How much did your team spend on its roster?
Our staff @TheAthletic spent months and talked to countless people inside and outside of every Power 4 program in search of the answer.

✍️ It turns out Presidential attendance has impacted the comms of several CFB games.
LSU had a plan in case it happened in the 2019 national title game.
@davidubben and I spoke to coaches and a former secret service agent about why this happens:

Can Caitlin Clark just play basketball?
Over 15 days in five cities, and one phone call about her garden, I tried to find out.

Army football at 4 p.m. on a Friday is the equivalent of finding a $100 bill in your pajama pants.

Saturday, a Manning wearing No. 16 will be throwing passes at Neyland Stadium.
But he'll be on the opposing sideline wearing a different shade of orange.
On the split loyalties of Manning Bowls past, present and future.

Just featured it on the broadcast, but I wrote about why Coastal Carolina gives its fans free concessions all game long.
It's awesome.

They must train police and military interrogators on preschoolers with the goal of discerning a single real thing that happened during the day.
An impossible task.

Everybody is tired. Just tired
Miss Lisa has had it. @mrBobbyBones is posting daily videos. People are even mad at Walmart.
Why is Arkansas fans’ anger boiling over just a few games into a new coach’s tenure?

This is fascinating. Makes sense but I did not know this.
"Anytime the President changes locations within the stadium, they cut all communication. They cut your headsets in terms of coach to player communication. So you have to plan for that." -- Steve Sarkisian notes how Donald Trump's attendance on Saturday will affect the on-field game when asked if anything logistically changes with his attendance.

Good story from @Williams_Justin on the hottest trend in college sports investigations: No paper trail.
If a program spending millions to investigate resulting in only an oral report sounds fishy to you, you're not alone. nytimes.com/athletic/7623865…
