The current hot topic in the world of sports is the recent rule changes that were passed in the National Football League earlier this week at the NFL owner’s meetings. It came out earlier this week that the NFL is making two major rule changes starting in 2024: the league is banning the “hip-drop” tackle where a player uses his weight to bring the ball carrier down to the ground by his waste; the NFL is also overhauling the kickoff format, adopting an XFL variation that will completely change the look of things going forward. Kickers will continue to kick from the 35-yard line, but the other 10 players must line up at the opponent’s 40-yard line. At least nine members of the return team will line up in the “setup zone” between their own 30- and 35-yard lines, and up to two returners will line up in the “landing zone” between the goal line and 20-yard line. Here’s a diagram to help you visualize the NFL’s new kickoff play: College Football: Are NFL rule changes going to trickle down to NCAA?

Oh brother Canzano: Oregon State and Washington State close to TV deal for football games Exposure -- not revenue -- is the primary focus Oregon State and Washington State are putting the final touches on a television deal involving the broadcast of their 2024 home football games. The Beavers have seven home games next season and the Cougars have six. The two Pac-12 Conference schools bundled them together in a 13-game offering. The CW Network is believed to be the primary broadcast partner. The network was in extended talks with the Pac-12 as recently as a week ago, per sources. The CW doesn't have an in=house sports production arm. Raycom produces the ACC sports events. NASCAR produces its broadcasts. If the CW ends up as the Pac-12's partner, the Pac-12 Network would produce Oregon State and Washington State's 13 home football games, I'm told.

Good article about Division Street. Worth the read. "they do what they need to do," a collective leader in the Pac-12 previously told On3 said. "They don't need to build a social media brand around it. They don't need to be as public-facing as a lot of us feel like we need to. They just don't have any of those needs. They just get to operate in the shadows and take their kids to Nike. It's almost like they're in a different category." The Oregon-driven NIL collective has partnered with the University of Oregon to release the “University of Oregon” Air Max 1 on Tuesday. A unique piece of memorabilia for Ducks fans, the sneakers are expected to be available exclusively through GOAT with more details to come. Similar to other Division Street products, proceeds from sales will go back to Oregon athletes, making the sneakers even more unique. The collective has previously dropped exclusive Air Jordan 8s, a Dunk Low and an Air Force 1 Low. Last March, the organization released player edition Air Huaraches to celebrate the first anniversary of the Flying Formations NFT launch. Ducks of a Feather has also become Division Street’s apparel line. In a sneak peek on Instagram, the “University of Oregon” Air Max 1s are different than the typical bright orange and yellow. Instead, the sneakers are duck-inspired, featuring earth tones and an antique feel. The shoe also has an Oregon hangtag and the motto “Once a duck, always a duck” is sewn on the heel.

2024 Big Ten football head coach rankings from 1 to 18: With no Jim Harbaugh, Ryan Day claims top spot For the uninitiated, these lists are totally subjective. This is meant to be a fun exercise, but it’s my rankings. While career achievements are taken into account, college football has become a sport that’s constantly changing, so recent performance (wins, recruiting, working the transfer portal, hiring assistants, producing NFL Draft picks, etc) is weighed much more heavily than what you’ve done in the past. Entering the 224 season, the Big Ten head coach rankings look considerably different than they did just one year ago. There’s no Jim Harbaugh or Pat Fitzgerald. Hello, Pac-12 compadres Lincoln Riley, Dan Lanning, Jedd Fisch and DeShaun Foster. And where do you rank Sherrone Moore or Jonathan Smith? There’s plenty to debate. Let’s dive in. 2024 Big Ten football head coach rankings from 1 to 18: With no Jim Harbaugh, Ryan Day claims top spot - On3 WWW.ON3.COM With Jim Harbaugh off to the NFL, Ryan Day is now the Big Ten’s top head coach.
