• Feds Seize Trove of Smuggled Antiquities in Miramar Beach (midbaynews.com) — Miramar Beach resident Matthew Weinberg has forfeited foreign antiquities and $75,000 following a federal anti-smuggling investigation, prosecutors said. Authorities traced allegedly undervalued shipments to him and searched his home in March. The artifacts will be returned to their countries of origin, and Weinberg faces a two-year ban on buying or selling foreign antiquities. 
• Official: 24-Team Playoff Confirmed, Power Four Conference Title Games End (thegruelingtruth.com) — College football's playoff will expand to 24 teams in 2027, ending Power Four conference championship games for at least five years, according to the report. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey had defended keeping his league's title game during remarks in Miramar Beach in May, but the new agreement offers schools larger payouts.
