Big 12 asks ESPN to stop 'Star Wars' ad with Baylor, TCU players | CBS Sports
ESPN pulled the ad immediately.
Baylor and TCU spokesmen said their schools had no knowledge or involvement in the ESPN piece. The eligibility of the players won't be impacted since they were unaware, Bowlsby said.
ESPN said the following in a statement: “After the Big 12 brought this to our attention, we worked closely with them to resolve the situation."
NCAA rules prohibit college athletes from being paid for use of their name, image or likeness -- an issue that continues to be challenged in federal court through the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit. Athletes are not allowed to endorse any commercial product or service, either expressed or implied.
Breaking down bowl scenarios for TCU | TCU 360
Alamo bowl is most likely.
Based on the current rankings, there is a very good chance the Horned Frogs will end up facing a Pac-12 opponent in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio on Jan. 2. While not a New Year’s Six bowl, the Alamo Bowl is still a highly-respected contest with a rich history.
The case for not changing a damn thing | SB Nation
A really good piece on Iowa and Washington State.
Not changing anything would have been the stupidest call imaginable, signing a contract with mediocrity in the darkest of inks. They'd lost to their in-state rival 20-17, lost to Maryland and to Wisconsin. Minnesota plowed them 51-14. They finished the 2014 season by losing three games in a row, including a humiliating bowl game loss to Tennessee, a team that hadn't won a bowl game since 2007.
