Major Chris Looney of the Franklin County Sheriff's Office told the Athens Banner-Herald that Ingram-Dawkins was clocked going 90 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone Monday. The redshirt sophomore was then brought in on a warrant for previously failing to appear in court over a citation of parking in a handicapped zone. He was booked in Clarke County Jail before being released on bond, according to the Banner-Herald. Ingram-Dawkins was a reserve defensive lineman in 2022, playing in 14 games and making 10 total stops.

Smart said they had brought in police to speak to the team and had started a system of "checks and balances" for self-reporting speeding tickets. So-called "super speeders" are disciplined, according to the coach, by losing achievement-based monetary awards.

As uncertainty continues to loom over the Pac-12, which will dwindle to nine members, sources have indicated that Arizona has sparked interest within the Big 12.

In June, following Big 12 spring meetings in West Virginia, a source told ESPN that UConn and Gonzaga were "certainly talked about" as potential members, but a 14-team league would be focused on a school that would also add value with its football program, as opposed to a basketball-only addition. That doesn't rule out UConn, which has made significant strides under coach Jim Mora, and would add to the league's strong basketball narrative Yormark has touted.

Fleck's comments come after a story published Wednesday by Front Office Sports accused the coach of creating an "environment fraught with intimidation and toxicity" that relied on a "Fleck Bank" system, where players were given "credits" that helped them avoid disciplinary issues.

Since the first major realignment dominoes fell with Texas and Oklahoma’s decision to leave the Big 12 for the SEC happened in summer 2021, the ACC has explored possible expansion options, according to multiple league administrators, running models on adding a number of potential targets, including West Virginia, SMU, Oregon and Washington.
