Old faces in new places. Fortunately or unfortunately, I can't decide which, I recall all of these games except for the CUSA game involving Missouri State. OBD - 39, 38, and 8. And a Sonny Sixkiller vs Gary Danielson sighting; 35. Danielson leaves Dixie and returns to his roots in 2024. Cheers, Boilermakers all around!

A $2.75 Billion Dollar Settlement Will Not Bring Down the College Sports House
Greg Sankey weighs in on the post-House settlement future of college sports. Emerson: What Greg Sankey didn't say may be as important as what he did WWW.NYTIMES.COM Which side of Sankey will win out? That could help determine what's next for college sports. Tony Petitti? I'm hoping the B1G commissioner will not sit back; he will be as upfront as Sankey and be prepared to skewer the SEC's CFB 8-game conference schedule and too many playoff sites in Dixie and not in the West and the Midwest. Jim Delany was far from a shrinking violet. The accommodation between the Power 2 is nice so long as Petitti doesn't take a back seat.

Ranking theTop 10 Oregon Football Players for the 2024 Season
Long offseason so why not? All ten will have an impact but after the season plays out, let's see if The League believes that 10 Ducks are worthy of a draft pick. Dillon Gabriel No. 1? I sure hope so. But I'll wait to see how the oblong ball bounces.

How Much Technology Should College Football Have on the Sidelines?
Thank you, DM for another terrific article. One other new thing that one wonders why has taken so long. In 2024 the NFL is experimenting with the 'electronic measurement' of 1st downs. Chains will still be used to help the refs with eyeball placement of the ball but not in test cases in determining first downs. Adding helmet communication and sideline tablets is but one of many changes that are further separating the B1G Ducks from the financial fledglings. This includes the sport recognizing the Power 2 conferences with the B1G and the SEC receiving a much larger share of CFB playoff revenue. 46 of the 47 most-watched CFB games in 2023-24 featured at least one B1G or SEC team. The No. 1 watched game was Ohio State vs Michigan. The ACC will implode before its media deal expires in 2036. Add Notre Dame and the big ACC brands to the B1G/SEC and perhaps, a B12 team or two, and why not play a B1G vs SEC 'football college world series' without including Libery in the field and a leftover ACC and B12 team ranked outside of the top 12 (14,16 come 2026?) in the playoff field? Antitrust? Share 'world series' money with teams participating in ACC, B12, G5 playoffs. The Kansas City Chiefs are the World Champions of Football even though the Saskatchewan Roughriders were not invited to the dance. Thanks again.

Pritchard is Helping Boston WIN!
Go Olde Towne Team! For decades, the only pro team in Boston that played like champions and not chumps. If Red Auerbach lit up a victory cigar on the bench today how long would it take for him to be arrested? Hats off to Pritchard.

Duck Dive: 2024 In-Depth Look Into Each Big Ten School's Football Team
Thank you, NJ. Interesting that none of the 5 teams discussed above are on the 2024 schedule. B1G teams on the schedule in 2025 - Home - Indiana, Minnesota, USC. Wisconsin. Plus Montana State, Oklahoma State, and Oregon State. Road games at Iowa, Northwestern, Penn State, Rutgers, and UW. 7 home games with 2 trips to the Eastern time zone to play Penn State and Rutgers. 2 to the Central time zone to play Iowa and NW. No Michigan and no Ohio State on the regular season schedule in 2025. Ohio State opens 2025 with a home game vs Texas. In Week 2 Michigan plays Oklahoma in Norman. Michigan and Ohio State also play 7 home games in 2025. I'd like to see Rob Mullens doing all he can to have Oregon play 8 home games every season.

He passed on July 4th at the age of 98. He played 9 holes of golf 3 days a week up to 2 weeks before passing. A generation, male and female, of patriotic, tough people.

Shilo Sanders Files for Bankruptcy
The school where the assault and battery occurred is bankrupt and closed. One reason behind the school's BK was Prime Time's not coming through with a promised gift. Thank goodness Puddles is going B1G and not B12.
