Dallas Cowboys (Official Thread)

Steelers trading WR George Pickens to Cowboys​

George Pickens is departing from the black and gold to provide Dak Prescott with an outstanding complementary target next to CeeDee Lamb.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trading Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday, per sources informed of the deal. Dallas will receive Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick, while Pittsburgh will get a 2026 third-round selection and a 2027 fifth-rounder, Rapoport added.

Akron Zips (Official Thread)

MAC Football Program Ineligible for Postseason Due to Academic Struggles​

It's been a rough few years in the Rubber City.

Akron is an important patch in the college football quilt—John Heisman made one of his first coaching stops there, for instance. However, the Zips have fallen on dark times.

The COVID-19 pandemic decimated the university, and its once-reliable recruiting base has been bleeding population for decades. These socioeconomic factors add up, and on Tuesday Akron fans learned their team will not be going bowling this year due to a low Academic Progress Rate.

Academic Progress Rate measures term-by-term eligibility rates, with programs whose APRs fall under 930 receiving certain sanctions. A low APR in the 2022 season cost the Zips practice time, and an even lower one in 2023 will—in a rarity—cost Akron a bowl game this season.
