Per multiple outlets, an arrest warrant has been issued for #Browns WR Odell Beckham. He is being charged with simple battery.

He slapped the ass of a cop during #LSU's post-game locker room celebration.

Happy Thursday.
@WBRZ and @wdsu have reported on the arrest warrant
Story from The Advocate on this - nola.com/news/crime_pol…
For years, I've tried to explain to people how unique it is to cover #LSU, just different than any other beat I have encountered.

Today, my case is rested.

Five Michigan football coaches at the center of the recruiting violations during the COVID dead period have reached an agreement on penalties with the NCAA. Image
"The negotiated resolution also involved the school's agreement that the underlying violations demonstrated a head coach responsibility violation and the former football head coach failed to meet his responsibility to cooperate with the investigation."
Penalties:
- three years of probation for Michigan
- a fine & recruiting restrictions
- one-year show-cause orders for the coaches

NCAA president Charlie Baker is proposing the creation of an FBS subdivision that permits schools to directly compensate athletes thru a trust fund & NIL, sources tell @YahooSports.

It is perhaps the most revolutionary concept introduced in NCAA history.

Charlie Baker outlined the groundbreaking proposal in a letter sent to DI members & obtained by @YahooSports.

Members of the new FBS subdivision are permitted to strike NIL deals with their own athletes, but the most impactful change is the trust fund. bit.ly/4a68NIY
For entry into the subdivision, schools are required to deposit annually at least $30,000 per athlete into a trust for half of their athletes. Schools must follow Title IX (50% go to women).

A 4-year athlete stands to earn at least $120,000 in a career.

It’s Egg Bowl Week. One of the most beautifully dirty rivalries there is - steeped in pettiness, espionage & pure hatred.

Here's our traditional Thanksgiving Week Monday thread on a rivalry that made me fall in love with college football. Image
The petty goes back to the founding of one of the schools in 1878.

Mississippi A&M, now Mississippi State, was created 30 years after the University of Mississippi “because of the disdain dirt farmers had for Ole Miss,” per archives.

In many ways, nothing has changed.
In 1905, after the two teams played for the first time in Jackson - an 11-0 State win - Mississippi State students carried out a full military-style funeral for Ole Miss football, toting a real coffin through the heart of the city.

It’s final: ACC presidents have approved expansion to add Stanford, Cal and SMU, sources tell @YahooSports, ending a month-long saga into an issue that divided the league.
The expectation entering the meeting this morning was that at least one member - NC State - planned to support the expansion proposal, giving the league the necessary 12 votes for expansion.
Under the ACC’s most recent proposal, Stanford & Cal would take a reduced TV share (~30%) & SMU was expected to take 0 TV share for ~9 years.

The schools would see an escalation in their shares thru the GoR & they’d receive non-TV ACC shares from NCAAT, CFP & incentive pool.

The SEC’s scheduling dilemma is over: The league will play 8 conference games in 2024 when Texas & OU join in what is likely to be a short-term format with a play to eventually get to 9.

Before officials arrived here in Destin - as we reported Monday - this was the trajectory.
Division place is eliminated, as expected. Two top teams from the standings play in the title game.

The one Power 5 non-conference game requirement remains.
Greg Sankey does confirm that the SEC will explore a long-term scheduling format that, Sankey says, is "fully open." Continuing dialogue will continue.

As is tradition, a thread on the Egg Bowl, which is the dirtiest, ugliest, most awesome rivalry I’ve ever been around.

It is rooted in posturing, pettiness & espionage.

It is the type of series that makes college football both unique and better than any other sport.
