Oluchi Okananwa: Maryland Star Fights for Athletes Rights, Opposes Protect College Sports Act
Maryland guard Oluchi Okananwa, a top WNBA draft prospect and former Duke player, is leading a push for athlete rights as interim president of the United College Athletics Association.

The Stadiums that Built Chicago Sports: How Wrigley Field, Comiskey Park, Soldier Field and Chicago Stadium Shaped a City’s Identity
The Bank’s October 23, 2026 piece explores how Chicago’s four iconic venues—Wrigley Field, the original Comiskey Park, Soldier Field and the historic Chicago Stadium—have shaped the city’s sports identity. It details Wrigley’s evolution from a Federal League park to the Cubs’ 1916 home, its role in the Bears’ 1921‑70 tenure, and its integral link to the 2016 World Series ending a 108‑year drought.
