Mod Edit:
Of course the author is a bit of an idiot and listed the wrong Head Coach Brent. Hopefully that doesn't invalidate his rankings.
Thought this was a cool concept. I bet we could come up with better assignments for the countries than the average twitter users.

NCAA approves corporate advertisements to be placed on college football fields this fall: an advertisement centered on the 50 & no more than 2 smaller flanking advertisements elsewhere on the field. This can be done on a game-by-game basis or entire season— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) June 6, 2024
Who do we expect to see on Worsham field this year? Surely it has to be Smithfield. Let's see the photoshops!
Four VT rankings: 20, 21, 24, and 39.

I enjoyed this one:
"The recruiting hasn't been there yet, for whatever reason. It's a very hard to recruit in-state because out-of-state programs raid the top guys, and now Virginia Tech is cooking again."
Five kickoff times and TV coverage for those games have been announced:
August 31st - at Vanderbilt - Noon - ESPN
September 7th - Marshall - 4:30pm - CW
September 14th - at ODU - 6pm - ESPN+
September 27th - at Miami - 7:30pm - ESPN
October 17th - Boston College - 7:30pm - ESPN
They have nothing on college athletic programs. I hope Nike leaves room for the Kroger patch on the new uniform template. Panhandling at every turn. A Cook Out logo should also fit where we have Drive for 25 painted on the field too.
Michael Crow said that ASU "eliminated" the debt owed to it by its athletic department—listed by Sportico at more than $300 million—as a key element of its restructuring. Not entirely clear whether the debt was entirely forgiven or dealt with in another manner: "What's happened...— Chris Karpman (@ChrisKarpman) May 24, 2024
And with this, the era of absorbing Athletic Departments back into the main school funding has begun. I'm sure the students of ASU like to know their tuition just went to forgiving athletic debt.
Former University of Florida football recruit Jaden Rashada is suing coach Billy Napier, along with a big-time Gator booster and others, claiming they defrauded him out of millions of dollars by backing out of a promised $13.85 million agreement after the quarterback had turned down offers tied to other programs.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday includes an allegation that Rashada signed his national letter of intent to Florida on Dec. 21, 2022, less than an hour after Napier promised the player's father a $1 million "partial payment" that day upon signing. Rashada never received the $1 million, and the boosters never fulfilled the deal, the lawsuit states.

Babcock and Pry confirmed the rumors we've been discussing at the Spring Meetings:
Both athletic director Whit Babcock and football coach Brent Pry, who are attending the ACC's spring meetings at The Ritz-Carlton, confirmed the upcoming reveal.
Some quotes I found interesting/exciting:
Amazing (and very long) piece from News & Observer titled Florida State-ACC was a perfect marriage — until it wasn't that's walks through the history of the modern ACC, starting with the addition of FSU in 1991. Strongly recommend reading the whole piece.
The premise of the piece is that FSU joining the ACC was always about money, just like FSU's seemingly inevitable exit. But this piece is about so much more than FSU:
