College Football

With only 12 days left until college football returns, let’s remember Roger Staubach from Navy who wore #12.

Naval Academy from 1961-1964

• 1963 Heisman Trophy
• 1963 Maxwell Award
• 1963 Chic Harley Award
• 1963 UPI Player of the Year
• 1963 SN Player of the Year

• Navy Midshipmen No. 12 retired
• 1981 inducted into College Football Hall of Fame

The negotiated resolution between Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and the NCAA over alleged recruiting violations was not approved by the NCAA Committee on Infractions, sources confirmed to ESPN, which leaves the timing of Harbaugh's expected suspension uncertain.

It had been widely expected that the committee would approve a four-game suspension for Harbaugh to start the 2023 season, but that hit roadblocks this week, per sources.

Sources cautioned to ESPN that the next steps are uncertain, and Harbaugh's status to start the season or any potential suspension has yet to be determined. The case could go to a full hearing of the committee or Michigan could attempt to self-impose penalties. This step doesn't mean that Harbaugh has avoided trouble, but rather faces other avenues before he is expected to be punished. A push to a full hearing would mean a resolution wouldn't come for months.

EDIT: This issue has been resolved thanks to the efforts of @headie_sage. Leaving this up for a few more days for visibility.

As we approach the best time of the year, I just wanted to inform everyone of a federation issue between this instance and one of the most popular instances out there. Fanaticus and lemmy.world do not seem to federating correctly which likely will cause a significant number of active Lemmy users to not be able to interact with the communities on Fanaticus and vice versa. Basically, our view of their community is stuck in the past and we will not get to see new posts and comments, and they will not be able to see new posts or comments on Fanaticus.

What our view of their community looks like:

What their community actually shows:

They actually seem pretty active in the last two weeks, so it is unfortunate that most of them will be unable to see and interact with us. I am still hopeful that we can grow and become more active with the start of the season. Our admin is aware of this issue and is in communication with the lemmy.world mods to see if this issue can be resolved but as far as I know we do not have a timeline for resolution yet.

As always, please let me know what ideas you have that you want to see implemented in this community. I’m also still looking for mods for this community and all of the individual team communities.

Though there is no call currently scheduled for the presidents to talk about expansion again, the discussions continue in the hopes that perhaps they can get to 12 "yes" votes, the required number to add teams. Florida State, North Carolina, Clemson and NC State are opposed, a source said, confirming news first reported by Sports Illustrated.

One source described the expansion discussion as being "on life support," two days after ESPN reported the talks among the presidents hit "significant roadblocks" following a call among presidents Wednesday night.

Multiple sources indicated there is no deadline to make any decision for the ACC, and a presidents call could be scheduled at any time. A vote will be taken only if there are enough yes votes. One source believed a decision should have been made during the Wednesday call: "I would imagine that there's not much more for them to discuss. I would think that the next item on the agenda is to make a decision."
