Per the terms of his contract, Jason Beck is set to be owed up to $10.1 million dollars. That's nearly $7 million in salary and nearly $3.1 in retention bonuses. The contract is subject to off-set and mitigation. It's believed to be the biggest buyout for a college assistant.
Sources: Michigan has fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck.

Coach, the last game of the year might still mean something … this is painful to watch.
Kyle Whittingham on keeping Michigan motivated for its last 3 games: "It's my job as a coach to rally them back up and get them ready to compete for these last three games. ... I don't know, are there any more trophies in these last three games? I don't think there's any more trophies. Anyway..." 🎥 : Michigan Athletics

Bill Belichick is rarely willing to talk about much Patriots-related these days. He made an exception for Rob Gronkowski masslive.com/patriots/2026/1…

This BYU-Utah game has been epic. Big plays. Big hits. Intensity. The physicality of each team makes them dangerous in the playoffs.

Terrific column on a surreal scene - a MAC game played on a weekday afternoon in California.
I have covered hundreds of football games of all shapes and sizes over more than two decades. I've never been to one quite like Toledo at Sacramento State on Wednesday. The Rockets traveled 2,200 miles to play a league game … in California … in the middle of the afternoon … in the middle of the week … in front of approximately 12 fans, give or take a couple thousand. And none of that was the strangest part of a delightfully disorienting trip west ... toledoblade.com/sports/ut/20…
