Rep. Bennie Thompson endorses John Horhn for Jackson mayor
SUMMARY: Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson has endorsed state Sen. John Horhn for Jackson’s mayoral race, opposing incumbent Chokwe Antar Lumumba. Thompson believes Horhn is better equipped to tackle the city’s persistent challenges, such as crime, infrastructure, and economic development. He emphasized Horhn’s commitment to oppose state interference in Jackson’s affairs, particularly concerning the airport. Despite previously supporting Lumumba, Thompson criticized his administration’s failure to secure federal resources for the city. Horhn, who received 48.4% of the vote in the Democratic primary, aims for leadership change amid Lumumba’s ongoing federal bribery trial. The primary runoff is set for April 22.

NCAA eliminates spring transfer period for football
SUMMARY: The NCAA has approved eliminating the spring transfer period for FBS and FCS college football players, following a recommendation to modify the recruiting calendar. The new system introduces a single 10-day transfer portal window from January 2-11 for undergraduate and postgraduate players, replacing the current 20-day December window and 10-day April window. Coaches can still enter the portal within 30 days if their coach leaves or is fired. Players in postseason games after January 7 have a five-day transfer window post-final game. The rule aims to reduce leverage use for NIL deals and takes effect in the upcoming cycle, despite some coaching concerns.
