At midnight, as the calendar switched to July 1 and two of the country’s richest athletic departments joined its most dominant league, college football had officially entered its super-conference era. Unbeaten but somewhat unremarkable this season, Oregon is meanwhile trying to return to the College Football Playoff for the first time in a decade. However, Ohio State versus Oregon in a game that counts not as a non-conference game, or a Rose Bowl matchup on New Year’s Day, but in the Big Ten standings? Their stated aim is to promote more matchups more often between otherwise separated blue-blood programs — games just like Oregon vs. Ohio State. The summit was a reminder that the remaking of college football hasn’t ended.

The football stadium at Florida International University in Miami will bear the name of "Mr. 305" himself, Pitbull. The first-generation Cuban American rapper and producer reached a multiyear deal with one of the nation's largest public universities and Hispanic-serving institutions to have its Riccardo Silva Stadium renamed Pitbull Stadium, FIU announced Tuesday. Under the deal, Pitbull will be referred to as the “Official Entrepreneur of FIU Athletics." His efforts to promote FIU and FIU Athletics will include creating an “FIU Anthem,” leveraging his social media presence and appearing at one athletics fundraising event per year for three hours. The first school opened in Miami in 2012, and today 14 schools in five states serve nearly 10,000 students.
