    For sure. Raising money for the stadium has to be at the top of the list for every development/major gifts solicitor in the Athletic Department. In this particular case, maybe someone can comment on the extent of advertising and promotion S & A Homes does in the State College area. If they are...

    Even with it's "revenue problems", Nike earns twice as much as Adidas, which has had it's own financial issues. The gap between the reports of what Adidas and Nike bid indicates that Adidas overpaid, something that isn't sitting too well in either Portland or Bavaria.

One-year jucos were limited to prospects who wanted better offers (see Joe Germaine, Aaron Rodgers). Prospects in academic holes large enough to...

    Did anyone get invited to this weekend's nuptials between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?

    Pedestrian traffic was also severely restricted.
