The Evanston, Ill-based university argued college athletes, as students, don't fit in the same category as factory workers, truck drivers and other unionized workers. The school plans to appeal to labor authorities in Washington, D.C.

The Gunners have seen the future of their 30-goal top scorer called into question throughout the 2016-17 campaign, as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his current contract. With no extension to that deal in place, it has been suggested that a sale will be sanctioned while the club can still demand a sizeable fee. Sanchez: Future in agent’s hands Premier League rivals City have been linked with another raid on Arsenal – having taken several players from Emirates Stadium in recent years – but Merson has suggested that a top marksman could move in the opposite direction if a transfer is done....

Why did you resign from IMN? I resigned because I couldn’t carry on with my work anymore with not enough resources and a lack of basic [tools] to create proper television.

It took me many years to create credibility and [cultivate my] reputation among the [Iraqi] people, and I didn’t want to lose it for the sake of other people....
An informal survey of Navigant’s major corporate customers found that travel activity was still down more than 30 percent from normal levels two weeks after the attacks, and would remain below normal for the next several weeks. “I don’t believe that the airline industry will ever return to its prior condition,” predicts Julius Maldutis, a longtime airline industry analyst at CIBC World Markets. “These are permanent long-term changes.” And that’s devastating news for many of America’s carriers....

Nouri was treated on the field during the game — which was subsequently abandoned — at Lindenstadion in Hippach, Austria, before a trauma helicopter arrived and the 20-year-old was taken to hospital. Although Nouri recovered a stable heart rate and Ajax confirmed on Monday that his heart was functioning normally, doctors were unable to examine his brain until he was brought out of an induced coma.

Yes, Tottenham entered the second leg of the Champions League semifinal against Ajax down 0-1 on aggregate, and yes, the Spurs entered the match having lost nine of their last 14 games, winning only four and nearly losing their spot among Europe’s elite next season. But, then again, Liverpool needed a clean, 4-0 victory to reach the Champions League final, and it did just that; no reason Tottenham could not join the comeback party from a lesser deficit....

It came after Roker, 67, appeared live from Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans for a segment on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday as Hurricane Ida neared landfall. The weather forecaster was seen being pummeled by huge waves as he reported on what is basically “a 15 mile-wide, F3 tornado.” The clip prompted some on Twitter to express concern for his safety, and some tweets suggested that Roker is too old to be reporting live on television amid dangerous conditions....
Gore’s attempt to play ethnic politics has angered allies and bewildered some strategists. While it is true that Florida’s Cuban-Americans are no longer an automatic Republican vote (Clinton won 40 percent in 1996), many Democrats give the vice president little chance of winning over a group that has grown increasingly disenchanted with what it regards as the administration’s soft-line toward Havana in recent years. And although Cuban-Americans dominate Miami politics, the statewide picture is quite different....

Sure, it’s the fourth consecutive College Football Playoff meeting and third championship game in four years between the Crimson Tide and Tigers. If these two teams wore different jerseys, would it really be that different?...
