A law firm is suing former Colorado football player Shilo Sanders for over $164,000 in unpaid legal bills.
The unpaid fees are for services related to a personal injury lawsuit and his subsequent bankruptcy filing.
This new lawsuit is separate from his pending bankruptcy case, where he also faces a claim of violating bankruptcy law.

Former Colorado football standout Shilo Sanders is facing more legal trouble, this time from a law firm that says he owes the firm more than $164,000 in unpaid bills and interest.

The firm Barnes & Thornburg LLP filed a lawsuit Nov. 17 against Sanders, son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders. It seeks a judgment for what Shilo Sanders allegedly owes for services the firm provided to him related to his other legal issues — a personal injury lawsuit he faced in Dallas that eventually led him to file for bankruptcy in October 2023.

The firm “delivered the legal services and incurred the costs reflected in the Invoices between May 1, 2024 and August 26, 2024 based on the Agreement,” an employee for the firm said in a written declaration filed in federal court in Dallas. “Mr. Sanders, however, failed to pay the amounts reflected the Invoices presented to him, and has not tendered payment in response to Plaintiff’s efforts to obtain payment on the outstanding Invoices. The total of the Invoices that Mr. Sanders currently owes Plaintiff is $164,285.55, including $10,967.91 in interest for the services provided and costs incurred.”

How does this relate to Shilo Sanders’ bankruptcy case?

The new lawsuit is not part of Shilo Sanders’ pending bankruptcy case, but it was filed by a firm that provided legal services to him “in connection with his personal injury matter and his bankruptcy proceedings,’ according to the complaint obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

The complaint against Sanders says in August 2024 Sanders was informed the attorney responsible for his matters was moving to a new law firm and Sanders would remain responsible for any outstanding account balance with respect to those matters. Sanders then terminated Barnes & Thornburg’s representation and moved it to the new firm of that attorney, according to the complaint.

Dallas attorney Victor Vital represents Sanders and announced a move from Barnes & Thornburg to a new firm, Haynes Boone, in August 2024.

Vital didn’t return a message seeking comment.

How did Shilo Sanders end up in bankruptcy?

Shilo Sanders, 25, filed for bankruptcy in an effort to discharge more than $11 million debt — almost all of which is owed to one man, John Darjean, a former security guard at his school in Dallas. Darjean filed a personal injury lawsuit against Sanders in 2016, accusing Sanders of causing him permanent and severe injuries when he tried to confiscate his phone at school in 2015, when Shilo was 15.

Shilo Sanders claimed in pretrial proceedings that he acted in self-defense. But when the case went to trial in 2022, Shilo didn’t show up for it, leading to a default judgment against him of more than $11 million. When Darjean moved to collect on that judgment, Shilo filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in hopes of getting it discharged. But Darjean is fighting his attempt to discharge it. Last month, the trustee in the bankruptcy case also filed suit against Shilo, claiming Sanders violated bankruptcy law by making unauthorized transfers of approximately $250,000.

Sanders is the middle son of Deion Sanders and has pursued other interests since he was waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this year as an undrafted free agent. Last year, he helped lead Colorado to a 9-4 season. His younger brother Shedeur is set to make his first NFL start on Sunday as quarterback of the Cleveland Browns.

Kentucky and Michigan State are two of the most consistently successful programs in men’s college basketball, with a slew of conference titles and Final Four appearances to their name over the past 25 years (to say nothing of a pair of national championships, one for each program).

On Tuesday, as they do once every three years around this time in November, the Wildcats and Spartans squared off, with one of them looking much more the part of a top-20 team than their opponent.

Behind 20 points from Jaxon Kohler and 13 assists from Jeremiah Fears Jr., No. 18 Michigan State rolled past No. 13 Kentucky 83-66 at the Champions Classic in Madison Square Garden in New York on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

Coach Tom Izzo’s team shot 50% from the field and 3-point range. After entering the night with just 13 made baskets from beyond the arc across their first three games this season, the Spartans drained 11 3s in the victory. Kentucky, meanwhile, shot just 35.1% overall and 23.3% from 3 (on 30 attempts). Otega Oweh led the way with 12 points for the Wildcats, who were playing without injured starters Jayden Quaintance and Jaland Lowe.

Michigan State’s win was keyed by an 18-2 run in the first half that turned a 3-point deficit into a 13-point advantage. The Spartans led by as many as 24 in the second half and led Kentucky for 34:19 of a possible 40 minutes.

