A month from now, the three biggest jobs in the sport could be open. And that’s just the beginning of what could be a wild offseason of coaching change. USC needs a coach after firing Lane Kiffin in September. Mack Brown may have to win out and win the Big 12 to save his job at Texas, and Will Muschamp’s position at Florida gets shakier by the day/loss/injury. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini needs a win this weekend at home against Michigan State, or the Huskers might just be done with a coach who produces four losses — and no conference championships — season after season....

The Auburn School District, in Auburn, Washington, was approved for participation in the federal Community Eligibility Provision through 2026 on Monday. The program, started during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, provides all students with free breakfasts and lunches at school. “Being able to continue to provide healthy, nutritious meals for all students is a great support for families in Auburn,” associate superintendent Cindi Blansfield said in a statement about the news, according to KOMO News....

A small, rural Oregon town set up a district-sponsored vaccine clinic, which attracted fewer than 10 teachers. Lebanon Community School District Superintendent Bo Yates said the district is concerned about staffing if some decide to leave instead of getting the shots. Yates estimated that between 50 and 60 percent of the teachers and staff in his district are already vaccinated, but several dozen teachers and supporters protested against the mandate last week....

After four days of public hearings last month, the panel was split 11 to 11 on whether to advance Jackson’s historic nomination. All Republican members of the committee voted against Jackson. Schumer wasted no time in filing a motion to discharge her nomination from the committee to the full Senate on Monday afternoon. The additional procedural measure needs a simple majority in order to succeed. The chamber is expected to hold a final vote on Jackson later this week....

Italian Simone Bolelli swiftly ended Schwartzman’s hopes of success in Bastad, battling back from the brink of losing the opening set to secure a 7-6 (10-8) 6-3 victory. Schwartzman led 5-2 at one stage in the first, while he also failed to convert two set-point opportunities in the tie-break, as he slipped to defeat in his first outing at the tournament. Bolelli will next play Henri Laaksonen, who needed just 59 minutes to brush aside the challenge of Matteo Berrettini 6-2 6-2....

The white shark, which has been named “Nukumi” and dubbed “queen of the ocean,” measures 17 feet and 2 inches in length and weighs 3,541 pounds, making it the largest that marine research organization OCEARCH has ever caught in this part of the world. She is estimated to be around 50 years old and was tagged just off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada—an important hotspot for great white sharks in the Northwest Atlantic....

In April, scientists at Hypo Pet published a study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology suggesting that an early version of its injectable vaccine performed well in clinical trials.

It’s first drug, also called Hypo Pet, is unlike current treatments for feline allergies, which involve cat owners undergoing periodic injections designed to suppress the body’s natural immune responses to the cat allergens....

Back-to-back defeats to Slovakia and England in November 2016 left Scotland facing a mountain to climb in Group F, and with three games to play they are third, six points behind leaders England and four behind second-placed Slovakia. But after seeing his players emerge unbeaten from their last three qualifiers, including Friday’s 3-0 win in Lithuania, Strachan cut a confident figure going into Monday’s home game against Malta. “That was a bad spell we went through,” said Strachan....

Legislation which ensures local authorities have a legal duty to offer period products passed through the Scottish parliament unanimously on Tuesday—a move that is estimated to cost approximately £24 million ($32 million) a year. “Why is it in 2020 that toilet paper is seen as a necessity but period products aren’t? Being financially penalised for a natural bodily function is not equitable or just,” said lawmaker Alison Johnstone during the debate....

As can be seen in the aforementioned trailer, many features and mechanics have carried over from the original Pokemon Snap for New Pokemon Snap. The idea of islands only inhabited by Pokemon with no humans also seems to have been carried over. With ideas being carried over, it’s possible that scrapped content from the original title could appear in various ways or be referenced in New Pokemon Snap.

Philosophy and ethics professor J. Angelo Corlett, of San Diego State University (SDSU), was removed from two courses—Philosophy, Racism and Justice, and Critical Thinking and Composition—on March 1, after complaints he used the n-word in a lecture. Corlett said he used the slur to distinguish between racist language, and racial language; the latter he defined as “the mere ‘mentioning’ of a racial slur, without racist intent.” In an op-ed published on Sunday in the San Diego Union-Tribune, Corlett said the SDSU dean had received “numerous student complaints” and claimed she told him he was “no longer effective in the course....

Yahoo! named the 10 coldest games in NFL history. The first is probably still the most famous of them all, the 1967 NFL Championship game between the Cowboys and Packers. The most recent is Giants-Packers in the 2007 NFC Championship game that sent the Giants to the Super Bowl. Here are some interesting stats from those 10 games. —They averaged 34.2 points a game. —Each team averaged 176.1 yards passing per game....

Who could blame him? “F— y’all,” Linder screamed in the direction of Seattle players as he entered the Jacksonville locker room. “Y’all are b—es!” Linder’s profane outburst stemmed from an altercation spurred by Seattle’s decision to attack Jacksonville’s victory formation. With the game in hand and 54 seconds remaining, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was in the process of taking a knee when two Seahawks defensive linemen tried crashing into him as a third (Michael Bennett) dove at Linder’s knees....

The Cardinals (5-2) never led until Zane Gonzalez hit a 48-yard field goal with 15 seconds remaining in OT to give them the victory. The fact Seattle (5-1) never trailed before then was due to another impressive performance by Wilson, who at times looked dominant. Wilson completed 33 of 50 passes (66 percent) for 388 yards and three touchdowns, all to Tyler Lockett, who hauled in 15 catches for 200 yards....

Wilson, who looked like the league MVP front-runner in the first four weeks, struggled mightily in the first half as Minnesota controlled the time of possession; it nearly doubling Seattle for the game, too (39:28 vs. 20:32). The Vikings’ slow, steady approach seemed to do a great job of stifling Wilson and the Seahawks’ offense. At least until midway through the third quarter, when Seattle put up 21 points in less than two minutes....

The copy in question is a 9.6 Wata “1-code” hang tab variant of the original Super Mario Bros. game. Before the general release, cardboard hang tabs were used in place of plastic sealing. As such, any copy of Super Mario Bros. featuring a hang tab is one that was released to the test market in the U.S. Among these older copies, there are four further subvariants that help collectors differentiate between test market versions....
