There is a right — and dead wrong — way to announce a contract extension. That was on full display in 2017 when former Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott mismanaged the announcement of his final contract extension.

There’s a movement afoot in college football expansion involving FCS teams that are buying their way into the big time.

Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Are the Trail Blazers trying to move?

Did lawmakers in Washington fumble in a way that hurt Washington State?

I emptied the notebook today.

It’s worth your time…