USA TODAY Sports provided the live score, updates and highlights from Michigan State’s win. Here are the highlights:

FINAL: Michigan State 83, Kentucky 66

The Spartans dominate for the game’s final 30 minutes, earning an 83-66 win against Kentucky in the Champions Classic. The big stars for coach Tom Izzo’s squad were Jaxon Kohler, who had a game-high 20 points, and Jeremiah Fears Jr., who had a game-high 13 assists and controlled the game from the tip to the final buzzer.

Michigan State pushes lead back to 20

Just when Kentucky started to make it a game, Michigan State reasserts itself, going on a 6-0 run to push its lead to 20, its largest advantage of the game, with 5:03 left. That should just about do it here.

Jaxon Kohler is up to 20 points for the Spartans.

Kentucky cuts Michigan State lead to 10

The Wildcats aren’t going quietly into the Midtown Manhattan night. On the heels of a 7-0 run, Kentucky has Michigan State’s lead down to 10 with 10:55 remaining after it had gotten as large as 19 in the second half.

Halftime: Michigan State 44, Kentucky 27

The Spartans dominate the first 20 minutes of play, going into halftime with a 17-point lead over Kentucky. Michigan State shoots 51.5% from the field and 53.8% from 3-point range. Kentucky, on the other hand, is shooting just 27.6% overall and 26.7% from 3 despite getting some good looks.

The Wildcats trailed Louisville by 20 in the second half last Tuesday before cutting the deficit down to four. We’ll see if they have a similar run in them tonight.

Michigan State stretches lead over Kentucky to double digits

Tom Izzo’s Spartans are still rolling offensively, shooting 55.2% from the field and 58.3% from 3-point range to take a 40-25 lead over Kentucky with 3:08 remaining in the first half. Jaxon Kohler leads the way with 12 points while making five of his six shots, including both of his 3s.

Michigan State continues 3-point tear vs Kentucky

After a hot start beyond the arc, Michigan State hasn’t really cooled down. The Spartans have made five of their nine 3-pointers thus far to take a 25-19 lead on Kentucky without about eight minutes left in the first half.

The Spartans had made just 13 total 3s in their first three games this season.

Collin Chandler gives Kentucky early lead vs Michigan State

Whew, what a start in the Big Apple. The Wildcats and Spartans are playing at a frenetic pace that likely favors Mark Pope’s squad given its strengths and tendencies. Kentucky has a 17-14 lead at the first media timeout of the firth half, with Collin Chandler leading the way with seven points and two rebounds.

Michigan State made four of its first five 3-pointers and has gotten eight points from Jaxon Kohler.

Even without two of their best players, the Wildcats should have enough firepower to outscore a Spartans offense that ranks outside the top 50 nationally in efficiency thus far.

Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo made an appearance at the White House on Tuesday, Nov. 18 with Donald Trump, coinciding with the U.S. president hosting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Washington D.C.

Ronaldo was among a number of notable guests at the black-tie dinner, a list that included Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

‘My son is a big fan of Ronaldo,’ Trump said. ‘And Barron got to meet him and I think he respects his father a little bit more now that I’ve introduced you. Thank you for being here, it’s an honor.’

The feeling is mutual. Ronaldo recently expressed his admiration for Trump, saying that the American president is ‘one of the guys who can help change the world.’

The 40-year-old Ronaldo is set to represent Portugal in next summer’s World Cup in North America and – along with Lionel Messi – will become the first player in history to participate in six men’s World Cups. Portugal officially qualified for the tournament on Nov. 17 and Ronaldo has said 2026 will ‘definitely’ be his last appearance.

Ronaldo currently plays club soccer for Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, and has become a prominent ambassador for the kingdom’s tourism authority since making a move from Manchester United in 2023.

Trump has taken a major interest in soccer since returning to the presidency, hosting multiple White House events with FIFA president Gianni Infantino and famously stayed on the stage for this summer’s Club World Cup Trophy presentation, much to the bewilderment of the players.

Tuesday’s public appearance marked Ronaldo’s first in the U.S. in nearly a decade.

What has Cristiano Ronaldo said about Donald Trump?

In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo praised Trump and said that he wanted to meet the American president.

“He is one of the guys who can help to change the world. One of the most important guys is the U.S. president. If we can help each other to make this happen,’ Ronaldo said.

‘He is one of the guys I wish to meet to sit and have a nice talk. If it is here, or in the U.S., wherever he wants, I know he was here in Saudi with our boss MBS. I wish one day to meet him because he is one of the guys who can make things happen and I like people like that.”

Lane Kiffin has good optinos in Florida and LSU, but if he stays at Ole Miss, he can always leave later.
Does Lane Kiffin face a deadline to make his decision? That depends on who you ask.
As CFP bubble crowds, how many teams can SEC qualify? Shoot for six, but face reality of five.

