NTSB Footage Shows Engine Detachment in UPS MD-11F Crash That Killed 15

New footage released by the NTSB shows the UPS MD-11F cargo plane erupting in flames after an engine detaches on takeoff in Louisville, killing 15 (3 crew and 12 on the ground). Investigators say cracks and metal fatigue caused a left-wing engine-mount failure; the crew had been reassigned to this MD-11F after their original aircraft was grounded for a fuel leak, and the flight carried up to 20,000 packages and about 38,000 gallons of fuel.

Dolphins Bet on Chris Bell's Upside to Anchor Future WR Core

Dolphins Bet on Chris Bell's Upside to Anchor Future WR Core

The Miami Dolphins closed Day 2 by selecting Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell with the 94th overall pick in the third round, a move built on upside despite Bell’s torn ACL last November. If he recovers fully, Bell could emerge as the top WR in a rebuilt Miami receiving corps after the departures of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, even if his rookie impact is modest in 2026. The earlier third-round choices—Caleb Douglas and Will Kacmarek—provide different value: Douglas has size and contested-catch ability but drops concerns, while Kacmarek projects mainly as a blocking tight end, making Bell the clear best value pick of the round.

Louisville Bets Big on Revenue Sports to Bridge Budget Gaps

Louisville Bets Big on Revenue Sports to Bridge Budget Gaps

Louisville’s athletic department is running a deficit despite ACC membership, reporting a 2024–25 loss of about $12.5 million on $154.9 million in revenue and $167.4 million in expenses, with reserves shrinking from $34 million to $3.4 million and lines of credit in use. In response, the university is pouring money into basketball and football—piling up transfer acquisitions that could push payroll to $15–20 million for basketball and roughly $22–25 million for football—while exploring private equity deals and backing a Save College Sports-style plan to stabilize revenue. The push comes as leaders warn systemic changes are needed, even as the program highlights the imperative of winning to sustain the university’s profile and city morale.

Five Transfer Portal Fits Poised to Shape 2026–27 College Basketball

Five Transfer Portal Fits Poised to Shape 2026–27 College Basketball

Five notable transfer portal fits headline this cycle: Jackson Shelstad to Louisville, Stefan Vaaks to Illinois, Somto Cyril to Miami, Collin Chandler to Kentucky, and Jaylen Carey to Missouri. Each player aligns with their new coach’s system—Shelstad as a pacey, shooting guard; Vaaks as a versatile, high-IQ guard in Illinois’ elite P&R scheme; Cyril as a rim-protecting interior anchor; Chandler as a shooting-forward who can run, shoot, and transition; and Carey as a powerfully despite-free throws but with rebounding and playmaking in Missouri. The piece notes only two of the five are top-10 portal talents, but all are expected to be key contributors in their new programs.

UPS jet narrowly avoids collision at Louisville airport as controller shouts 'What are you doing?'

A UPS Boeing 767 inbound to Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport aborted its landing after nearly colliding with a smaller SKQ-25 taxiing on the runway; air-traffic control audio captured a controller shouting, 'What are you doing?' The crew executed a go-around and the FAA said required separation was maintained. This incident occurred at the Louisville hub, at the same airport where a fatal cargo-plane crash five months earlier killed 14 people.

Louisville Aims for Historic Duo as Bidunga-Shelstad Visit Heats Up

Louisville is hosting top transfer targets Jackson Shelstad (No. 8 in the portal) and Flory Bidunga (No. 1) this weekend, with predictions leaning heavily in the Cardinals' favor for both. 247Sports and On3 have moved Louisville into strong or dominant positions for Shelstad and Bidunga, and On3 even flags a 100% chance for Bidunga. If Louisville lands the pair, Pat Kelsey’s Cards could become ACC title contenders and potentially NCAA contenders, though depth and shooting surrounding the big on-campus duo would still be a priority.
