Ohio State president Ted Carter named to NCAA Board of Governors
Carter was appointed as the 17th president of Ohio State by the OSU Board of Governors on August 22, 2023. Before that, he served in the same capacity at Nebraska. He is a former college athlete himself, having played ice hockey at Navy from 1977 to 1981, lettering all four years.
Carter will serve a two-year stint on the Board of Governors. The appointment is a significant one, especially considering all the changes that we've seen in college athletics over the last few years. Having a voice from Ohio State involved in the room can't do anything but help.

Schottenheimer's decision to hide scheme, personnel well worth the Cowboys dud of a debut
The Dallas Cowboys officially have their first preseason game of the 2025 season in the books, and it couldn't have come a moment too soon. The 7-10 team from last season has been eager to put the 2024 campaign behind them and their 31-21 loss to the L.A. Rams on Saturday night successfully turned that page. In a game that was about as exciting as counting ceiling tiles during a dental visit, it was a necessary step for them, offering both team and fans some tough medicine. L.A looked like the far superior team most of the evening and the Cowboys looked every bit the playoff longshot many are billing them to be. Brian Schottenheimer's first game as a head coach probably wasn't the tone-setter he would have preferred it to be, but it was a statement and potentially a season-saving statement at that. As a first-time head coach, Schottenheimer remains a bit of a mystery around the NFL. He hasn't called plays in half a decade and when he last did, he worked somewhat under the thumb of the conservatively minded Pete Carroll. Being a man of mystery is something Schottenheimer has embraced, even saying plainly he was purposely going to show as little as possible in the leadup to the regular season. Joint practices, public practices and preseason games would all be played close to the vest. He would fight the urge to fight back and keep his motion, play fakes and general trickery under wraps. He didn't just show restraint in play calling strategy and scheming, but he also resisted the urge to roll heavy with starters in an attempt to set a new tone on the new season. For years the Cowboys have suffered from the 'soft' label and for years the Cowboys have done little but reaffirm that reputation. Schottenheimer has taken an active role in burying that trait this summer, keeping practice physicality dialed up and risking extra injuries for the sake of this culture shift. The temptation to play starters and push for the win surely was present but the new coach showed maturity and restraint in his decision to keep those starters bolted to the sideline. It offered fans a glimpse of some terrible football. It showed everyone what he was protecting and illustrated risk without reward is an endeavor best avoided. While this may seem to run contrary to the physical vibe he's transmitting in practices, it shows confidence in himself and the team, and an understanding that all risk is not equal and preseason games offer far more danger than quite possibly any other event on the NFL calendar.

Colorado football lands commitment from class of 2026 in-state offensive lineman
100% Committed 🦬, All glory to god 🙌🏽🙌🏽@Coach_Gunnar @ghegamin @CoachBox6 @DeionSanders @adamgorney @GregBiggins @ChadSimmons_ @BrandonHuffman Colorado football received a commitment from 2026 three-star offensive lineman Josiah Manu on Saturday evening. Manu had been committed to San Jose State since July 1, but Deion Sanders and company worked their magic to flip the in-state recruit. 247Sports ranks the Loveland, Colorado native as the No. 108 offensive tackle and the No. 14 player from his home state of Colorado. Manu's commitment continues Sanders' run of adding depth to a revamped offensive line that looks to be a catalyst for an improved rushing attack. Colorado's 2026 recruiting class now sits at 11 commitments with Manu's flip placing the class at No. 78 overall, but still last in the Big 12. Manu is the first Colorado prospect to commit to the Buffs this recruiting cycle. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.

WATCH: Former Ohio State QB Justin Fields scores first preseason touchdown in Jets uniform
The Justin Fields experiment in New York has officially begun, and it started with Fields showing what has so many Jets fans excited about the prospects of what he could be -- hopefully, consistently. There's no doubting Fields' athletic ability. He's been blessed with more athletic gifts than arguably any quarterback in the league, and he has flashed them on more than one occasion. He nearly broke the single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback with the Bears, and showed glimpses of the light of coming on across the board with the Pittsburgh Steelers before landing in New York as a free agent. On Saturday, he showed that running ability again, this time pulling the ball down on a third and five, to take it 13 yards for a touchdown on his first drive under center in the J-E-T-S green. During the run, he got the corner and used his top-end speed and vision to get to the front corner of the end zone before any Green Bay Packers could get to him. Fields -- understandably so -- didn't play a ton but completed 3-of-4 passes for 42 yards and rushed the ball twice for 14 yards and the one score. Here's to hoping everything finally clicks for the former Ohio State star and we get to see some highlight-reel plays for him this fall.
