    Sometimes there are articles of interest, but they really don't merit their own thread...Those articles will now go in here. 

     

    In my searches, I often run across these type of articles and have just not done anything with them. With the football season coming to an end, there are fewer and fewer articles being written. 

     

    I thought this would be the perfect time to start this "For Your Interest" thread. Postings will relate back to OBD in some way.

    As this will be a continuous thread, older postings can be read Right Here as newer ones are added.

     

    Be sure to come back often...You just might find something of interest to ponder...

    From now on, except for a very few circumstances, our threads will be just one page. Advertising only appears on the first page and we want to make as much money as possible for the site. 

     

    The bonus in doing this is that it will be easier for everyone to move around the thread.

     

    This thread will be continuous, but as we reach the page limit will start a new post.  Click Right Here to go to the older post to read past articles.

    NJ, would that be a hotel in Philly or Pittsburgh? I imagine it is extremely difficult to find lodging near the stadium and if found, I imagine it would not be cheap. With the game likely to be played after dark, maybe we should all meet in NJ and drive up the day of the game?

    Yes, it will be near impossible to get a hotel in College Station for any Penn State games.  We should look into a hotel as far out as we can (a year, year and half in advance) to see if we could reserve.  I think that is as far in advance as you can get.  Very difficult due to it's in rural area.

     

    You need to consider airports.  Newark, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg airports are your best bets.  Harrisburg is the closest city with an international airport and a population of around 60,000.  It takes around 1hour and minutes, which is 88 miles from Beaver Stadium.

     

    forgot to mention, Pittsburg is about 137 miles, 2 hours and 21 minutes which is the other option as you mentioned which you can fly into.  A shorter distance than Philadelphia and NJ.

     

    Philadelphia is over 3 hours from the stadium.

    Lancaster does have an airport and lots of hotels and is 1 hour and 59 minutes away.

    Again, I am 3 hours away.  If you are thinking flying in to NJ, Newark Airport would be the one.

     

    There are closer towns like Lewiston (35 minutes away, 31 miles), but not sure what hotels, if vacancies are available.

     

    You almost want a hotel as close as possible due to how late the game might end and especially if anyone wanting to get together to go out somewhere.

     

    Just some other thoughts.  There are a lot small towns all around College Station, we all could possibly get a hotel.

    Docs: NCAA could face $20B in damages, bankruptcy if proposed settlement offer isn't agreed upon

     

    If they reject a proposed settlement offer, officials from the NCAA and power conferences stand to face a catastrophic $20 billion in back damages as well as risking a bankruptcy filing, according to documents obtained by Yahoo Sports.

     

    SPORTS.YAHOO.COM

    The potential settlement is believed to be in its final stages of adoption and consists of back pay, a new compensation model and an overhaul of the NCAA scholarship system.

    Joel Klatt: Oregon’s Autzen Stadium among CFB’s Top 5 toughest places to play

     

    There just aren’t many environments in sports better than a college football powerhouse’s home stadium on a nice fall Saturday night, with tens of thousands in raucous support of their programs.

     

    On the Joel Klatt Show this week, the Fox Sports analyst was asked by a listener to lay out his top five toughest places to win in all of college football —- a question that’s nearly impossible to answer given how many legendary stadiums with diehard fans exist across the country.  But Klatt did his best to provide an accurate top five.

     

    Take a look below at his ranking of the hardest home fields to win at in college football:
