\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State football coaches enjoyed some free advertising on the recruiting trail for this year’s class.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Standout quarterback Carson Wentz happened to be wowing observers at the Senior Bowl just as the Bison staff was giving their final pitches to new recruits. The Bison cashed in with more than two dozen signees.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wentz is projected by some experts to be selected as high as Number 2 in the NFL draft. The Bison won their fifth straight FCS title last month when Wentz, after missing 10 weeks with a broken wrist, came off the injury list for the January finale in Frisco, Texas.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bison head coach Chris Klieman (KLY’-min) says Wentz’s exposure was “like a walking billboard for North Dakota State.”

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – NASCAR has announced that it is shifting to an unlimited green-white-checkered finish format when late-race cautions come out. It’s establishing an “overtime line” to determine the winner.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The line will vary by track. If the race leader passes the line on the first lap under green before a caution comes out, it will be considered a valid green-white-checkered attempt. If a caution comes out before the leader passes the overtime line on the first lap under green, it will not be a valid attempt. The race continues until a valid attempt.

\u00a0MUNICH (AP) – Diplomats didn’t get their lasting cease fire but have agreed to work toward a temporary “cessation of hostilities” in Syria’s civil war within a week, along with moving more humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter says United Arab Emirates has agreed to send special forces soldiers to Syria to assist in training local fighters focused on recapturing Raqqa.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BRUSSELS (AP) – French Finance Minister Michel Sapin is taking an act now approach in urging the European Union to adopt ways to choke off some of the money supply going to extremist groups. Last week, the EU unveiled a plan aiming at tracking extremists as they move money or assets and limiting their ability to raise funds by targeting their sources of income. Sapin recalled that France has pushed for such measures since the Charlie Hebdo attacks last year.

The German Aerospace Center, or DLR, says it last made contact with the Philae (FY’-lee) lander July 9, but efforts since then have failed. Scientists say the comet is just too cold now.
