August 26, 2022 News and Notes

• "Directional A&M Sacrificial Lamb To Pay The Bills" strikes again!!  One of a number of waiver games to allow to be played this weekend, Florida A&M was scheduled to play North Carolina tomorrow.  The game should not take place:  27 of Florida A&M's players are not currently NCAA-eligible, leaving them with just seven offensive linemen.
• Florida A&M is going to make $450,000 IF the game takes place.  The entire 2021-22 budget for Florida A&M athletics was, per a budget request, just short of $9,500,000.
• Another is the first Big Ten game of the year:  Northwestern vs. Nebraska...  in Dublin, Ireland!
• Some possible future leaks for LIV Tour defections in the near future:  Marc Leishman, Cameron Trinagle, Anirban Lahiri (more on the Asian Tour, which is already bankrolled by the Saudis), and Harold Varner III.  They did so through an interesting method:  By checking names being used as 25% off codes for tickets to the September 2-4 LIV event in Boston.  Hideki Matsuyama's name, however, DOES NOT work.   
• Two women are suing George Foreman, claiming to have been raped by him in the 1970's.
• The next wave in the death of broadcast television is now being considered:  NBC is now looking to cut the 10-11 PM Eastern/Pacific hour out of prime time and give it to the local stations.  This would cut prime time from three hours a night to two except on Sundays, where it would go from four to three (and, for Sunday, only from about second week of January to first week of September).
