The Colorado Avalanche might not have a better defense corps in 2024-25, but it could be deeper. Erik Brannstrom, once one of the top prospects in the sport, is the latest depth addition. He and the Avs agreed to a one-year, $900,000 contract Tuesday morning. Brannstrom, who will be 25 in September, was one of the top defense prospects in the 2017 draft after Cale Makar and Miro Heiskanen and was pick No.

EA Sports may be buying the Colorado football program, but the media members who cover the conference sure aren’t. In a poll of 61 media members, the CU Buffs were picked to finish 11th out of 16 teams — yes, the Big 12 has 16 teams — in their return to the Big 12 under head coach Deion Sanders. Despite bringing back preseason All-Big 12 quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the preseason defensive player of the year in cornerback Travis Hunter, the Buffs didn’t garner a single first-place vote in the poll released Tuesday morning. Utah, another former Pac-12 school joining the Big 12 this season, was the media members’ top pick with 20 first-place votes.
