Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko expressed his disdain for a comment made by one of his players on Wednesday. 

Defensive lineman D.J. Hicks was asked what the defensive line room's motto says. 

Hicks said it was "C.B.O" and when asked what it stands for, "simple terms, ‘Choke woman out.’ Let’s just say it like that," Hicks said, via The Eagle.

"That mentality, it just stands for being aggressive. Every single time we step out on the field, we’re trying to put our hands through somebody’s face. We don’t want to be passive, ever. Every single time, we’re going to assert dominance when we come on the field." 

Hicks tried to clean up the "B" part of the motto, but it backfired. Elko quickly addressed Hicks’ comments.

"It’s conveying something that shouldn’t be conveyed, so we’ll get that handled and addressed," Elko said, via The Eagle on Wednesday. "That’s absolutely ridiculous that was stated."

Last season was Elko’s first as head coach with the Aggies, and he led the team to an 8-5 record. 

While last season was his first as head coach with Texas A&M, Elko was previously the team’s defensive coordinator before he left and took the head coaching job at Duke prior to the 2022-2023 season.

Elko returned to Texas A&M as head coach just two seasons after he departed for Duke after the Aggies fired Jimbo Fisher. 

Elko is going to lean on Hicks and the rest of his defensive line next season to step up as they are going to have larger roles with Nic Scourton, Shemar Stewart and Shemar Turner headed to the NFL.

A New York Islanders minor leaguer has been suspended 10 games for abuse of an official after he sent a referee flying into the boards during a game over the weekend. 

Bridgeport Islanders forward Adam Beckman, 23, will miss the remainder of the regular season with just five games remaining after he was suspended by the American Hockey League’s Player Safety Committee on Wednesday.

"Beckman was suspended under the provisions of AHL Rule 40.3 for physical abuse of an official (Category II)," the committee said in a press release. "Beckman will miss Bridgeport’s final five games of the 2024-25 regular season, as well as the next five games for which he is active on an AHL club roster." 

The play happened during the third period of a game against the Charlotte Checkers on Saturday.

Beckman was in Charlotte’s zone when he appeared to skate into the official. He then appeared to shove the official backward, which sent him straight to the ice and into the boards. The incident drew a harsh reaction from fans in attendance. 

Beckman stayed with the official as a team trainer came over to check on him. According to reports, the official was able to get back up and continue on. 

The suspension comes less than a month after Beckman was acquired by the Islanders in a trade with the New Jersey Devils. He registered 33 points with the Devils’ affiliate team, the Utica Comets, before being traded. 

Beckman made his NHL debut with the Minnesota Wild in October 2021.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark maintained that she has "privilege" and that she needs to recognize the Black WNBA players who helped shape the league into what it is today.

Clark made the initial comments in her interview in December with Time Magazine and refreshed those remarks in her interview with comedian David Letterman. The interview was filmed in December, around the same time the magazine named her Athlete of the Year, and was released earlier this week.

"I definitely have privilege," she said on Netflix’s "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction."." I’m obviously White but I think … I’m somebody that grew up a huge fan of this league. I grew up watching this league, going to games, supporting this league. So, I know where this league comes from. 

"A lot of Black women that grew up making this league what it is. That’s kind of the shoulders that we stand on. So, I think that was something I’m very aware of and something I’m very thankful for. And they definitely deserve all the credit and the more we can give credit to them, the better. I’m very aware of that and I know that and I think there is responsibility in acknowledging that."

Clark responded to Letterman’s question about whether she felt like she was being targeted because she’s White.

"I don’t think I was being targeted," Clark said.

The WNBA Rookie of the Year spoke of having "privilege" in her interview with Time months after several of her league colleagues expressed their belief that race played a factor into her popularity.

"I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a White person, there is privilege," Clark told Time. "A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them. 

"The more we can appreciate that, highlight that, talk about that and then continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made this league incredible, I think it’s very important. I have to continue to try to change that. The more we can elevate Black women, that’s going to be a beautiful thing."

Clark’s popularity has already become an issue entering the 2025 season as the Fever were put in 41 nationally televised games.

Four-time All-Star Napheesa Collier said last month it was "kind of crazy" the Fever had more TV time than the defending-champion New York Liberty.

"Obviously, people want to watch Caitlin play, and you have to put the people on TV that people want to see. But, at the same time, there are stars all over the league, and you want good basketball, as well," Collier said on ESPN. "Obviously, Indiana … will be a great team, but to not have the defending champs on TV more, I think it's kind of crazy."
