“I'm definitely hoping to do that,” Gebbia said when asked if he plans to take his visit that weekend. “But we play the night before. If it's not a night game, I'm probably not going to be able to make it out.”

Oddly enough, no one had better commentary on Baylor than Amy Schumer:

You are on top of it GSG5545!

BU commissioned a third-party law firm to investigate the school's handling of, among other things, many allegations of violence against women by football players. That report is expected to be released to the public soon.

Thank you!

 

Between the start of the season and the Christmas/Pro Bowl Skills Competition break, every team gets a bye every two weeks, with one string of three straight games thrown in. This allows for a number of algorithms when it comes to scheduling, and the upshot for fans is that our brain cells can stop dancing around like Boggle at 1 p.m. ET because there will no longer be 47 games being played simultaneously. The new schedule allows for just enough. Take Sept. 27, for example. Ten teams might be on their first bye, leaving 11 games for the week, and just eight in the Sunday afternoon slots. The revenue increases for more televised weeks that would get the NFL to its desired $25 billion in revenue mark in an instant. And the new CBA would dictate a decent chunk of that money to trickle into the paychecks of the players. Financially, it’s a win-win. -Melissa Jacobs

Every team would still only play 16 regular season games over the course of 22 weeks. The guys on unsportsmanlike conduct (skip to the 5:15 mark) had an interesting take on it.

I am having a hard time time with Twitter links. How do I link tweets so that they displays on the HB page and not just a link to click? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I cant seem to figure out how to properly link to tweets.

Banks talked about his recruitment with Scout. Free link from Scout.

Keyshawn Johnson Jr. found out when the rest of the Twitter world did. The wide receiver just happened to be checking the social media device when his dad’s trash talking of the Oregon Ducks ran across his feed.

The Big Ten will do what’s best for the Big Ten, and ESPN has to take that same position. Everyone is watching what’s happening in the television world, the un-bundling that’s taking place, different platforms available now that maybe weren’t in the last go-around for TV contracts. This isn’t pointing a finger at ESPN in any way, stating you have to or don’t have to participate as a partner of the Big Ten. It’s more about: Can the two groups come together? -Northwestern Athletic Director Jim Phillips

I think ESPN/ABC is great for national exposure.
