NEW YORK (AP) _The NFL has canceled next January’s Pro Bowl scheduled for Las Vegas. During an owners meeting held virtually on Wednesday, the league opted to call off the all-star game, hoping to replace it with a variety of virtual activities. The NFL needs flexibility in January in case it needs to move regular-season games to that month because of the coronavirus pandemic. If the game is held in 2022, it will be at the new Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

College Station City Council Reaction After Legislative Committee Hearings On Bills Ending The Limit Of How Many Unrelated People Can Live Together
Two state legislative committees hold hearings on a bill that would take away College Station’s ordinance limiting the number of unrelated occupants living together. Senate Bill 1567 and House Bill 2797, which applies only to university towns, would limit the number of occupants regardless of relationship based on the size of bedrooms and meeting health and safety standards. Another section of SB 1567 would prohibit university towns from requiring a property manager to hand over a lease to determine the number of unrelated occupants. The senate’s local government committee unanimously passed SB 1567, while the house land and resource management committee has not voted as of March 28 on HB 2797. Click HERE to read and download SB 1567 as passed by the senate local government committee on March 25, 2025. The legislative committee hearings were reviewed during Thursday’s College Station city council meeting. Councilman David White said he would “encourage people to watch it (the hearings) because there were some just false statements that were made regarding our city.” Councilwoman Melissa McIlhaney said “It is shocking to me that we can have a state senator take gross misinformation presented from multiple sources and without verification move straight to vilification.” The senate bill was written by Texas A&M graduate Paul Bettencourt of Houston. He brought up during the senate committee hearing, vehicles being tracked outside homes suspected of violating College Station’s unrelated occupant ordinance. While Bettencourt said the tracking was done by the city of College Station, that activity has been conducted by a group of residents known as the College Station Association of Neighborhoods (CSAN). The house bill was written by a former Texas A&M student government speaker. Cody Vasut of Angleton said during the house committee hearing that College Station’s ordinance “discriminate(s), most acutely against college students” and it “restricts private property rights.” Vasut says the ordinance “is indefensible” and is “un-American”.
