A great read in today’s USA Today about increased athletic spending as a result of football success at D-1 universities.
Ok, so maybe I’m only recommending it because Missouri’s the focus. But still, read it.

Two of the most powerful programs of the last 15 years meet today in Lawrence, Kansas. Since 1988, they have five National Championships between them.
Wait… That’s in basketball.
Nevermind.

Consider this my highlight of the games that are of some general interest (all kick times EST):
Tonight
South Carolina at NC State: 7:00 kick on ESPN. The Gamecocks rolled NC State a year ago, 34-0. Does NC State have any pride? Or talent?
#16 Oregon at #14 Boise: 10:15 kick on ESPN. Interesting for obvious reasons. BCS implications to boot.
Saturday
Navy at Ohio State: 12:00 kick. Ohio State lost a bunch of talent, and Navy is a scheme problem. This may be much closer than anticipated.
Minnesota at Syracuse: 12:00 kick. Greg Paulus’ debut.
Western Kentucky at Tennessee: 12:21 kick. Lane Kiffin’s debut.
Western Michigan at Michigan: 3:30 kick. Interesting for practice-gate reasons. And whatever rally-around-Rich feelings are bubbling in Ann Arbor which would go away in an instant should Western win this game.
Georgia at Oklahoma State: 3:30 kick. High flying Big 12 offense against SEC defense. And #13 vs. #9.
Nevada at Notre Dame: 3:30 kick. For Weis on hot seat reasons should ND trip up—ND comes in pre-season #23.
Missouri at Illinois: 3:40 kick. Big 12 vs. Big 10 with the can-Missouri-reload question.
BYU at Oklahoma: 7:00 kick. #20 vs. #3…but I think BYU gets rolled. And the Sam Bradford Heisman campaign gets underway.
Alabama “at” Va Tech (Georgia Dome): 8:00 kick. #5 vs. #7.
Maryland at Cal: 10:00 kick. ACC predicted also ran vs. Pac 10 power. Maryland beat Cal in College Park a year ago. Should be a decidedly different outcome this time around. If not, lower Cal a ton in your mental rankings.
Sunday
Ole Miss at Memphis: 3:30 kick. Is #8 Ole Miss for real? If so, they should roll Memphis.
Monday
UC at Rutgers: 4:00 kick. Big East game between two good teams, recall UC was the Big East champ a year ago.
Miami Fla at Florida State: 8:00 kick. Traditional rivalry game. FSU ranked 18. I remember when “wide right” had meaning. It has been awhile.