In one hand, Kiffin holds a College Football Playoff contender at Mississippi. With one more win, the Rebels are positioned to host a first-round home game.

In another hand, there’s Florida, and still another LSU.

Ole Miss, according to multiple reports, has given Kiffin a deadline of next week to make up his mind on which hand he’s playing. Kiffin said in an appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ that Ole Miss has not given him an ultimatum.

‘There has been no ultimatum,’ Kiffin said. ‘That’s absolutely not true.’

Even if the deadline is real, it’s unclear what moves Ole Miss could take if Kiffin doesn’t meet the timeline.

Drama, drama, drama.

On this edition of ‘SEC Football Unfiltered,’ a podcast from the USA TODAY Network, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams discuss the latest developments on the daily soap opera surrounding Kiffin.

They also weigh in on the SEC’s potential maximum number of playoff qualifiers, with seven teams from the conference still in contention.

What’s Lane Kiffin’s next move? Stay, or off to Florida or LSU?

Adams: Why mess with happiness? Why mess with success? If Kiffin wants to win a national championship, he can do that right where he’s at. Last year’s team was talented enough to be in the playoff and play into January, but it flopped in two games it had no business losing. This year’s team has one of the nation’s most exciting offenses.

Maybe, it’s still a little harder to build teams of this caliber at Ole Miss than it would be at places like LSU, but Kiffin has mastered a craft that works for the Rebels. The last time Kiffin left a job where he could have won a national title, he derailed his career. With his career back on track, maybe stay put this time.

Toppmeyer: We’re acting as if Kiffin has only three options: Ole Miss, Florida or LSU. Here’s a fourth: Stay at Ole Miss, coach the team in the playoff, and then if the program backslides next year, leave for whatever the best job is on the market, when accepting a new job doesn’t mean leaving a playoff team.

Because, more good jobs will open in 2026 and ’27.

TOPP THOUGHTS: Virginia Tech could win coaching carousel with James Franklin hire

This year, it’s Florida and LSU. Next year, who knows, maybe Texas and Alabama come open again. Maybe Michigan opens. I don’t know what’ll open next season. I only know that LSU and Florida won’t be the last two good jobs ever available, and Kiffin’s stock would remain hot after a playoff run this season.

Oh, and here’s a fifth option: Wait for the NFL to come calling. Kiffin holds three good hands, and if he retains his cards with Ole Miss, I’d bet more good cards would be on the way in 2026.

How many teams can SEC qualify for the CFP?

Commissioner Greg Sankey once mused about the SEC staging its own College Football Playoff. He didn’t follow through, but his conference has at least an outside shot of claiming half the spots in a 12-team playoff.

Not bad, eh? The bubble’s getting awfully crowded, so what’s the most realistic outcome for the SEC?

Realistic: Five playoff teams, with Texas A&M, Georgia, Ole Miss, Alabama and Oklahoma being the best bets. Vanderbilt and Texas remain in the mix but are longer shots to qualify.

Shoot for the moon: Six teams. If the aforementioned top five plus Vanderbilt all finish with 10-plus wins, could the committee squeeze them all in? Probably not, but maybe if some chaos ensues elsewhere.

Not happening: Seven teams. There won’t be enough room.

As the extended collective bargaining agreement (CBA) deadline rapidly approaches on Nov. 30, the WNBA has reportedly submitted a new proposal that includes higher player salaries.

The Associated Press and ESPN reported the WNBA has proposed a maximum salary of more than $1.1 million, available to more than one player per team, in addition to league minimum of more than $220,000 and an average salary of more than $460,000. Those salaries would increase over the length of the CBA at higher rate than previous years, the outlets added.

USA TODAY Sports reached out to the WNBA for comment. 

The current CBA was set to expire on Oct. 31 after the WNBPA exercised its right to opt out of the agreement in October 2024. However, the WNBA and players association agreed to a 30-day extension to extend the deadline to Nov. 30 to allow more time for a deal to be reached as revenue sharing and pay structure remain points of contention in negotiations.

The league and players association previously agreed to a 60-day extension in 2019, three days before the last CBA was set to expire on Oct. 31, 2019. A new deal was subsequently reached on the current CBA on Jan. 14, 2020 and singed into effect three days later on Jan. 17, 2020.

‘Last time, when I was only a couple days on the job, we got to an extension and got a deal done that was progressive at the time,’ said WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in October. ‘So again, I feel confident that we can get a deal done, but if not, I think we could do an extension.’

All but six spots for the 2026 World Cup have been secured following qualification play on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

After the three remaining World Cup berths out of Concacaf were clinched, 42 nations have punched tickets to next summer’s 48-team tournament.

