The NCAA's House settlement era has launched, with athletic programs across the country free to start paying millions to their athletes in the biggest change in the history of college athletics.

It’s a new era for college athletics as now schools can pay the athletes more than just their scholarship with the new settlement deal. The cap for the 2025-2026 school year is 20.5 million, but that’s not the only that thing changing at ISU.

As of July 1st, division one schools can directly share revenue with their student-athletes. It’s the result of a $2.8 billion dollar agreement in the House v NCAA antirust lawsuit.

Italy limited work outdoors, France shut schools and Turkey battled wildfires on Tuesday in a European heatwave that meteorologists said was "exceptional" for striking so early this year.

More than a thousand schools were closed in France on Tuesday and the top floor of the Eiffel Tower was shut to tourists as a severe heatwave continued to grip Europe, triggering health alerts across the region.

While conditions are beginning to improve in some regions, France remains particularly affected, bracing for extreme heat. The French capital, Paris, is forecast to reach a blistering 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) on Tuesday.
