WR Chris Olave (1st Team All B1G, 1st Team All-American, New Orleans Saints)

Why is this guy allowed to remain in the league? Does the players association not care about the health and safety of their members?
Struggling Saints place Olave on injured reserve
The New Orleans Saints, who take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, placed Chris Olave on injured reserve Saturday after he sustained two concussions in three weeks, and the receiver will seek answers from specialists while he misses at least four games.www.espn.com

"We're trying to figure out what's the best now for the long term," Rizzi said. "There's a process in which he's going through. He met with our people and then there's people outside the building. ... Chris is going to be out right now for the short term, and then we'll make a decision for the long term. But he is meeting with multiple people and everyone here, our medical staff has been in touch with all of them."

Woods was fined $16,683 for his hit on Olave, which also resulted in a penalty. It was Woods' ninth unnecessary roughness penalty since entering the league in 2017, the most in the NFL in that span.

Northwestern reveals plans for $850M Ryan Field
When Northwestern opens the new Ryan Field in 2026, it will not only be the largest stadium project in college football history, with a price tag of $850 million, but possibly a model for future stadium designs around the sport.Northwestern reveals plans for new $850 million Ryan Field
When Northwestern opens the new Ryan Field in 2026, it will not only be the largest stadium project in college football history, with a price tag of $850 million, but possibly a model for future stadium designs around the sport.
Plans for the privately funded stadium, supported mostly by the Ryan family, were revealed Monday and shared with ESPN. The new Ryan Field has elements from recently constructed NFL stadiums as well as soccer facilities in MLS and the English Premier League. The stadium will have the Big Ten's smallest capacity at 35,000, but emphasizes the experience for each spectator, which includes sightlines much closer to the field than traditional bowled stadiums, because of structural steel in the base of the stadium.
"Our worst seat in this stadium is 100 feet closer to the field than the most expensive seat at the Big House," .........said Pat Ryan Jr., co-CEO of Ryan Sports Development, referring to 107,601-seat Michigan Stadium. "You're building things up and cantilevering them over instead of going out. It's structurally much more challenging from an engineering perspective, but you've got to create better-than-TV sightlines."
Ryan, whose family is a minority owner of the Chicago Bears and has a stake in the EPL club AFC Bournemouth, surveyed multiple recent professional facilities during the design process. The new Ryan Field will feature a canopy that covers the entire seating area but not the playing field, and is designed to maximize sound. Northwestern's student section will be positioned and designed more like a supporters' section at top soccer stadiums.
Lower.com Field, which opened in 2021 as the new home for the MLS' Columbus Crew, was the "most influential," Ryan said, in shaping the design.
"A lot of people look at first-of-its-kind and say, 'Oh, it's just a mini NFL stadium,' but it's really something specific for college," Ryan said. "Every college we've seen has said, 'We know we need to think about doing something like this, but somebody needed to go first.' Everybody else is saying, 'We're going to watch closely, and if it works, we'll come see it.'"

Mack Brown (ex-Texas and ex-UNC Head Coach)
- By cincibuck

Yeah, but if the checks come from UNC, that means his pension will be paid with taxpayer dollars. As a recipient of OSTRS funding, I often think about such things in terms of what is owed by OSTRS to folks who make more in a year than I made in a lifetime.
Brown fired by Tar Heels, to coach vs. Wolfpack
North Carolina football coach Mack Brown, 73, will not return to the Tar Heels next season but will coach Saturday's game vs. NC State, the school announced.
Brown has three years left on his contract, which pays him $5 million annually. The school said the remainder of the contract will be paid by the UNC athletic department and not through state funds.
Just sayin': UNC is still honoring (i.e paying him what is called for in) his contract.
