At Michigan camp, Harbaugh decided to randomly have the entire team playing softball for a day, just to see who is unflinchingly competitive in all possible situations.

Ricky Town transferring is kind of surprising, but in hindsight it is surprising that he went to USC at all if he's transferring at this point. He must have come in thinking that he'd be 3rd string worst case, and possibly backing up Kessler this fall (which wasn't a horrible assumption - Max Browne still looked pretty green in the garbage time when he played last year, and the other QB coming in was ONLY a 4 star Sam Darnold). Now in fall camp, he found himself 4th string behind a much improved Max Browne and Sam Darnold, who it turns out is pretty impressive. USC finds itself in a weird position - they'd have been better off NOT getting a 5 star QB, since they are still scholarship restrained and that spot could have gone to another athlete (like one of the 4 guys they blue shirted).Now that scholarship spot in the 2015 class is gone with Town transferring.

Real Name Grover posted:Oh hey, news (kinda) You will continue to work for the system until the system lets you die. Reading their reasoning looks like Bush v Gore speciousness: they're essentially saying that if the NLRB were to allow them to unionise, they could only do that with private universities and not public ones and since that would be unfair to public universities they can't do it. They're basically saying the merits of the case don't matter because it would create competition and foster a free market.

This is a little late for stadiumchat, but it always focuses on the biggest stadiums. So I decided to go the other way. Behold. The smallest stadium in each FBS conference. First, the G5 American Yulman Stadium (Tulane) - 30,000  Conference USA Jerry Richardson Stadium (Charlotte) - 15,314 (also the smallest stadium in FBS period)  MAC Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium (UMass) - 17,000  Mountain West Maverik Stadium (Utah State) - 25,513  Sun Belt Kibbie Dome (Idaho) - 16,000

If he redshirted in the past due to injury: probably, yes. He has to petition the NCAA but they're usually good about it. If he redshirted in the past due to non-injury: no.

It always gets me that you can see how BB&T Field @ WF and Lane Stadium were built on the same concept, but VT has managed to make a program worth doubling it's original base.

I honestly had no idea the front of Wake's stadium looked like that. I've been there twice and I'm fairly certain we came in on the away side(I think near the club seats over there) so I never saw the front. Sat on the hill once, it was actually pretty great.

Washington's lone returning starter on the OL just retired from football. That means that we now need to replace last year's starting: QB #1 WR LT LG C RG RT DE DT DT DE OLB MLB That's all of the OL, and 6 of the front 7. Going to to be a long year!

He has a redshirt year he can take, yes. The question is what his draft status would be now after missing a year - he will probably opt to return next year IMO though it's hard to tell because it is similar to what happen to Knile Davis.

The NCAA ruled their stadium was too small for NCAA D1 play, so it was being remolded and expanded while they played in Gillette. MAC wants them out partly because the team was total rear end for most of the time they were in it, and because I don't think they want football-only members anymore.

It seats 18,000 and cost $60 million. There are a handful of other stadiums used by Texas high school football teams that seat more, but they're all shared by multiple schools and sometimes professional sports teams, so if you want the most decadent high school football stadium, then look no further.
