He was supposed to win Ohio State a national title. Now, he’s trying to stop it from happening.

In a recruiting triumph, Ohio State welcomed Quinn Ewers, the top-ranked high school football prospect in the country, to campus in the summer of 2021. The young quarterback from the Dallas suburbs had reopened his recruitment less than a year prior, having retracted his pledge to play for the Texas Longhorns. He now appeared to be the next in line to assist the dominant Buckeyes in winning the national football championship for collegiate football. After more than three years, Ohio State advanced to Friday's semifinal in Arlington, Texas, thanks to two decisive wins to start the College Football Playoff. A national championship is only two victories away for Ewers. He now plays for Texas, though. Even as a football tale, the reunion with national title stakes would be noteworthy. He used ...

Re-joining the AFL-CIO, a coalition of 60 allied labor unions, was announced by the Service Employees International Union on Wednesday.
