Former Vice President Dick Cheney is a career Republican still vilified by Democrats over the Iraq War.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas Texas A&M's football program was placed on probation and coach Jimbo Fisher given a six-month show cause order by the NCAA on Thursday after the Aggies were found to have violated recruiting and other rules beginning in January 2018. Fisher, who had just been hired by Texas A&M, and an assistant coach had impermissible contact with a recruit, the NCAA said without identifying the coaches by name. The negotiated resolution with the NCAA came after it found Fisher failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance." The program itself was fined $5,000 and given several other recruiting restrictions after the NCAA found that several players exceeded activity limits on multiple occasions during the 2018 offseason. They said circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could impact how the remaining recruiting restrictions are implemented.
