First and foremost, it is important to note that reputable zoos and wildlife sanctuaries do not engage in exploitative practices like hiring individuals to impersonate wild creatures for entertainment purposes. These institutions prioritize the well-being and conservation of animals, promoting education and awareness about wildlife conservation rather than promoting unrealistic and degrading performances.South Carolina added a veteran cornerback to the roster today with a commitment from Ball State transfer Myles Norwood (6-3 190). The St. Louis native made an official visit to USC late last week. He also took officials to Louisville and Kentucky. Norwood began his career at Iowa State where he played in one game and redshirted in 2022. He was on the team but did not see game action in 2023. He transferred to New Mexico State in February, but then transferred to Ball State to be closer to his home. Norwood joined Ball State for this season and played in all 12 games. On the season he had 38 tackles and broke up eight passes. He also had two tackles for loss. Norwood, for now, is the lone cornerback among the Gamecocks’ 2025 class of newcomers . He should have two seasons of eligibility with the Gamecocks.
NEW YORK, Dec 11 (Reuters) - U.S. bankers struck a cautious tone on cryptocurrencies at the Reuters NEXT conference in New York this week, despite expectations that friendlier rules under President-elect Donald Trump will pave the way for lenders to expand into digital assets. Trump courted crypto campaign dollars with promises to be a "crypto president " and end the Biden administration's crackdown on the sector, but banks are nevertheless unlikely to rush head-first into the volatile asset, bankers said. "The regulatory framework has to evolve ... and everyone's speculating as to how that regulatory framework will evolve, but it's still unclear," said Goldman Sachs (GS.N) , opens new tab Chief Executive David Solomon. If the rules change, the Wall Street giant would "evaluate" dealing in top cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum, he said. "But for the moment ... our ability to act in these markets is extremely limited," he added, noting cryptocurrencies were speculative assets. BNY (BK.N) , opens new tab recently began offering custody of cryptocurrencies held by exchange-traded products, and the bank is also investing in a range of digital asset services, its CEO, Robin Vince, said. But anything new needs to be done with appropriate guard rails and be "battle-tested" through a few macroeconomic cycles, he said. "We've seen a couple of cycles already in crypto. We'll have to see how some of these assets evolve," he added. Under President Joe Biden , bank regulators made it more difficult for big lenders to hold crypto tokens and issued accounting guidance which made it extremely costly for banks to offer crypto custody services. With Trump in the White House, that is expected to change and the crypto industry is pushing for an ambitious raft of policies that would promote the widespread adoption of digital assets, including rescinding the SEC accounting guidance and asking bank regulators to ease up on scrutiny of the crypto sector. In key steps toward that policy overhaul, Trump last week announced he would make former top PayPal (PYPL.O) , opens new tab executive and crypto evangelist David Sacks the White House "Crypto Czar " and would nominate pro-crypto Washington attorney Paul Atkins as SEC chair. The latter announcement pushed bitcoin past the $100,000 milestone for the first time. But Trump has not yet announced his banking regulators, while the Federal Reserve's top Wall Street cop, Michael Barr, who has struck a skeptical tone on crypto, has said he will serve out his term through 2026. That creates uncertainty over how fast bank regulators may ease up on crypto lending and dealing, especially after turmoil in the crypto sector contributed to the collapse of lenders Silvergate and Signature Bank last year. That turmoil included the implosion of top crypto exchange FTX , a crisis that policymakers are in danger of forgetting all too quickly, Kristin Johnson, a Democratic commissioner at markets watchdog the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, told the Reuters NEXT audience. "One of my biggest fears for any administration is that they forget the lessons that we were meant to have learned from many previous crises," Johnson said. Even with regulatory easing, any expansion into crypto will be driven by client demand, which remains limited, bankers said. Bank of America (BAC.N) , opens new tab offers some clients exposure to cryptocurrencies via exchange-traded funds, but there was "not an overwhelmingly large amount of interest," said Matt Gellene, the bank's head of Consumer Investments and Employee Banking & Investments. Affluent young professionals were more likely to shop around for investment options that might include digital assets, said US Bank (USB.N) , opens new tab Senior Vice President and Director of Inclusive Growth Strategy Akita Somani, but US Bank was likewise not seeing "significant demand."

