The two teams combined for 574 yards of offense and 51 points – more than had been tallied in any four-quarter Penn State game this fall. By scoring last on a lightning 40 second drive that covered 63 yards, the Nittany Lions went to the locker room with a 27-24 halftime lead over the high-octane Wildcats. None of the 40,004 spectators at Ryan Field or the prime-time Big Ten Network television audience could suspect that this high-scoring contest would morph into a defensive standoff in the final 30 minutes. But the key defensive play of the night – a 63- yard return by Lion linebacker Gerald Hodges of an interception that he made of a Dan Persa pass, tipped at the line of scrimmage by Jordan Hill – set the stage for the game’s final score in the fourth minute of the second half. Silas SILAS REDD runs around left end for several of his career-high 164 yards in State's 34-24 win at Northwestern.

NCAA Student Athlete Unionization: NLRB Punts on Northwestern University Football Team George J. Bivens* ABSTRACT The NCAA has established a system through which universities profit tremendously from the athletic careers of student athletes, yet athletes' scholarships do not cover the full cost of attendance., With no guarantee of scholarship retention, young men and women commit long hours to athletic programs, risking both bodily injury and career aspirations. For years, nothing was done to improve conditions for student athletes. Recently, however, both current and former student athletes have begun campaigning for expanded student athletes' rights. In 2013, the Northwestern University football team sought to unionize to gain collective bargaining rights and secure safer and more favorable conditions for student athletes. This Comment initially discusses, the current student athlete unionization movement, which has been led by Kain Colter and Ramogi Huma since 2013. Next, this Comment examines the path of the movement, which began with discussions and protests and moved to the National Labor Relations Board's Chicago Regional Office.

  • College Athletes' Rights in the Age of the Super Conference: the Case of the All Players United Campaign
    Journal of Intercollegiate Sport, 2014, 7, 11-34 http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/jis.2013-0052 www.JIS-Journal.com © 2014 Human Kinetics, Inc. ARTICLE College Athletes’ Rights in the Age of the Super Conference: The Case of the All Players United Campaign Ellen Staurowsky Drexel University Among the most central ethical obligations that higher education in the United States owes to students is the protection of their right to freely disagree, form judgments on their own, and evaluate evidence (AAC&U Board of Directors, 2006). This commentary argues that the ethical obligation to ensure that the academic freedom that should be available to all students is not met when it comes to the treatment of college athletes, most particularly those college athletes participating in the big-time, revenue-generating sports of football and men’s basketball. Using the case example of the All Players United (APU) Campaign, a protest staged by less than two dozen college football players in the fall of 2013, issues associated with athletes right to freedom of speech and freedom of association are examined. The All Players United (APU) campaign is first described followed by an exploration of the group think evidenced in the reaction by college sport officials and football coaches to the APU. To provide context, the APU action is considered within a broader historical overview of college athlete protests and attempts to affect change in the areas of compensation, health and well-being, and educational access. Using a conceptual frame that recognizes that college athletes are recognized as neither workers nor students, difficulties associated with the location of college athletes’ rights are explored.

The conference is again filled with dynamic offenses. This season as a whole, there are plenty of solid teams, but Oklahoma and Texas look to reign supreme. Oklahoma Sooners: The Oklahoma Sooners were blown out in their season finale against Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl last season. With quarterback Landry Jones in the NFL, the quarterback position is wide open between junior Blake Bell, sophomore Kendal Thompson and freshman Trevor Knight. Bell is projected as the starter, but it is unknown what he can bring to the Sooners passing game. In two seasons, Bell was the Sooners goal line specialist and scored 24 career rushing touchdowns. However, he has not thrown for a touchdown. Running back Damien Williams brings experience to the backfield. Williams finished with 976 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Sooners return seven players to its offense, but the defense only brings back four to its unit. The defensive secondary needs a lot of holes to be filled as only junior cornerback Aaron Colvin comes back. Players to watch on offense: QB Blake Bell and RB Damien Williams Players to watch on defense: CB Aaron Colvin and DE Chuka Ndulue 4 Texas Longhorns: To Longhorn fans, last year’s 9-4 record was an ok season, but not a good or great season as it would be for many programs.
