Oklahoma's @OU_Football 1st logo was round font interlocking OU (L) introduced by 1st year coach Jim Mackenzie in '66. He would only coach 1 year as he passed away from a heart attack in '67. OU changed the logo in '67 to a block font (R).#CFBHelmetFact77@UniWatch@PhilHecken pic.twitter.com/f2IYaFN2C5

How's this for strange? If things go as planned, Jake Sanderson will be picked in the NHL Draft during the middle of UND's season-opening game against Bemidji State. Story: https://t.co/HYJLgWPFCY

I'm told the USHL is exploring different scheduling models that keep teams in their geographical areas. I'm sure Force players and staff would dearly miss the Youngstown bus ride, though. https://t.co/M1jsZKafbC

If you want to read what's written into UND, NDSU football and hockey game contracts regarding situations like a pandemic, it's in this story: https://t.co/jcOs7s7h6z
— Brad Elliott Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) July 10, 2020
If college football is entering a 2020 season of conference-only play, imagine what would’ve happened to UND in 2018 or 2019 when it was technically independent. Imagine Big Sky schools going to bat for that flight trip to Grand Forks? No way.

'Act of God' clauses will prevent teams from having to pay guarantees or buyouts for canceled sporting events | Grand Forks Herald https://t.co/OvTL6zUQrI

If you want to read what's in some of these game contract clauses -- there's definitely some interesting wording -- here you go: https://t.co/jcOs7s7h6z
— Brad Elliott Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) July 9, 2020
"Acts of political sabotage," "insurrection," "rebellion," "Acts of God," are among things covered in UND, NDSU game contracts. "Pandemic," isn't specifically, but wording will likely prevent schools from paying guarantees in case of cancellations: https://t.co/jcOs7s7h6z

If there are no football money games in 2020, mixed with the myriad of other higher ed monetary issues, will some athletic departments not survive? I think we could see a new non-Power 5 come out on the other side of this.
— Tom Miller (@tommillergf) July 9, 2020
If the Athletic report is true regarding Big Ten playing conference-only schedule, that would wipe out South Dakota State's money game against Nebraska. UND's is Kansas State, NDSU's is Oregon and USD's is Iowa State.

Well, as I wrote today, it won’t be up to them. FBS calls the shots and the rest trickles down. https://t.co/UN0VT3Ebq4

Sources: The nearly dozen FCS Commissioners held a conference call today. There’s no imminent movement for the rest of the FCS to begin exploring a spring season. A majority of the FCS commissioners are content with status quo for now.

Not yet. But with how quickly everything is changing, I think Brad Berry and Tom Serratore should have each other on speed dial this season. https://t.co/VXDxFBCegO
