No. 16 Memphis beat UTSA 75-70 to clinch a share of the AAC regular-season title in women's basketball, one of several updates reaching Paris readers this week.

The ACC, Clemson and Florida State approved a settlement ending their legal fight and altering the revenue-distribution model. The change aligns with the House antitrust settlement that introduces a new revenue-sharing framework scheduled to begin July 1, 2026. More than 750 additional scholarships will be added once by-sport limits are removed.

Season calendar draws attention

The 2026 college football season opens with FCS games on Thursday, August 27 and FBS games on Saturday, August 29. Americans plan to bet $2.72 billion during the March Madness NCAA basketball tournament, twice the amount wagered on the Super Bowl. NCAA updates now cover football, basketball, track and field, baseball, volleyball and soccer.

Local venues keep residents active

La Montgolfière at 25 Rue Yves Toudic in the 10th arrondissement reopened on June 22 with collective classes capped to allow 8 square metres per person and reservations required 72 hours ahead. Sports associations in the 10th arrondissement can be reached through the town hall at 72 rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin. Sports 7 at 17 Rue Augereau in Paris 7 will close from July 27 to August 16, 2026. Paris residents eligible for the State €50 youth sports subsidy receive an immediate reduction at approved federation-affiliated clubs. The Canal Saint-Martin area supports personal activities such as jogging, walking, cycling and rollerblading.

Those seeking further details on local options can contact the town hall listed above or check federation-affiliated clubs directly before the summer schedule changes.
