by Spencer Toth / September 3, 2026

The NBA has reached a verdict on the Kawhi Leonard and Los Angeles Clippers scandal, and it is bad news for Los Angeles. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer was found to have violated the salary-cap circumvention rules and has been suspended from all basketball activities for one year. The team was also fined $30 million; Leonard himself was fined $700,000, while Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker were suspended for six months and one year, respectively.

CFB $$$: Villanova at Bucknell

Pick:	Villanova Wildcats -26.5
Start:	September 5, 2026 @ 6:00 PM
Expert:	Scott Rickenbach

Analysis:

College Football Free Pick from Rickenbach for Saturday September 5th: FCS: Take #307093 Villanova -26.5 at Bucknell (6 p.m., Saturday September 5th) - Yes, this is an FCS match-up but it is one I like plenty and that is why you are reading about it here. I follow Philly area sports very closely as my family roots are there and I have been entrenched in the Philly sports scene all my life. As for this play, Villanova came into the season ranked as high as Top Five in the preseason FCS rankings. They blew a late lead at home versus William & Mary in an inexcusable loss. They did enjoy the surprising return of QB Pat McQuaide which will likely key another big season for the Wildcats. However, he had an usually poor 4th quarter and all the eligibility questions were likely still a bother to him in terms of mental preparation for that game. It was only the day of the game that he found out he would be able to play in the game and he was announced as the starting QB about an hour before kickoff. I expect McQuaide and the Cats to be ready to respond big this week and they will take advantage of a Bucknell team that was down 28-0 at the half against Richmond last week! The fact that the Bucknell game ended 'only' 35-14 is helping to give us some line value here. The aggregate score of the last 4 meetings between these teams is Villanova 187, Bucknell 30. That works out to an average score of 47 to 7 and I expect another similar blowout here as Villanova is going to let out their frustration from last week's inexcusable loss.