Belgium and Scotland — which clinched its spot in dramatic fashion on Nov. 18 — were the final two World Cup qualifying group winners out of UEFA.

In Concacaf, Curaçao, Haiti and Panama secured World Cup berths on Nov. 18. This is the first time that Curaçao has qualified for a World Cup, while Haiti returns after last playing in the tournament in 1974. Concacaf will have at least six countries representing the confederation at the World Cup, as Canada, Mexico and the United States received automatic berths as host nations.

Here’s what to know about where qualifying stands for the 2026 World Cup:

Who has qualified for World Cup 2026?

The 2026 World Cup will include 48 teams, a huge jump up from the 32 that participated in Qatar 2022. Following November’s qualifiers, 42 nations have qualified.

Here is a complete list of every country to qualify for the 2026 World Cup:

Host nations: Canada, Mexico, United States
Asia: Australia, Iran, Japan, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Uzbekistan
Africa: Algeria, Cape Verde, Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia
Concacaf: Curaçao, Haiti, Panama
Europe: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, England, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland
Oceania: New Zealand
South America: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay

World Cup qualifiers: How many spots for each region?

Here is a complete breakdown of how FIFA divided all 48 berths for the 2026 World Cup:

Host nations (3): Canada, Mexico and the United States all qualified as soon as they were picked to host the tournament.
Asia (8): Eight Asian countries have qualified. The Asian Football Confederation will place one team in the intercontinental playoff in March, with Iraq defeating the United Arab Emirates in a two-legged tie in November to extend its World Cup hopes.
Africa (9): African qualifying sorted 54 countries into nine groups of six (though Eritrea withdrew from Group E before play began). The nine group winners have qualified, while the Democratic Republic of the Congo emerged from a four-team playoff and earned a spot in the intercontinental playoff in March.
Concacaf (3): The region’s third round — featuring three groups of four — began play on Thursday, Sept. 4. Group winners qualify directly, while the two best runners-up — Jamaica and Suriname — will enter the intercontinental playoff.
Europe (16): UEFA qualifying features 54 teams broken up into 12 groups. Group winners qualify for the World Cup, while the second-place finishers (along with the top four teams from the UEFA Nations League who didn’t win their qualifying groups) will enter a playoff for Europe’s final four berths that is set for March 2026.
Oceania (1): New Zealand has already claimed Oceania’s only guaranteed berth at the 2026 World Cup, while New Caledonia is headed to the intercontinental playoff.
South America (6): CONMEBOL’s marathon qualifying tournament has concluded, with six teams getting places at the World Cup. A seventh (Bolivia) claimed the region’s spot in the intercontinental playoff.
Intercontinental playoff (2): Bolivia, DR Congo, Iraq, Jamaica, New Caledonia and Suriname will compete in a six-team tournament scheduled for March 2026. The tournament will be held in Mexico.

Scotland qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1998 on Tuesday, Nov. 18. And it did so in the most stunning way possible.

Entering the final day of UEFA qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, Scotland needed only a victory over visiting Denmark. It attained the win in a frenzied finish at historic Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland.

With the game tied at 2-2 after 90 minutes, Scotland scored two stoppage time goals to earn a wild 4-2 win. And, with that, the Scots are one of 12 European-based nations to directly qualify for next summer’s World Cup.

Here’s how the madness went down in Scotland:

Denmark and Scotland went into stoppage time tied up at two goals apiece. Three minutes in, Kieran Tierney fired a shot from 25 yards out that got past Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to put Scotland ahead, 3-2.

Kenny McLean added the exclamation point, scoring from the halfway line, arching a shot over Schmeichel to send the crowd at Hampden Park into madness.

Former NBA player Patrick Beverley faces a third-degree felony assault charge after he was arrested on Nov. 14.

He was booked at the Fort Bend County, Texas jail and charged with assault, family violence/household member, and impeding a family member’s breathing or circulation, and posted a $40,000 bond.

The arrest circumstances are detailed in a probable cause affidavit obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

According to the affidavit, deputies were dispatched to the home of Beverley’s mother, Lisa, in Rosharon, Texas, a Houston suburb, in the early morning hours of Nov. 14. The mother had called Beverley to confront his teenage sister and her 18-year-old boyfriend, both of whom were in the residence. Upon arriving at the home, Beverley then confronted his sister, who is 15 years old.

The affidavit states that the sister had snuck out to meet her boyfriend, identified as being 18 years old.

