What do college football rosters cost? The secretive nature makes the numbers hard to pin down but we mobilized @theathletic.com CFB staff — which talked to more than 70 sources — in an attempt to find out. Here's the result of that reporting (free link to read): www.nytimes.com/athletic/int...

nytimes.comDoes your college football roster cost $8M or $50M? Here's our report on 68 teams (Gift Article)The best teams are, on average, the ones paying players the most, but there's a wide disparity between the schools at the top and the bottom of major conferences.

Iconic entrances are part of college football’s pageantry. Houston is on its way to creating one of its own with its candy red slab. “Now that’s H-Town,” Bun B said. For @theathletic.com, my story on the coolest new team entrance in CFB: www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

nytimes.comHouston rolls out an old-school, candy-red Cadillac. It’s college football pageantry done right (Gift Article)Slabs have been part of Houston’s culture for decades. Now the Cougars are honoring the tradition during their pregame walkout.

Oregon State hanging on to Jesse Legree is a huge win for the Beavers. Speaks volumes of what JaMarcus Shephard is building in Corvallis, to retain a guy who every well-resourced, receiver-needy team would have targeted and thrown big offers toward. 🦫📈📈

honestly the fact that nobody broke Case Keenum's career NCAA passing yardage record during the COVID + waiver eras of NCAA eligibility means it's probably going to stand forever. Dillon Gabriel had the best shot as a 5.5-ish year starter for 3 separate schools but came up 500 yards short

I always think of how he's the NCAA's most prolific passer

I don’t often watch MNF — Monday nights I’m wasting away at kid’s soccer practice — but for Case Keenum, I will #GoCoogs

Here's Laura Rutledge explaining that the secret service will not interfere with the radio communications at this game immediately followed by the broadcast audio going to hell

Having Army put together a game-winning drive against you has to be so brutal. You can see it coming for 45 minutes and can’t do anything about it. Like the guy in Austin Powers getting run over by a steamroller

Welp. That was a freshman mistake by Jared Curtis. Regardless, a lot to like out of this performance. Lots of expected errors for a first career start and the turnovers are killer but the kid has it.

So much work by my colleagues went into this. (To be clear I did absolutely none of that work, but saying "so much work by my colleagues went into this" is an old trick that makes people think you must have been really helpful. Keep that one in mind for when you need it)