Saquon Barkley sets Eagles season rushing record and has Dickerson's NFL mark in his sights
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Saquon Barkley knew the Eagles season rushing record could be his on Sunday with the type of stellar performance that has become the standard during his first season in Philadelphia. As for the exact moment Barkley hit the milestone, he wasn't sure — until the “MVP!” chants echoed throughout the Linc after a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter . “The records are great, they put a smile on your face,” Barkley said, “but the season is far from over.” Needing 109 yards to break LeSean McCoy's record, Barkley rushed for 124 yards and pushed his season total to 1,623 in a 22-16 victory over Carolina . Barkley needed just 13 games to pass McCoy, who rushed for 1,607 yards in 2013. He also overtook Wilbert Montgomery, who had 1,512 yards in 1978. “I never wrote the goal down to break it,” Barkley said. “You're always aware of it. That's how I train. That's how I operate in the offseason. I want to be great.” Barkley also maintained his pace to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams. “That would be extremely cool to do,” Barkley said. “If it happens, it happens, and not with the mindset of, I'm scared to go try to do it. Whatever it takes to win football games.” Barkley is averaging 124.8 yards per game. At that pace and with one more game to play than Dickerson, he would become the top single-season rusher in NFL history. He needs 483 yards yards over the final four games to top Dickerson’s 40-year-old record. He averaged 6.2 yards on 20 carries against the Panthers to help the Eagles win their ninth straight game. McCoy, who was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame this season, remains the franchise’s rushing leader with 6,792 yards. Referencing his old uniform number, McCoy congratulated Barkley on social media with “a lot of love, coming from 2-5." “Being a fan of Shady's growing up, and seeing the spectacular things he was able to do with the ball in his hand, to be able to have my name mentioned with him definitely means a lot,” Barkley said. Barkley left the New York Giants in the offseason and signed a three-year deal worth $26 million guaranteed to join the Eagles, who made him the highest-paid running back in franchise history. The 27-year-old has been worth every dollar. Barkley is among the favorites for league MVP, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the only player with better MVP odds entering Sunday. Barkley has a franchise-record nine 100-yard rushing games in a season. Although he was held out of the end zone Sunday, he began the day leading the league with four rushing touchdowns of 25-plus yards. Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, topped 1,000 yards three times in his six seasons with the Giants. He finished with 1,312 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022 and rushed for 1,307 yards and 11 scores as a rookie. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, who had been unwilling to spend on elite running backs, pounced on Barkley and the decision was celebrated as a success in Philly from the first game of the season. Barkley rushed for two scores and caught a TD pass in the opener against Green Bay. His three touchdowns were the most by an Eagles player in his debut since Terrell Owens in 2004. Barkley only soared in production and popularity from there, his highlight reel stamped by a reverse leap over the head of a Jacksonville defender last month. He's since vaulted over every running back ahead of him on the Eagles rushing list — and has a chance at NFL history. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFLAs the meeting progressed, it was clear that the effects of the awkward handshake lingered, casting a shadow over the proceedings and raising questions about the true nature of the relationship between Trump and Macron. Despite their efforts to project a united front, it was evident that beneath the diplomatic niceties, there lay a deep undercurrent of rivalry and tension.

By RONALD BLUM NEW YORK (AP) — Having waited 63 years for an Ivy League football title, Columbia had to stand by for another 40 minutes. The Lions had beaten Cornell 17-9 but needed a Harvard loss against Yale to secure a share of first place on the season’s final day. So Columbia players retreated to their locker room on a hill a few hundred feet from Wien Stadium to watch the game in Boston on TV as a few hundred fans remained and gazed at the gold-and-orange foliage of Inwood Hill Park glowing in Saturday’s afternoon sun. When Yale recovered onside kick with seconds left to ensure a 34-29 Harvard defeat, players let out a scream and streamed back onto the field to celebrate, smoke cigars, lift a trophy and sing “Roar, Lion, Roar” with family and friends. Who would have thunk it? “You had the realization of, oh, I’m a champion, which is something that hasn’t been said here in a while,” co-captain CJ Brown said. Harvard dropped into a tie with Columbia and Dartmouth at 5-2, the first time three teams shared the title since 1982 — the conference doesn’t use tiebreakers. “It was nerve-wracking, for sure, but definitely exciting because that’s something that not a lot of people have experienced, especially here,” running back Joey Giorgi said. There have been several top players at Columbia — Sid Luckman, Marty Domres, Marcellus Wiley among them — but the school is perhaps better known for owners such as the New England Patriots’ Robert Kraft and former Cleveland Browns head Al Lerner. Columbia’s only previous championship in 1961 also was shared with Harvard. That Lions team was coached by Buff Donelli, a former Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Rams coach who scored for the Americans in soccer’s 1934 World Cup. Columbia set a then Division I-AA record with 44 consecutive losses from 1983-88, a mark broken by Prairie View’s 80 in a row from 1989-98. Since 1971, the Lions’ only seasons with winning records until now were 1994, 1996, 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2022. Al Bagnoli, who won nine Ivy titles in 23 years at Penn, couldn’t manage one at Columbia from 2015-22. He quit six weeks before the 2023 opener, citing health, and was replaced on an interim basis by Mark Fabish, his offensive coordinator. Jon Poppe, now 39, was hired last December after working as a Bagnoli assistant at Columbia from 2015-17 between stints at Harvard from 2011-14 and 2017-22, plus one season as a head coach at Division III Union College. He led the Lions to a 7-3 record overall, their most wins in a coach’s first season since George F. Sanford’s team went 9-3 in 1899. Poppe had wife Anna and 7-year-old daughter with him in the locker room watching the countdown to the title. “Sixty-three years of whatever into now,” he said. “Just seeing a lot of that history myself, personally. This is a hugely — a feeling of elation, seeing my dad on the field, a lot of emotional things with that.” Before a crowd of 4,224, quarterback Caleb Sanchez’s 1-yard touchdown run put Columbia ahead in the second quarter. Giorgi’s 1-yard TD run opened a 14-3 lead in the third and Hugo Merry added a 25-yard field goal in the fourth, overcoming three field goals by Alan Zhao. Giorgi rushed for 165 yards and finished his career with 2,112, second in school history. He and Brown missed what would have been their freshman season in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Given Columbia’s athletic history — the most successful sport is fencing — it is not an obvious football destination. “I saw the dedication, whether it resulted in wins or losses,” Brown said. “I saw their dedication to the product that they put out on the field and also the athletic department, the facilities that we had here, the busses on schedule and stuff, I was like, OK, they care about their athletes. People here want to win and it doesn’t matter what’s happened in the past, it matters what we’re going to do now.” Poppe cited a mindset. “You get 10 opportunities, unlike other sports, it is a grind to play this sport and prepare the way we do just for 10,” he said. As the final whistle sounded in Boston, Brown noted an unusual initial reaction in the locker room. “It was like kind of awe when they recovered the kick,” he said. “It was a lot quieter than you would think it would be, but you could feel the joy and the elation.” They accomplished what more than six decades of their predecessors had failed to. As the players headed out, Poppe had a final word. “Day off tomorrow,” he said. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
