The Virginia Cavaliers just refreshed their brand identity for the first time since the early 1990s, introducing among other things three new logos today:



As a lifelong Wahoo, I think these are freaking dope.

These are super dope!

"Power 5 conferences are now asking Congress to bypass NCAA & move to give college athletes rights to earn $ from name, image, likeness.

Nice to see some autonomy. However, not holding breath on federal action. Glad to see Florida has applied big pressure. https://t.co/DzbwknLbxl"


Definitely feels The Power 5 knows NCAA is reluctant to actually doing anything about NIL.

The College Football Hall of Fame was damaged during the activities in Atlanta.

EDIT: The "good" news, if it can be called that, is that the people involved were unable to get to the museum/artifacts. The damage is mainly restriced to the gift shop.

R.I.P. Pat Dye. two stories I always loved about Dye, who just so happened to also be one of Bear's boys, when asking Bear Bryant what he thought of leaving Wyoming after one year as their HC to take the Auburn job, Bear told him dont take it, he'd never beat a Bear-led Bama team. Dye told him maybe not, but he'd beat whoever replaced Bear like a red-headed stepchild. And after Dye accepted the Auburn job, after losing 8 straight Iron Bowls, the Auburn family wanted to know how long it would take to beat Bama. Dye gave the perfect answer: 60 minutes. Rest in peace coach.

Rest in peace Coach Majors. just like Peyton Manning, robbed of his rightful Heisman back in '56.

Paul Hornung of Notre Dame had won the Heisman back in '56, with Johnny Majors finishing second. It was a controversial win for Hornung because Notre Dame had finished with a 2-8 record and Hornung hadn't even received the most first-place votes. Tennessee had finished #2, led by Majors.

Hornung had thought Majors was upset over the voting for the Heisman. And Hornung was right.

Years later, Hornung had Majors on his radio show. They were going to settle the argument over who should have won the 1956 Heisman. The very first question Hornung asked, "Ok, who should have won the Heisman in 1956?"

Majors answered, "Jim Brown."

To this day the only winner that played for a losing team.

OJ Mayo is also back, on the basketball side.

The real question is, will Reggie get the Heisman back?

Re: College Football Off Topic

Give Reggie his Heisman back.

He was special that year.

I imagine so. I see NCAA throwing a fit. But I also see other states trying to quickly follow suit. It will create a big recruiting advantage if other states don't follow.

I know of the proposed NCAA working group recommendation. But I wonder what difference will there be from Florida's and NCAA
