While college football fans in the US have been in the doldrums of May, Japan’s college football teams are playing their spring exhibition schedule to get younger players reps in game conditions.

The SEC is ending its traditional "cupcake weekend" in final weeks of the regular season starting in 2027.

Turkish basketball?! 🇹🇷🏀

As expected, an arbitrator sided with the College Sports Commission's rejection of NIL deals for Nebraska players. The players can challenge the decision in court, but what angles could they use how likely are they to succeed? Prof. Michael McCann breaks it down: www.sportico.com/law/analysis...

Which will happen first: • opening the Strait of Hormuz • USC & Notre Dame scheduling each other again

This is why we’re not on Canvas 😅

Syracuse & Wake Forest to play Week 0 game in Toronto ahead of the 2027 season. Unlike the old International Bowl, it won’t be in SkyDome but will be the first NCAA football game played at outdoor CFL/MLS BMO Field, which is getting upgrades for 2026 FIFA World Cup. theacc.com/news/2026/5/...

Happy #EdBallsDay to those who celebrate:

With over 200 CFB teams in Japan, with programs dating back to the 1930s... good market to look for talent. Oregon played USC in Tokyo in 1985. (think: club teams aimed at making life/biz connections showing you can work in a team -- but some of them have raw talent)

Here’s how many picks each team got at this year’s NFL Draft.

The open to work is removed!

D3 Anna Maria College (Amcats, only school using their acronym as a nickname) announces it is shutting down after this semester. The small Catholic institution in Worcester County, MA began as a women's college in 1946, became coed in 1975, and added football in 2009.

The SWAC will no longer play non-conference games against teams outside NCAA D1 / D2. Last year teams had 1 NAIA opponent, and 5 games against Lincoln (CA) or Virginia-Lynchburg (both outside NCAA/NAIA). www.pbcommercial.com/swac-commiss...

They updated the CFP logo:

Hopefully Kentucky State gets to play this in The Bahamas: Last season they were supposed to play the inaugural Caribbean HBCU Puerto Rico Bowl in Mayagüez (west coast of PR) against a non-HBCU, but on game week they had to move it to Franklin Pierce's stadium in New Hampshire.

They should up the ante next year and have the winners all play each other!

The Iron Bowl on wheels will be played for a National Championship this afternoon.

College football can be “fixed” with legislation. #AprilFools

It turned out to be a historic football day in Paimio. UTU QB Justus Virtanen scrambled for the go ahead TD with 17 seconds left, and Beaver Hunters defense fended off the final Wasa attempts, to hand Dogs their first defeat since 2019.

You are once again looking live at KHT Soikka field in Paimio, Finland, site for what we're confident would be a #1 vs. #2 matchup if FCAA did midseason rankings. Defending champions 2-0 Wasa Dogs visiting the 2-0 UTU Beaver Hunters.

Screw it, ditched the paywall on this one because everyone deserves to know the truth about Mr. Worldwide. www.foiaball.com/p/pitbull-fi...

Uber sucks here…

That feeling when the season is about to kickoff again.

If you’re interested in nuanced, clear-headed looks at legal issues facing college sports, we recommend giving Prof. Michael McCann a follow and his pieces for Sportico:

The contest was really never in doubt, as UTU ran away from NDU early. Good clean game with some big hits. Quick field repairs were needed for the field equipment as well.

You are looking live at Santahamina in Helsinki, Finland, home of the Finnish National Defense University, where NDU Black Knights prepare to host the UTU Beaver Hunters for both teams' second game of the season.

College Football gifts you an hour of sleep in the heart of the season. College Basketball steals one from you. These are facts. 🤷

We need fans to take some of these permissible instruments to the absolute extremes. Imagine a section of hundreds of trumpets and trombones. 🎺🎺🎺

It's time for handshakes, UTU cruises to a 52-0 win over Aalto. The two-month season is underway.

Justus Virtanen connects with Juho Killström for the first score of the season. UTU is up 27-0 at halftime as Aalto has struggled to move the ball.

You are looking live at KHT Soikka field in Paimio, Finland, where UTU Beaver Hunters host Aalto Predators in the opening game of the FCAA American Football season. The league has also been known as College Football Finland, now for the second year under the FCAA banner.

Did not appreciate how far newly launched FCS independent Chicago State is from their stadium in Bridgeview. The school has financially struggled for years and added football that starts this fall:
