Featuring top executives who have mastered the art of collecting investment-grade memorabilia—sports, artifacts, pop culture treasures, rare coins, and more—The Execs Collect Show offers viewers an unprecedented look at this growing trend and business of collecting. The upfronts are off to an interesting start for the media industry, with political media attacks, tariffs and stock market uncertainty leading the way to nervousness and flexibility for all parties. “Rolling out new shows with this as the background has led to major New York media companies responding with spin-offs and more comedy, sports, superhero, animation shows that will positively influence the hot sports and pop culture collectibles market” says Jacob R. Miles III of Miles Analysts Partners and the co-host of the Execs Collect Show.

Monday marks the beginning of upfront week, the annual ritual of programmers pitching advertising buyers. The theme for this year is flexibility given the level of uncertainty in the marketplace.

NBCUniversal, Fox, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount are still leading the way, though they continue to face stiff competition in the form of Amazon, Netflix and YouTube. The three tech giants will all take part in the main upfronts week in person for the second straight year.

GREENWOOD, Ind. (June 17, 2025) – The University of North Alabama beach volleyball team collected four more postseason honors on Tuesday, with Katy Floyd, Ryenne Gepford, Selma Robinson and Lucy Wedding all selected to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team.

This marks another solid postseason haul for the Lions, as the top-flight duo of Floyd and Robinson add to their Atlantic Sun Conference Pair of the Year honor and First Team All-ASUN selections with their first-career CSC Academic awards. Gepford earns the academic distinction for the second-straight year, while Wedding receives her first career postseason award.

To be eligible for the team, the student-athletes must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically while having at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale. Players also must be in the lineup for 70 percent of all matches played during the season.

Floyd, Robinson, Gepford and Wedding were key pieces from this past season, helping the Lions finish with 18 wins and a berth in the ASUN Conference Tournament. The four also helped UNA secure two wins in the postseason championship.

The No. 1 pair all season, Floyd and Robinson combined for a 22-10 overall record with a 9-1 mark in conference play. The two earned the program’s first ASUN Pair of the Year, along with both players setting career milestones on the season. Robinson surpassed the 50 career win mark, while Floyd become the program’s all-time career wins leader. Floyd’s final win tally rests at 88 while Robinson is fourth all-time with 69 victories.



Gepford’s senior season concluded with a 17-14 record with a 6-4 mark in the ASUN. Playing all her matches from the second flight, her season highlight came on opening day with a flight-two win over No. 6 Florida State. Gepford additionally was named to the 2025 ASUN All-Tournament Team.

For Wedding, her first career beach volleyball honor comes after a 12-12 season with a 5-2 record in conference play. She and partner Mabrey Whitehead helped claim a fifth-flight win against No. 16 Georgia State on the season, also securing a win over Jacksonville in the ASUN Tournament opening round.

Floyd and Robinson will also be up for vote in the CSC Academic All-America voting pool, which is selected by sports information directors across the nation. The two look to become the second and third player in program history to achieve the feat, looking to follow behind the program’s first winner in Spring 2023 — former standout Paula Klemperer.

The All-America team will be announced Wednesday, July 8.

AUSTIN, Texas – College Sports Communicators announced on Tuesday that TCU beach volleyball players Daniela Alvarez and Ana Vergara have been tabbed to the CSC Academic All-District At-Large Team.
 
The CSC Academic All-District Team honors student-athletes for their performances both competitively and in the classroom. The At-Large program allows institutions to nominate six nominees per gender per school in sports that do not already have CSC Academic Teams. 
 
This marks the third consecutive year Vergara has earned CSC All-District accolades, while Alvarez is being tabbed to the list for the first time.
 
Alvarez has earned a flurry of awards after an uber-successful season. Most notably, she was named AVCA Collegiate Beach Player of the Year and earned All-America and All-Big 12 accolades following her 28-6 season. The 2024 Paris Olympian appeared in the No. 1 spot for the Horned Frogs in every match in 2025 and only suffered two losses in her final 20 matches of the season.
 
The 2025 season was Vergara’s most successful of her career. She competed mainly alongside Anhelina Khmil, with the duo posting a 21-1 record en route to being named the Big 12 Pair of the Year. Vergara also earned All-Big 12 Team honors, and posted an overall record of 27-3 during the year.
 
The pair’s accomplishments didn’t end in the sand, as Vergara posted a GPA of 3.88 and Alvarez boasted a 3.84.

Alvarez was also selected as a finalist for CSC Academic All-America® and will advance to a national ballot to be voted on by CSC members.

With one lap remaining in a tactical 5,000-meter race last Friday, Oklahoma State sophomore Brian Musau unlocked one more gear to fend off Villanova’s Marco Langon and secure the NCAA title.

It completed Masau’s indoor-outdoor sweep in the event and marked his second straight All-America finish in the 5K, adding to his growing legacy at OSU.

The performance was one of the many highlights for OSU at the NCAA Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

In the field, senior Blair Anderson recorded a leap of 8.02 meters (+2.4 wind) on his first attempt, enough to maintain second place and be named a first team All-American for the long jump. Anderson’s new personal best made him the third Cowboy to earn first team All-America honors in the event outdoors, and he came one centimeter shy of the school record of 8.03 meters set by Jacob Fincham-Dukes in 2017.

On the women’s side, Emma Robbins closed out her stellar collegiate career with a fourth-place finish in the hammer throw, earning her first team All-America honors for the second time. Robbins’ exceptional consistency at OSU leaves a lasting impact on the program as she claimed school records in the hammer and weight throw. She will leave Stillwater as one of the most accomplished throwers in program history.

Fellow Cowboy Fouad Messaoudi posted a personal-best time of 13:25.48 in the 5K to join Musau on the podium and claim first team All-America honors. In the 10,000 meters, sophomore Denis Kipngetich placed ninth, good for second team All-America honors. The performance added to OSU’s consistent success in the event as at least one Cowboy has placed in the top ten six straight years at nationals.

For the Cowgirls, freshman Isca Chelangat captured second team All-America honors in the 5K, while Annie Molenhouse did the same in the heptathlon. Molenhouse’s string of events included a personal record of 13.94 in the 100-meter hurdles, contributing to her total of 5,669 points.

Despite a resilient race from junior Kaylie Politza that featured a tumble to the track, she fell short of qualifying for the 800-meter final. Lastly for the Cowgirls, Josphine Mwaura made her NCAA championship debut in the 10K last Thursday.

In the men’s 1500-meter qualifier, senior Alex Stitt got caught in a tough race that was decided in the last 100 meters, resulting in a 20th-place finish.

The Cowboys totaled 19 points across the four days, good enough to rank eleventh out of 72 teams. The result is their highest since 1984 as the focus now shifts to the offseason.