‘[Beverley’s sister] stated Beverley grabbed her by her neck with both hands, and picked her up off the ground, by having her feet come up from the floor,’ the affidavit states. ‘[Beverley’s Sister] stated that Patrick Beverley squeezed her neck, causing her to feel pain. [She] felt as she was losing oxygen and not able to breathe.’

The sister also said Beverley laid her on a couch, stood over her, and punched her once in the left eye, adding that he ‘made a statement to her during the assault, to the extent that he will be the family relative to kill her,’ according to the affidavit.

Deputies observed visible neck marks and petechiae (burst blood vessels) in the whites of her eyes, consistent with strangulation.

‘I understand that the affidavit contains some negative details; however, remember that it is only one side of the story – given at a time when emotions were high. As I’ve said before, we don’t believe that the description in that affidavit is accurate, nor is it complete. Patrick is not a violent man and was not violent that night,’ Beverley’s attorney Letitia Quinones-Hollins said in a statement.

‘In fact, he was very respectful with the authorities that night and encouraged others to do the same. He is the provider and protector of his family, including his little sister and his mom. He has always looked out for their wellbeing and will continue to do so. I have every expectation that when all the facts are in, Patrick will be cleared of these charges. Until then, I can only ask that everyone keep an open mind and not rush to judgment. Please remember this is America and in our society, Patrick is innocent unless proven otherwise in a court of law.’

The 37-year-old Beverley played for 12 NBA seasons, including his first five with the Houston Rockets, beginning in the 2012-13 season. He also played with the Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, and Philadelphia 76ers before ending his career with the Milwaukee Bucks.

He was named to the NBA All-Defensive first team in 2016-17 and the second team in 2013-14 and 2019-20.

The home of Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders was burglarized while he was making his NFL debut.
An estimated $200,000 in property was stolen from Sanders’ home by three masked suspects.
Sanders is the latest in a string of professional athletes whose homes have been targeted by thieves.
Other athletes recently burglarized include Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Police say thieves stole roughly $200,000 in property from the home of Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders during a Nov. 16 break-in.

The burglary, which the Medina County (Ohio) Sheriff’s Office said happened at about 6:46 p.m. ET, involved three masked and gloved suspects entering Sanders’ home and taking items from the home until just before 7 p.m.

Investigators say the burglary happened while Sanders was making his NFL debut against the Baltimore Ravens. Sanders entered the game in the second half after Browns starting QB Dillon Gabriel was injured and placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Sanders completed 4 of 16 passes for 47 yards and an interception in the Browns’ 23-16 loss.

The burglary of his home is the latest in a string of similar incidents involving the homes of professional athletes. Here’s a look at recent similar break-ins.

NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s home broken into Oct. 30

The home of reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was broken into Oct. 30, the Oklahoma City Thunder guard told reporters Nov. 2.

Gilgeous-Alexander was not at home at the time of the break-in, with the Thunder playing the Washington Wizards.

‘Long story short, everybody’s safe, and that’s all that really matters in the whole thing,’ Gilgeous-Alexander said. ‘Everything else will come and go, but my loved ones are safe, so I’m OK. I’m happy.’

Lakers star Luka Dončić’s home burglarized in December 2024

Prior to his shocking midseason trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, NBA star Luka Dončić was the victim of a home burglary in late December 2024.

At the time, officials told USA TODAY Sports that officers responded to the home at about 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 27. Dončić did not play in a home victory against the Phoenix Suns that night.

NBA championship ring stolen from Bobby Portis’ home in late 2024

Nearly $1.5 million worth of Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis’ belongings were stolen from his Milwaukee-area home in November 2024, a theft tied to a South American theft group tied to other burglaries of professional athletes’ homes.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Portis’ NBA championship ring, won in 2021, was among the items taken from the home.

$300,000 in goods stolen from home of Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow

Three men accused of breaking in to the home of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and stealing $300,000 worth of luggage and accessories in 2024 are in talks with federal prosecutors about a plea deal, according to ABC News.

Burrow and the Bengals were playing on the road against the Dallas Cowboys at the time of the December 2024 burglary. According to the criminal complaint, the men took advantage of a shift change in security at Burrow’s home to enter through a bedroom window.

Authorities believe the suspects are members of a theft group that has targeted the homes of professional athletes across the U.S.

Homes of Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce targeted in October 2024

The homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were burglarized within 48 hours of each other in early October 2024. Police documents show that the crimes occurred around the time that the Chiefs were playing the New Orleans Saints on ‘Monday Night Football.’

Police reports showed that $20,000 was taken from Kelce’s home a short time after that Oct. 7 game kicked off.

According to Fox 4 News in Kansas City, seven Chilean nationals were charged by federal authorities in connection with the burglaries.
