Several NFL teams made cuts yesterday
NFL teams must get their roster down this week, so several of them are making their final cuts. Unfortunately, some Clemson Football alums have been released, while others got good news.
In Philadelphia, three Tigers were released: Deon Cain, Joseph Ngata and veteran K’von Wallace. Mario Goodrich did make the final 53-man roster for the first time.
So far, so good for Justyn Ross in Kansas City, as he has made the regular season roster for the Chiefs. Cornell Powell did not, and he is hoping to catch on to the practice squad for a third season.

ACC expansion still on hold: Andrea Adelson shared this information on X (Twitter) about ACC expansion talks.
Quick (non) update here on ACC - no current rescheduled presidents call out of respect for what happened at UNC. Jim Phillips is going to Dallas for CFP meetings tomorrow. It is my understanding nobody has flipped yet on adding Cal, Stanford and SMU but talks continue.

Most of the posts I see from insiders suggests that this new expansion plans has enough support to pass, yet Adelson says nobody has changed their vote so far.
ESPN is getting creative: ESPN has announced that they will be showing college football games in theaters.
