BOSTON -- The Latest on the merger of daily fantasy sports companies DraftKings and FanDuel (all times local):2:05 p.m.A top daily fantasy sports player says hes watching closely how the merger of the nascent industrys leading companies -- DraftKings and FanDuel -- might impact his livelihood.Saahil Sud, a 27-year-old Boston resident, says hes concerned the newly formed company would have the clout to substantially raise fees on players.If the companies also merge their game platforms that could also limit how many contests high volume players like Sud can enter.The companies have assured players they wont be making major changes at least through the next NFL season while the deal is being finalized. Theyve also promised to keep fees competitive.Meanwhile Dustin Hecker, a Boston lawyer whos been following the industry, suggests the merger isnt any guarantee the companies remain viable in the long run.He notes that both companies remain unprofitable, still face legal uncertainty and will largely be operating as separate entities in the short term.---11:40 a.m.DraftKings and FanDuels executives say the last year of battling with regulators across the country for their industrys survival helped bring about the merger of the once bitter daily fantasy sports rivals.DraftKings CEO Jason Robins, who will take over as chief executive of the combined company, told The Associated Press Friday following the merger announcement that the costly legal war showed how much of a common vision and common goal the two companies shared.FanDuel CEO Nigel Eccles, who will serve as board chairman, also played down concerns about the merger possibly running afoul of federal antitrust laws.He says the merger will help competition in the relatively new industry, which is an offshoot of traditional, season-long fantasy sports.Eccles says a combined company will help better push for regulatory clarity around the games, which have been likened to illegal sports betting.---9:33 a.m.Daily fantasy sports rivals DraftKings and FanDuel have agreed to merge after months of speculation and increasing regulatory scrutiny.The two companies made the announcement Friday but didnt release financial terms. The deal isnt expected to be finalized until later in 2017 and still requires federal approval.Industry experts say the merger will likely raise anti-trust concerns with regulators since the companies control nearly 90 percent of the market.Company officials say the merger will help cut costs as the two fight to remain legal in states across the country.Daily fantasy sports competitions are online games in which players pick teams of real life athletes and vie for prizes based on how those athletes perform in actual games.But state regulators have questioned whether the competitions amount to illegal sports betting.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- After starting season 4-0 -- all four wins at home -- No. 25 Florida States first road trip of the season ended 1-1.And by the time they take the floor Monday night for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge against Minnesota, the Seminoles could be out of the poll as quickly as they got in.That will be up to the AP Top 25 voters, who placed Florida State (5-1) among the countrys elite for the first time since the 2012 season last Monday. But the Seminoles were upset by a 2-2 Temple team in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off on Thanksgiving, despite leading by as many as 18 points in the second half.They rebounded in a big way a day later, handily beating Illinois in the third-place game, despite some noticeable errors in their play.Right now, were going through some growing pains. We have guys missing assignments, not quite sure where to be, said Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton, whose top two scorers are a sophomore and freshman.

The 6-foot-10 Lynch, who averages nine points and 3.6 blocks, sat Saturday with an ankle injury.Florida State will wear turquoise uniforms against Minnesota on Monday to raise awareness for bringing sport to Native American and Aboriginal youth. It marks the seventh time -- but the first time this season -- the Seminoles will wear the special uniforms.The Seminole Tribe of Florida approached us about this program and we are honored and excited to wear these unique uniforms, Hamilton said. The color is significant as it is deeply symbolic of friendship and community in the Native American culture.Florida State first wore the turquoise uniforms in their 89-61 win over UT-Martin in Tallahassee on November 17, 2013.
