Ex-UDub Star Ben Burr-Kirven Wants Huskies Out Of Pac-12, Play In Big Ten, Big 12

Former Univ. of Washington football star Ben Burr-Kirven appears to believe the Pac-12 is toast … and he tells TMZ Sports he’s hoping his alma mater bolts to the Big Ten or Big 12 before it officially collapses.
The ex-Huskie linebacker, who won Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year back in 2018, broke down his thoughts on conference realignment with us out at LAX this week … and he made it clear, he wouldn’t mind seeing UDub leave its current home after USC and UCLA jumped to the Big Ten earlier this year.
“I don’t know what they’re going to do,” Burr-Kirven said of the Pac-12. “It’s going to be interesting. I’d imagine — if I was betting — more and more teams are probably going to leave because it will be hard to get into big bowl games without competitive games to be playing in.”
“So, we will see what happens.”
Burr-Kirven isn’t sure what Washington’s next move will be, but he tells us if he were running the show in Seattle, he’d jump to the Big Ten or Big 12.
Love the Ben Burr-Kirven pick by the Seahawks. Shop local!

As for his current football status, the 24-year-old — who was in L.A. to have his injured knee checked out by specialists — was just waived by the Seahawks with a failed physical designation. He was not picked up on waivers, however, and has now reverted to the team’s injured reserve list while he recovers.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Stars Arrive at Reunion Show Taping Amid Scandoval

UPDATE
12:45 PM PT — A source close to production tells us Raquel Leviss is expected to be on set to film her parts of the reunion later in the afternoon.
The drama is unfolding on the set of the “Vanderpump Rules” reunion show … the cast members arrived around 9:45 AM ahead of the highly-anticipated taping.
Tom Sandoval showed up to the San Fernando Valley set looking like he’s going to a funeral — dressed in all black — which may be fitting, because he’s likely to be buried for cheating on Ariana Madix with fellow cast member Raquel Leviss.
Ariana, fresh off her recent brand partnership with a sex toy company, is glowing … she’s rocking a yellow hoodie and matching sweats, and she just got her nails and hair done.
She definitely is sending Tom a signal … her head-to-toe ensemble by Boys Lie includes graphics that read, “WE’RE SORRY THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO REACH HAS MOVED ON.”
Lala Kent pulled up with a huge designer bag … and we’ve also seen arrivals from Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay and Tom Schwartz.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a “Vanderpump Rules” reunion taping without the big dogs … Lisa Vanderpump‘s in the house, and she was met with a huge embrace from reunion moderator Andy Cohen.
No sign of Raquel yet … remember, her restraining order against Scheana is complicating the reunion … but she is in L.A., because we got her yesterday at LAX and a nail salon, and she was pretty chatty.
As we first told you, Raquel and Scheana have to be kept apart when they’re both on set. When one of the women is filming with the rest of the cast, the other has to be sequestered in a hair and makeup trailer.
The seating chart is out too, and there are two versions. When Raquel is filming, she’s sitting between the Toms and is five seats away from Ariana. When Scheana is on the set and Raquel’s in her trailer, Scheana is seated at the end after Tom Schwartz.
It’s going to be a long day for the cast … we’re told filming is underway and expected to drag well into Thursday evening.

Lil Nas X Slammed For ‘Gays’ in Africa Tweet Following Anti-LGBTQ Ugandan Law

Lil Nas X‘s presence on social media has got him in some hot water once again … with people saying his tweet about ‘gays’ in Africa is incredibly insensitive on the heels of serious anti-gay legislation in Uganda.
The “Old Town Road” rapper was met with a ton of backlash Wednesday after he tweeted “where do the gays be in africa i wanna come there”. The tweet came on the heels Uganda parliament passing one of the most sweeping anti-gay legislations in the world.
The law punishes people with up to 10 years behind bars for simply identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer or anything other than male or female.
More shockingly, citizens can be sentenced to life behind bars for committing gay sex acts and be sentenced to death for “aggravated homosexuality” — a broad term to include sex acts committed by force as well as incest.
After LNX’s tweet, folks quickly hopped on social media to express their disdain, for what they see as an extremely dangerous message. One user wrote, “This is so insensitive especially after Uganda just announced the harsh punishment of even identifying as being LGBTQ” … and many others backed these same sentiments.
As you know, this isn’t the first time he’s been in the hot seat for his social media postings, recently issuing an apology for making a trans joke online.
He has not yet commented on the fallout.

Terence Crawford‘s Nebraska home was allegedly burglarized, TMZ Sports has learned … and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry stolen, including two luxury watches worth over 100 grand apiece.
The alleged theft occurred at the undefeated boxer’s home in Omaha between March 17 and March 20, according to a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office incident report.
Per the report, the unknown suspect(s) broke into his home and stole several pieces of jewelry. The haul included two gold chains featuring the logo “TBC” — Crawford’s initials — a “Bud” personalized gold chain, and a gold cross necklace.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Two incredibly expensive watches were also reported stolen — a diamond Patek Philippe watch and an Audemars Piguet and bracelet set.
All told, the pieces totaled over $317K … and Crawford is asking for the public’s help, even offering a hefty reward.
“I got 100k for whoever know who broke in my house and stole my jewelry,” the 35-year-old announced.
This isn’t the first time Crawford’s home has been robbed. According to DCSO, an unknown suspect took a gold Rolex, worth a little over $137K, from the same residence in Oct. 2021.
Crawford — 39-0 and one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world — has been ordered to defend his WBO welterweight title against Alexis Rocha … though boxing fans badly want him to fight fellow future Hall of Fame fighter Errol Spence in a super fight this year.
