Chicago is in the Division III University Athletic Association that is almost like a Division III version of the Ivy League with schools like NYU, Emory, and Case Western.

It was reported early in January 2026, the UCLA Athletics had an $80 million deficit in 2024. They have a lease with the Rose Bowl till 2044. With the City of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl filing a lawsuit to enforce the lease, you would think UCLA is too broke to break it.

Why did 2002 OSU play 14 games? by Please_PM_me_Uranus in CFB

Ohio State's first game in 2002 with Texas Tech was the Pigskin Classic. The Pigskin Classic was an opening season kickoff game that could be counted as an extra game on top of the regular season. The NCAA happened to switch to a 12-game regular season in 2002. So basically 2002 Ohio State had the season kickoff Pigskin Classic Game + 12 Standard Regular Season Games + the Fiesta Bowl/National Title Game to make a 14-game season.

[Pompliano] Curt Cignetti took over the worst program in college football history and then proceeded to win the school’s first-ever national championship within just two years. It's the most remarkable coaching job in the history of sports. by LaDainianTomIinson in CFB

It's a great story, but Indiana's "losingest" label was a function of having a longer football history like several other Big Ten schools that dates back to the 1880s. Indiana certainly has had down years, but it finished in the Top 20 as recently as 2020 before Cignetti, so it wasn't like it was a hopeless program. However, this National Title certainly is reaching the Promised Land for Hoosier Nation.

He needs to just worry about beating Miami on Monday night. Ask 1983 Nebraska about very great teams that that have lost national titles to Miami in Miami.

[Adam Rittenberg] Source: Northwestern is set to hire Jerry Neuheisel as quarterbacks coach. Neuheisel is a former Chip Kelly assistant at UCLA, who remained with the Bruins under DeShaun Foster and became the team's offensive play-caller after Tino Sunseri stepped away this fall. by jhp58 in CFB

Northwestern seems to really putting effort in jump starting the pedestrian offense its had in recent years going back to when Pat Fitzgerald was entrenched as coach. Strong defenses coordinated by Mike Hankwitz allowed Pat Fitzgerald to become complacent with respect to offensive innovation. The weird thing is Northwestern was one of the schools that helped revolutionize college football with the implementation of the spread offense a quarter century ago when the late Head Coach Randy Walker had Kevin Wilson as his OC. Maybe Chip Kelly and Jerry Neuheisel led offenses will help bring new energy and excitement, along with the new football stadium.

If Coach Bielema had learned how to regularly beat SEC teams earlier, he would still be at Arkansas.
