Red sauce, Red Stick & red faced: Bo Pelini is back in the big leagues.

Unfiltered Bo on a perception he says is unfair, a future he believes is bright & a parody Twitter account he calls ridiculous.

“Most people never got to know who I really was"

“All the way back to when I was the defensive coordinator at Nebraska (in 2003), there was always an adjective in front of my name. The fiery Bo Pelini... the this Bo Pelini and that Bo Pelini. It got blown out of proportion.”

Amid CFP expansion negotiations that may impact the Army-Navy game, Donald Trump says he will sign an executive order to grant the game an exclusive 4-hour window.

Discussions over a 16-team CFP feature two play-in games - seeds 16 vs 13 & 15 vs 14 - on the day of Army-Navy. Image
The timing of the play-in games may not be an issue (they can be played around Army-Navy’s 3 pm kick).

However, if Army or Navy is the G6 rep in CFP, timing is problematic. The academies - against moving the game - may want a seeding exemption (12 seed) into the first round.
The new first round would be played the next weekend (third week of December) and would pit play-in game winners vs seeds 3-12 (top two seeds earn byes into quarters).

A traditional 16-team format - no byes - presents difficulty in scheduling eight first-round games around NFL.

Lane Kiffin’s future hangs in doubt after a meeting at the UM chancellor’s home over whether he may continue to coach despite intentions to leave for LSU, sources tell @YahooSports.

Vehicles belonging to Kiffin & AD Keith Carter were seen leaving at 6:45.

As they have now for a week, LSU officials believe they hold Lane Kiffin’s commitment to be their next coach, though his desire to continue coaching Ole Miss in the postseason is a snag delaying the formalization of the move, sources tell @YahooSports.

The meeting the Ole Miss chancellor’s home drew interest on a cold, rainy and dark night in Oxford.

At one point, a dark SUV slowed to a crawl out front of the home and a woman emerged from the passenger window, hanging out to snap a shot of vehicles out front. Image

The Big Ten has signaled to Michigan & USC that it plans to move forward with a $2.4B capital deal, sources tell @YahooSports.

U-M & USC face a tentative deadline (Nov. 20) before it may vote to extend the GoR without all members - an unprecedented step

If Michigan and USC do not agree to the capital deal with UC Investments, the schools may lose millions in additional capital funds and risk their future within the conference beyond 2036 - the current existing end of the league’s grant-of-rights.
The potential for a 16-school capital agreement has sparked a meeting Monday among board members at five Big Ten schools and reps from the American Council of Trustees & Alumni, which believes board members have been illegally cut out of the process, they tell @YahooSports.

Here are full comments about LSU from Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry at a news conference where he called Brian Kelly’s contract “terrible,” announced AD Scott Woodward would not hire the next coach and says he’d rather Donald Trump be in charge of the search than Woodward.

(thread)
“My role is about the fiscal effect of firing a coach under a terrible contract. I care about what the tax payers' are on the hook on and I was not happy about raising ticket prices while we were having a losing season and we were paying a coach $100M and not getting results.”
“I think that it had gotten to the point that the spirit of the team needed a change and that change was made. We’re going to move on. We are without a president right now at LSU. I’m hoping the Board of Supervisors gets us one very quickly.”

Executives of the American, MWC, MAC, C-USA, Pac-12 and Sun Belt held an all-day meeting Tuesday in Dallas, those involved tell @YahooSports.

They explored shared interests and a collaborative strategy in Congressional lobbying, NCAA governance, development & revenue-generation.
While the non-A4 conference commissioners often hold calls together, the meeting is notable as it included university presidents as well as business leaders and entrepreneurs in a more serious discussion over philosophical ideas related to the future of the industry.
Leaders examined several issues, most notably the U.S. House bill (SCORE Act) and its enshrinement of the new NCAA governance model, as well as unifying FBS media rights - an idea gaining momentum from many universities.

Members of the U.S. House are planning, as soon as Thursday, to introduce an amended college sports bill (SCORE Act), sources tell @YahooSports.

Though opposed by many Democrats, the Act is on track to progress further than any all-encompassing athlete compensation legislation. Image
The Act, an amended version obtained by @YahooSports, codifies the settlement, grants liability protection, preempts state NIL laws & includes anti-employment clause.

It brings regulation to agents & requires schools provide athlete degree completion, post-grad healthcare, etc.
The Act, originating from three committees (Judiciary, Education & Commerce), has a chance to swiftly move thru committee and onto a Republican-controlled House floor - not insignificant.

Two bill “markups” - serious steps in route to the floor - are planned for this month.
