Michigan guard Roddy Gayle Jr. has been cleared to play a fifth college basketball season after a New York court amended his temporary injunction to prevent the NCAA from declaring him ineligible because he played in the 2026 NBA Summer League, received a stipend or had an agent agreement. Gayle had missed Michigan’s first two exhibition games because the original ruling did not address his Summer League participation. The ruling clears the way for him to play in the Wolverines’ exhibition against Houston, though the NCAA may still appeal. Gayle averaged 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds last season and helped Michigan win the national championship.

The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.

Reports allege a network centered on Shanghai Century Litong routed about 240,000 Nvidia H100, H200 and A100 chips—worth roughly $7.5 billion—to China, where computing capacity reportedly served Alibaba, Tencent and other AI firms; the claims have not been independently verified. Nvidia’s reported results and guidance do not include those alleged transfers, and its board has opened an internal review amid scrutiny of possible export-control violations.
