The NCAA Division I Cabinet put off a vote on the age-based eligibility model it is considering and instead made minor adjustments to the proposal. The Cabinet removed language about starting an athlete’s eligibility clock after their high school graduation. The proposal now says the clock will start upon initial full-time enrollment in college or at the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. The adjustment would apply to all sports and comes after recommendations from stakeholders in men’s ice hockey, men’s basketball and the service academies.

CHICAGO (AP) — Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen have agreed to contracts with Chicago, providing a major offensive lift for the rebuilding Blackhawks on the first day of NHL free agency. Bertuzzi received a $22 million, four-year deal, and Teravainen’s agreement is worth $16.2 million over three seasons. Two people confirmed the Bertuzzi move and one confirmed the Tervainen contract to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t announced the transactions. The Blackhawks also added goaltender Laurent Brossoit on a $6.6 million, two-year contract. Ray Petkau, Brossoit’s agent, confirmed the deal in a social media post.
