After facing the Clippers on Sunday night, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James made his way from California to Atlanta, Georgia, to watch the College Football Playoff national championship.

As an Ohio native, LeBron James is a well-known Ohio State supporter. He even tweeted about possibly playing college football at one point, which was something brought up to Buckeyes coach Ryan Day when he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day said LeBron James would have to earn his playing time with the Buckeyes in an interview with Jimmy Fallon.

There were quite a few celebrities on hand to watch the Buckeyes face the Fighting Irish with a national title on the line.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, and he gave the nation a glimpse of his humorous side. Fallon asked Day if he’d add LeBron James to OSU’s roster given the opportunity.

The confetti was still falling in Las Vegas when the Michigan fandom hit X (Twitter) like it was the Super Bowl halftime show. The post Ryan Day’s Osu Gets ‘Mickey Mouse’ Treatment as Championship Credentials Echo LeBron James’ Worst Nightmare appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The 2025 NBA trade deadline is on the horizon. The Philadelphia 76ers will presumably be buyers, though they are not among the most eager teams to make a big splash. The Sixers prefer not to tank the remainder of this season, but their losing record will surely influence their approach before the deadline on Thursday, February 6.

The College Football Playoff selects locations several years in advance, and on Friday, it announced that the 2027 national championship will be held in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium. The date of the game has been scheduled for Monday, Jan. 25, 2027.

The first 12-team Playoff had a lot of great moments. It could also use some tweaks. In the short term, leaders are unlikely to make major changes to the format for the 2025 season. The bigger stuff is more likely to come in 2026, when the new contracts kick in and the SEC and Big Ten basically get to do whatever they want.
