News & notes 


Rumor Mill - The Big Ten trying to steal Texas A&M away from the SEC

The MAC to induct Nick Saban into their HOF, who got his coaching start with Kent State & Toledo


The 2026 Arms race is in full swing


★★★★ SAF Tony Williams commits to UCF


RB Jerome Bettis Jr follows in fathers steps and committed to Notre Dame


The 10 FBS conferences and Notre Dame finalized a new $1.3 billion television contract for the College Football Playoff with ESPN. The new contract is expected to pay the Big Ten and SEC 29% of the upcoming contract, sources told CBS Sports, which works out to approximately $22 million per school. The ACC will receive 17% ($13-14 million per school) and the Big 12 will sit around 15% ($12 million per school). The numbers represent a raise across the board as all Power Five institutions receive approximately $5 million per school in the previous contract. The Group of Five will split 9% of the contract, but the number may not be split evenly among the teams and five conferences. The independent schools will split 1%, while Notre Dame will get the bulk at around $12 million.


The NCAA Rules Committee expected to approve new rules on April 18th. In-helmet communication, 2-minute timeouts, tablet usage on sidelines (18), 15-yard horse-collar tackle penalties within the tackle box, uniform violations (loss of TO or penalty).
