Charley Hull Joins SI Swimsuit Roster; College Football Attendance Woes
LPGA star Charley Hull is added to Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit roster, while a Miami Dolphins rookie's missed sack and empty college football stadiums dominate the sports conversation.
LPGA golfer Charley Hull has been added to Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit roster, according to OutKick’s Nightcaps column. The same column also highlighted a Miami Dolphins rookie’s missed sack and growing attendance concerns in college football.
What happened
OutKick’s daily Nightcaps column reported that Sports Illustrated has added LPGA star Charley Hull to its Swimsuit roster. The column also featured a video of Hull on a boat in Ibiza, which it described as “dumping out some SI Swimsuit content.”
Separately, the column highlighted a play from Sunday’s Dolphins game in which rookie cornerback Chris Johnson missed a sack on Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. The columnist called it “the worst sack attempt you’ll ever see” and noted Johnson is a rookie who has otherwise had a strong season.
The column also raised concerns about college football attendance, citing empty stadiums at games involving Maryland, Texas Tech, Arizona, and Penn State. The writer argued that the regular season has been watered down by the playoff system and that fans feel less connected to players due to the transfer portal and name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation.
Why it matters
Hull’s addition to the SI Swimsuit roster continues a trend of athletes from non-traditional sports appearing in the publication. This suggests the brand is broadening its reach beyond models and mainstream sports stars.
The missed sack is a single play, but it quickly became a viral moment. For a rookie, such mistakes are common, but the reaction shows how fast a lowlight can spread.
The attendance issue is more significant. If college football’s regular season is losing its appeal, as the columnist argues, that could affect revenue and atmosphere. However, the column offers only anecdotal evidence, and TV ratings remain strong, according to the writer.
