The freshman made a big splash last week in his first start for USC as he helped lead the No. 24 Trojans past Stanford and back into the rankings heading into their first road game of the season, at BYU on Saturday. "My guys came out there and did a great job for me, and when the guys do a great job up front, it's not really that difficult," Slovis said. "You're practically playing 7-on-7 out there.

SACRAMENTO — Athletes at California colleges could hire agents and sign endorsement deals under a bill the state Legislature sent to the governor Wednesday, setting up a potential confrontation with the NCAA that could jeopardize the athletic futures of powerhouse programs like USC, UCLA and Stanford.

LOS ANGELES — Dennis Rodman keeps finding new ways to surprise. The 58-year-old former NBA star built his own personal brand of flamboyant individualism well before social media made every pro athlete accessible to fans, and outside the traditional endorsements-and-corporate partnership framework. At the peak of his fame in the 1990s, Rodman pulled the spotlight toward himself by swapping out hair colors, adding tattoos and piercings, dressing in drag, and dating Madonna. "I branded Dennis Rodman being different," he says. "... Full story
