Greetings,
The R7 with RF-S 18-150 is unfortunately slightly above your budget, but I'm confident it would meet your sports and event photography needs pretty well.
EOS R7 RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Kit (canon.com)
It is also available Refurb from Canon, but right now this package is out of stock. You are very lucky. In my day, I carried an AE-1 and 70-210 zoom (film). I was on the yearbook team all 4 yrs which back then also included Darkroom. The above camera and lens would be great for daily life in the quad, football, baseball, swimming and more.
