• Complementary football leads UConn to blowout win over Southern Miss (wfsb.com) — UConn's football team is heading to Oxford next Saturday to take on Miami University, bringing a 2-1 record after a big win over Southern Miss. Quarterback Kalieb Osborne is coming off a four-touchdown performance, so expect an energized matchup at Yager Stadium. Local fans can catch the 3:30 p.m. kickoff and enjoy a lively game-day atmosphere.
   

• Miami cites state law in prohibition of union faculty teaching outside for planned Labor Day-related event (oxfreepress.com) — Miami University barred union faculty from holding a Labor Day-related "Teach-OUT" outside their classrooms in Oxford, citing state law and the union contract, prompting the Faculty Alliance of Miami to explore legal options. Faculty leaders argue the event was a modest celebration of labor and accuse the university of overreach and union-busting as contract talks stall. The dispute could shape working conditions, pay, and classroom flexibility for Miami instructors and students over the next several years.
