Best case scenario, "Combine the revenue from the ACC's Southern states with the $110 million more in revenue from the 37 million subscribers in other parts of the country outside the ACC footprint, then subtract the $100 million in channel operating costs, and you're talking about around $8 million per ACC school off the ACC Network."

I think the people at N.C. State, we believe in inclusion. Being a resident of the state, for me and my family, itâ€™s been frustrating." Elon's Matheny: "What I love about coaching is that I can sit down with players of different backgrounds. Itâ€™s important to expose players to whatâ€™s going on outside the basketball court. Itâ€™s important that theyâ€™re aware of issues that our state and our country faces. As coaches, weâ€™re the leaders. Itâ€™s important that we as coaches at programs â€” big or small â€” use our platform to promote a positive message." - link

So far T&F HC Moore, cheerleading HC Tatum and SB HC Wiggins with an extra $2K for conference titles and the possibility for $1K more for earning Most Outstanding Coach award. Mangum: "I get the sense the coaches love it because I donâ€™t think theyâ€™ve ever really been appreciated. It gets them an incentive. It gives the assistant coaches an incentive. In major sports, all of the other coaches get bonuses. And each conference has a structure. At FAMU, we just donâ€™t have the contracts structured that way. This is one way we can retain coaches. Our best coaches are always been recruited away." - link

Naming rights: Not official yet, but Miami (FL) AD James with this regarding the naming rights for the proposed $20M-$30M FB indoor practice facility for the Canes: "I believe that we have the individual who is going to make the gift. But as with anything, until we finalize the agreement with them itâ€™s not something that weâ€™re able to announce because we donâ€™t have an agreement in place. As soon as we have an agreement in place, which I believe we have the person that will make that commitment, weâ€™ll make an announcement. Once we get the funding in place, then weâ€™ll start the process that needs to be done in order to break ground."

The big thing is the north end zone project along with new sound system, new lighting, new natural turf field that the guys will play on." - link

Not for the first time, Baylor interim FB HC Grobe says that he would have taken the Nebraska HC job in 2007, but that then-AD Osborne required that some ACs be retained. Osborne: "I interviewed Jim Grobe and I think he's a good coach, but I never offered him the job and there were no stipulations on assistants... I certainly never said to anyone, 'These are the assistants you need to keep.' It's a moot point anyway because I never offered Jim the job." Grobe now says he wished he had left Wake Forest and taken the Huskers job: "I really, at the time, felt we were going to get a bigger commitment in terms of facilities and support for the program that never really materialized. We loved all 13 years we were in Winston-Salem, but Iâ€™m not real happy with the way things ended." - link

The Aspire Group may be on the way out at Texas, but it's on the way in at UT Rio Grande Valley, as the marketing firm has been brought on-board to help UTRGV develop an in-depth "ticket marketing, sales and service plan" that administrators hope will engage the university's fan base and expand its brand. UTRGV Deputy ADs/COO Volpe: "We look forward to working closely with The Aspire Group to gain a 360 degree view of our fan base and develop an extensive Ticket Marketing, Sales and Service (TiMSS) plan. This TiMSS plan will be the catalyst in driving our Department forward as we expand our brand." - link

The NCAA Baseball Rules Committee met this week and will recommend making the video replay rule a permanent fixture in the college game during the regular season. Kansas State Senior Assoc. AD and committee chair Scott: "The responses we have received toward the use of replay have been positive. We felt it was time to give institutions the opportunity to use it in regular-season games." Other recommendations included tougher punishment for use of illegal bats and the verbiage used to describe pitcher windup positions. - link
