INDIANAPOLIS >> The NCAA is considering a proposal that would allow athletes and staff members to bet on professional sports and shift enforcement efforts to college sports betting and “behaviors that directly impact game integrity.”

The Division I Council introduced the proposal that will be considered this fall and be implemented if Divisions II and III officials also approve.

The NCAA would still bar betting on college sports and sharing information about college events with bettors. Advertising and sponsorships associated with betting are also not allowed at NCAA championship events.

The shift comes as the organization grapples with the growth of legalized gambling across the United States. NCAA President Charlie Baker and other college sports leaders have raised concerns about gamblers attacking athletes on social media for their play and there have been scattered allegations, including some earlier this year, against programs involving betting.

Ujiri fired as Raptors president >> Toronto Raptors president and vice chairman Masai Ujiri was fired after 13 years with the franchise.

Ujiri joined the Raptors in 2013 as executive vice president and general manager. He was promoted to president in 2016 and surrendered his responsibilities as GM in 2017, when Bobby Webster took over.

The 54-year-old Ujiri, who was heading into the final year of his contract, led the Raptors to their only NBA title in 2019.

Webster was given a contract extension, the Raptors said. Terms of that deal were not disclosed.

The team is set to start play next season, along with the expansion Toronto Tempo. Portland’s team does not yet have a name, a coach or a general manager.

Autographed Jordan rookie card sells for $2.5M >> A autographed Michael Jordan rookie card sold for $2.5 million in an auction that closed.

The 1986-87 Fleer card sold through Joopiter — the auction platform founded by Grammy-winning artist and producer Pharrell Williams three years ago — shows Jordan soaring toward the rim with his right arm extended and tongue dangling. It was one of nine trading cards signed in a blue sharpie at his private golf course in Florida last year.

According to ESPN, the $2.5 million is the most paid for a Jordan rookie card — signed or unsigned — and the third-highest price in a public sale for any Jordan card. That record is $2.928 million.

Tennis

Wimbledon’s draw puts Alcaraz against Fognini in the first round >> Carlos Alcaraz will begin his bid for a third consecutive Wimbledon championship and put his career-best 18-match winning streak on the line by facing the volatile Fabio Fognini in the first round at Centre Court when the tournament begins Monday.

The singles brackets for the grass-court Grand Slam tournament were set in the draw, including potential men’s quarterfinals of No. 1 Jannik Sinner against No. 7 Lorenzo Musetti, No. 4 Jack Draper against No. 6 Novak Djokovic — who has won seven of his 24 major trophies at the All England Club — No. 2 Alcaraz against No. 8 Holger Rune, and No. 3 Alexander Zverev against No. 5 Taylor Fritz.

The possible women’s quarterfinals are No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 6 Madison Keys, and No. 4 Jasmine Paolini vs. No. 5 Zheng Qinwen in the top half, and No. 2 Coco Gauff vs. No. 8 Iga Swiatek or 2022 champion Elena Rybakina, and No. 3 Jessica Pegula vs. No. 7 Mirra Andreeva in the bottom half.

Swiatek routs Paolini in Hamburg >> Five-time major champion Iga Swiatek reached her first final on grass and first final in more than a year at the Bad Homburg Open.

World No. 8 Swiatek beat No. 4 Jasmine Paolini 6-1, 6-3 in the semifinals and improved her record against the 2024 Wimbledon finalist to 5-0.

To win her first title since the 2024 French Open, Swiatek will have to go through No. 3 Jessica Pegula.

Pegula outlasted Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic 6-7 (2), 7-5, 6-1.

Hockey

NHL Free agency >> John Tavares is staying with the Toronto Maple Leafs for four more years at a significantly discounted price.

Tavares re-signed for $17.55 million, and he’ll count $4.39 million against the salary cap through the 2028-29 season on a very team-friendly contract. He was making $11 million annually on his previous deal and was a point-a-game player last season at age 34.

• Fellow center Brock Nelson, who is 11 months younger, got $7.5 million a year over the next three seasons to stay with Colorado after the Avalanche acquired him at the trade deadline from the New York Islanders.

• After re-signing Nelson earlier in the month, Colorado traded a pair of forwards, sending Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood to Columbus for the 77th pick in this year’s draft, a conditional second-rounder in 2027 and prospect Gavin Brindley. The Blue Jackets improved their depth up front after missing out on getting defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders.

• Like Coyle, Trent Frederic was traded by the Boston Bruins at the deadline, but he’s sticking around in his new spot. The big winger re-signed with the Edmonton Oilers for the longest possible term on an eight-year contract worth $30.8 million.

• On the horizon for Edmonton is an extension for three-time MVP Connor McDavid, which cannot be signed until July 1. Negotiations for that deal are expected to take some time this summer.

Golf

Knapp makes history at Rocket Classic >> Jake Knapp has pulled off a feat no one else has in PGA Tour history. Knapp shot an 11-under 61 to break a Rocket Classic record that stood for less than a day and became the first on the tour to break 60 and shoot a 61 or lower in the same season.

That still wasn’t enough to put him in the top six, entering the weekend at Detroit Golf Club.

Chris Kirk (65), Philip Knowles (64) and Andrew Putnam (66) share the second-round lead at 14 under. Jackson Suber (65) was another shot back.

Cink, Harrington tied at US Senior Open >> Padraig Harrington and Stewart Cink endured the ups and downs of the U.S. Senior Open together for a second straight day and found themselves tied for the lead.

The payoff — sharing the final tee time to kick off the weekend at the hilly, hard-to-read Broadmoor.

Cink made up five shots over the final nine holes of his head-to-head pairing against Harrington, and the players headed into the weekend tied at 6-under 134, along with late-charging Mark Hensby.

Baseball

Angels manager to miss rest of season >> Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington will miss the rest of the season because of an unspecified medical issue, the team said.

Washington, the oldest manager in the major leagues at 73, has been sidelined for the past week. He experienced shortness of breath and appeared fatigued toward the end of a four-game series at the New York Yankees that ended on June 19. He flew back to Southern California, underwent a series of tests and was placed on medical leave.

Bench coach Ray Montgomery, who had been filling in for Washington, was named interim manager, and infield coach Ryan Goins was promoted to bench coach.

Raleigh to participate in Home Run Derby >> Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors in homers with 32, said he will participate in next month’s Home Run Derby.

The derby will be held on July 14, the night before the All-Star Game, at Truist Park in Atlanta.

Canning placed on IL >> New York Mets pitcher Griffin Canning had surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles and will miss the remainder of the season and possibly part of the 2026 season.

Canning was injured during Thursday night’s 4-0 win over the Atlanta Braves in New York. Signed to a $4.25 million, one-year contract as a free agent in the offseason, the 29-year-old right-hander was 7-3 with a 3.77 ERA in 16 starts as he bolstered an injury-depleted rotation.

Pro football

Harbaugh added to lawsuit >> NFL coach Jim Harbaugh was added to a lawsuit against the University of Michigan and a former assistant football coach who is accused of hacking into the computer accounts of college athletes across the U.S. to look for intimate photos.

Attorneys claim Harbaugh, who was Michigan’s coach, and others knew that Matt Weiss was seen viewing private information on a computer in December 2022 but still allowed him to continue working as co-offensive coordinator in a national playoff game roughly a week later.
