FRISCO, Texas (AP) — North Dakota State athletic director Matt Larsen believes Frisco is becoming for FCS football what Omaha is for NCAA Division I baseball or Oklahoma City for softball.“When you think about a championship location, every FCS program at the beginning of the year, their goal is to get to Frisco,” Larsen, vice chair of the FCS committee, said Friday. This is the 14th time that the Football Championship Subdivision title will be decided in the 20,500-seat professional soccer stadium in North Texas.

Montana last played for the FCS championship at the end of the 2009 season, the year before the game moved from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Frisco, and sw...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:09:12 GMT

Hace cinco años Alexis Llanos y su familia huyeron de Venezuela hacia Colombia, escapando de amenazas de muerte y persecusión política. Tampoco allí consiguieron estabilidad y resolvieron atravesar la peligrosa selva panameña del Darién para cruzar ilegalmente la frontera de Estados Unidos con México. Sus planes ya tenían fecha para agosto de 2023 cuando un amigo les contó de un nuevo programa del gobierno de Estados Unidos que les permitiría llegar de manera legal. Entonces decidieron esperar, y funcionó.
