The Baltimore Ravens announced the signing of five draft picks on Thursday, including cornerback Nate Wiggins, who became the first selection from the 2024 first round to reach a deal. Rookie contracts are tied to a player's slotted draft position. The 30th overall pick out of Clemson, Wiggins inked a four-year contract valued at $12.8 million (all guaranteed), including a $6.1 million signing bonus, for an average annual salary of $3.2 million, according to Spotrac.com. This coming season, Wiggins will earn a base salary of $795,000 plus the signing bonus. Baltimore also brought under contract offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten (second round out of Washington), cornerback T.J. Tampa (fourth round, Iowa State), center Nick Samac (seventh round, Michigan State) and safety Sanoussi Kane (seventh round, Purdue). Left unsigned from the Ravens' rookie draft class are third-round outside linebacker Adisa Isaac (Penn State), fourth-round WR Devontez Walker (North Carolina), fifth-round running back Rasheen Ali (Marshall) and sixth-round quarterback Devin Leary (Kentucky). --Field Level Media

BALTIMORE (AP) — Ryan Mountcastle and Jorge Mateo each homered and drove in two runs to lift the Baltimore Orioles to a series-deciding 7-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday.
Georgia is making Kirby Smart the highest-paid college football coach at a public school under a new contract announced Thursday. Smart, who led the Bulldogs to national championships in 2021 and 2022, agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2033 that will pay him a yearly salary of $13 million -- a $1.75 million annual raise -- and bonuses up to $1.55 million. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is due to make $11.5 million in 2024, according to reports. Smart, 48, is 94-16 in eight seasons at his alma mater, including 13-1 last season when a loss to Alabama for the Southeastern Conference championship kept the defending champion Bulldogs out of the College Football Playoff. Instead, Georgia played in the Orange Bowl, defeating Florida State to raise its mark to 9-2 in bowl games under Smart. He signed a 10-year contract in 2021 that totaled $112.5 million -- at the time the most lucrative deal. However, Swinney and Alabama's Nick Saban -- who retired after last season -- inked new contracts that surpassed the annual figure. Smart's new compensation was approved Thursday afternoon by an executive committee of the Georgia Athletic Association's board of directors. Athletic director Josh Brooks also received a pay increase to $1.275 million annually with a contract extension to 2030. Hired in January 2021, Brooks was making $1.025 million annually with yearly increases of $100,000. --Field Level Media

Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed a bill Thursday to repeal a ban on most abortions, relegating the 1864 law approved before Arizona became a state.
Police have arrested more than 2,000 people during pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses across the United States in recent weeks. That's according to a tally by The Associated Press. Demonstrations and arrests have occurred in almost every corner of the nation. But in the last 24 hours, they’ve drawn the most attention at the University of California, Los Angeles, where chaotic scenes played out early Thursday as officers in riot gear surged against a crowd of demonstrators. The California Highway Patrol has said at least 200 people were arrested in the crackdown at UCLA.
The number of people arrested in connection with protests on college campuses against the Israel-Hamas war has now topped 2,000. The Associated Press has tallied arrests at 35 schools since the protests began at Columbia University on April 17.
PHOENIX (AP) — Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has relegated a Civil War-era ban on most abortions to the past by signing a repeal bill Thursday.

Hamas says it's sending a delegation to Egypt as soon as possible to continue talks in the latest sign of progress in the fragile cease-fire process. The group’s supreme leader Ismail Haniyeh said Thursday he had spoken to Egypt’s intelligence chief and Hamas negotiators would travel to Cairo "to complete the ongoing discussions with the aim of working forward for an agreement.” But chances for the deal are entangled with the question of whether Israel can accept an end to the war without reaching its stated goal of destroying Hamas. The stakes in the cease-fire negotiations were made clear in a new U.N. report that said if the war in Gaza stops today it will still take until 2040 to rebuild.
DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — Herbert Rubinstein was 5 years old when he and his mother where taken from the Jewish ghetto of Chernivtsi and put on a cramped cattle wagon waiting to take them to their deaths. It was 1941, and Romanians collaborating with Germany's Nazis were rounding up tens o…
Millions of voters in England and Wales have cast their ballots in an array of local elections. The voting on Thursday was the last big test before a U.K. general election that all indicators show will see the Conservative Party ousted from power after 14 years. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will hope he can point to some successes including in a couple of key mayoral races. That would douse talk that the Conservative Party will change its leader once again before the United Kingdom's main election. The leader of the main opposition Labour Party will be hoping that the party is on course to sweep to power for the first time since 2010.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — When Ademola Adesina founded a startup to provide solar and battery-based power subscription packages to individuals and businesses in Nigeria in 2015, it was a lot harder to raise money than it is today.
