35-20 at Texas A&M as 2.5-point dogs this past Saturday) were bigger than the Bulldogs’ victories against A&M and Auburn, both at home. Ole Miss opened as a 19....

Starting possibly in 2024 or 2025, but definitely by 2026, there will be a 12-team playoff in place. The four top teams may still end up in the semifinals, but the field will give more teams realistic chances to make the single-elimination field late in the regular season and set up more win-or-go-home games. MORE: Latest College Football Playoff rankings What a 12-team playoff bracket would look like A 12-team field would consist of the six highest rated conference champions and the six highest-rated at-large teams....

Four is more, but would eight be great? College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock squashed talks of expanding the College Football Playoff before the championship game in January. Hancock maintains that the four-team playoff format likely will stay in place through the length of the current 12-year contract. Hancock maintained the stance most advocates of the four-team playoff uphold. “The disappointment that team No. 5 feels would be the same disappointment that team No....

Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State and Oregon are established winners, and any of those teams could win the first College Football Championship. But who has the best quarterback? The best coach? The best track record? The best traditions? We’re glad you asked. Here’s a look at the best of the best of the four programs. Best quarterback 1A. Jameis Winston, Florida State 1B. Marcus Mariota, Oregon Blake Sims, Alabama Cardale Jones, Ohio State Verdict: How could you put Winston ahead of Mariota?...

But take a closer look, and you’ll see Alabama getting taken to the wire by No. 11 Florida, No. 3 Oklahoma struggling mightily against underdog Nebraska, No. 6 Clemson beating Georgia Tech by the paltry score of 14-8, No. 8 Cincinnati needing a comeback win to beat Indiana, No. 9 Ohio State putting a lackluster performance against winless Tulsa and No. 10 Penn State standing strong — despite officiating errors — in a 28-20 win over No....

The Volunteers had no answer for Spencer Rattler, whose six passing touchdowns nearly doubled his previous season total of eight heading into the game. He completed 30 of 37 passes for 438 yards in the game of his life, and Tennessee’s offense simply could not keep up. Speaking of which, the Volunteers lost more than the game Saturday. Quarterback Hendon Hooker, the driving force behind Josh Heupel’s high-octane offense, left the game late in the fourth quarter with a non-contact injury, apparently to his knee....
