Hope it's soon, I'm ready for a new Jersey... still rocking the old Adidas one because I never liked the design of the UA ones

I am not sure you would be ready for New Jersey.

Ok, so yesterday Dennis Dodd published this : https://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...-media-rights/

Every other sports college football writer on the planet called BS on it and stated that it's incorrect. At this point you have to think Dodd is a completely unreliable reporter or has a bad source for this info, or CBS has him throwing things out there on an agenda. Who really knows.

On the flip side you have Stewart Mandel who is still carrying water for the PAC 12 based on his recent articles.
