🔺 For A Cause. The men’s basketball team will play an charity exhibition game at Dayton on Oct. 19. The game, in partnership with CareSource, will tip off at 2 p.m. All net proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Jay’s Light, the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation, and mental health initiatives for Dayton students.

🔺 Heisman Winner. We have 22 days until Penn State football is back on the field for its season opener at home against Nevada on August 30!
The No. 22 at Penn State belongs forever to John Cappelletti, with the university officially retiring the number during the 2013 season, 40 years after Cappelletti won the Heisman Trophy and led the Nittany Lions to a perfect 12-0 record. Cappelletti rushed for 1,522 yards and 17 touchdowns during his senior season in 1973.
