Football: Bingham will play in new Dallas Cowboys stadium, too
BYU won't be the only local football team playing in the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas, this September.

Two days after BYU takes on Oklahoma at the stadium, South Jordan's Bingham High will play one of the top high school football programs in the country, Trinity High of Euless, Texas, on the same field.

The Miners and Trojans will meet in the Herbstreit Challenge.

A Trinity defensive lineman, Siosaia Tuipulotu, has committed to Utah, but recently made a recruiting visit to BYU.

Next year, the Miners will again feature running back Harvey Langi, who already has offers from BYU and Utah but is only a sophomore.

College basketball coaches can no longer work at elite camps and clinics for seventh and eighth-graders -- which was being used by some as a recruiting advantage -- the NCAA ruled on Thursday.

The NCAA said that seventh-graders are now officially classified as prospects, changing the definition of a prospect from ninth grade to seventh grade -- for men's basketball only.

Before the change, the NCAA couldn't regulate those camps because those youngsters fell below the current cutoff.

While men's basketball is the only sport affected, officials envision future discussions on lowering the limit for other sports, notably football.
