  • College Football: 150 Years
    COLLEGE FOOTBALL: 150 YEARS n what has been determined to be the first college football game, Rutgers Idefeated Princeton 6-4 on Nov. 6, 1869. The game was nothing like what fans see on the field today as 25 players from each team took the field at the same time to play a game that would be more associated with soccer than modern football. But since 1869, the game has evolved throughout the years, with changes to rules and equipment as well as innovation of how the game is played. Each development has played its role in shaping it into the magnificent sport that is now annually supported by tens of millions of fans. Former BYU head football coach LaVell Edwards spearheaded one of those major developments with his aggressive and innovative passing attack while coaching The college football world is in the midst of celebrating the 150th BYU from 1972-00.

With tens of millions annual fans and more than Fame. 5.33 million people who have played college football since 1869, “Honestly, I don’t think people understand college football has become an integral part of the national landscape. how radical his decision was to commit fully to the passing offense,” said Ivan Maisel, ESPN senior writer and editor-at- large of ESPN College Football 150, at the 2019 BYU Football Media Day.

  • Antitrust As Antiracism
    ANTITRUST AS ANTIRACISM: ANTITRUST AS A PARTIAL CURE FOR SYSTEMIC RACISM (AND OTHER SYSTEMIC “ISMS”) Joshua P. Davis,* Eric L. Cramer,** Reginald L. Streater, Esq.*** & Mark R. Suter*** SYNOPSIS We usually think of antitrust law as addressing violations of free market norms, not equality norms. The two, however, may be related. Systemic racism (and other systemic “isms”) are about power and its abuse. So is antitrust law. Moreover, antitrust may be able to fill gaps left by antidiscrimination law. In particular, antitrust law can address: (1) entire markets, not just individual firms or discrete actions; (2) power imbalances from differences in capital, not just disparities in compensation; (3) financial allocations between owners and workers, not just between workers; (4) legal violations that shrink total worker pay, and do not just distort its allocation. Antitrust law also relies on centrist free market principles. Those may be less controversial than tackling issues of race directly. To be sure, in part for that reason, antitrust laws are limited. They can at best remedy a small portion of the potential wrongs caused by systemic racism. But antitrust may nevertheless contribute valuably to systemic racial equality. It also may provide a model for how antidiscrimination law might be reframed to make it more effective in that regard. * Professor and Director, Center for Law and Ethics, University of San Francisco School of Law. ** Chairman, Berger Montague PC. *** Associate, Berger Montague PC. I. Introduction We usually think of antitrust law as addressing violations of free market norms, not equality norms. The two, however, may be related.

  • PRO FOOTBALL's "WORST to FIRST" by Mark Speck
    THE COFFIN CORNER, Vol. 19, No. 6 (1997) PRO FOOTBALL'S "WORST TO FIRST" By Mark Speck Much has been written the past few years about baseball teams going from worst to first in one season. Teams that eschewed the normal "rebuilding process" to rebound in one year instead of two or three or more. The 1991 Twins and Braves and the 1997 Giants are two of the teams that have done it, rising from last place to a division or league crown in just one season. The question remains, has this phenomenon ever happened in pro football? Have any football teams managed to capture lightning in a jar and rise from the outhouse to the penthouse in one season? The answer is yes (otherwise you wouldn't be reading this article right now). Amazingly, this feat has actually been more prevalent in pro football than in baseball. In the last 30 years, starting with the 1967 Houston Oilers, it has occurred fourteen times. Several franchises have even managed to accomplish the feat more than once. Rebuilding a losing franchise usually takes several years. It took Chuck Noll four years to turn around the Steelers, Weeb Ewbank five years to revive the Jets. Bill Walsh made the 49ers into winners in his third season, Jimmy Johnson his Cowboys the same length of time. But some football teams are a little more impatient, it seems, and turn it around in one season. Some of these resurgences have been one year affairs, where a team has risen to the top and then sank just as fast.

  • Top-Ranked Heavyweights Ngannou and Blaydes Collide to Headline Ufc Beijing on Saturday, November 24
    TOP-RANKED HEAVYWEIGHTS NGANNOU AND BLAYDES COLLIDE TO HEADLINE UFC BEIJING ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24 BEIJING, CHINA – UFC® today confirmed its first-ever event in Beijing, China, will be headlined by top-tier heavyweights, with both men eagerly planning to use this matchup to enter the title contention zone. In a highly anticipated rematch between no. 4-ranked heavyweight Francis Ngannou (11-3, fighting out of Las Vegas, USA) and no. 3-ranked Curtis Blaydes (10-1, fighting out of Chicago, USA), these two standout competitors will be looking to make a statement on Saturday, November 24 at the Cadillac Arena. Tickets for UFC FIGHT NIGHT® BEIJING: NGANNOU vs. BLAYDES, Presented by General Tire, are on-sale now via Damai.cn and 247tickets.com. This will be the second time that “The Predator” Ngannou and “Razor” Blaydes meet inside the world-famous Octagon®, with their first fight ending with Ngannou, a native of Cameroon capturing the victory by TKO after the second round in April 2016. Since this win, Ngannou has decisively won four of his last six fights, with three knockouts and one submission, all in the first round. Two years later, Blaydes has gone on to defeat heavyweight legends including Mark Hunt and former Strikeforce® heavyweight champion and interim DREAM heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem. With a four-fight winning streak powering him, the Chicago standout will be looking to continue his rise to the top and potentially earn his place in front of heavyweight champion and UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. “After our sellout debut in Shanghai last November, we are thrilled to host our second event in Mainland China,” UFC VP of Asia Pacific Kevin Chang said.
