Norvell hire a success for Rams.

Colorado State is in need of new life in their offense and Jay Norvell should be the perfect person for that with his use of the air-raid scheme.

NCAA releases a draft of the new constitution.

The new rules and governing of the NCAA is coming, eventually. Here is the latest draft they sent out. Highlights include broader NIL language, reimagining the NCAA President’s role, promoting diversity, and the big one: clarifying each division must determine how multidivisional sport classification should be managed (aka a move toward autonomy).
