FOOTBALL SCHEDULE UPDATES
I know many of you are disappointed with the news that our home-and-home football series with Ohio State is now just one game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington in 2018. For a variety of factors, it was a mutual decision between us and Ohio State and in the best interests of both institutions. As a heads-up, this game will not be part of our season-ticket package that year.
We are excited to announce a new series with Purdue. We'll travel to West Lafayette, Ind., in 2019 with the Boilermakers coming to Amon G. Carter Stadium in 2029. As previously announced, we also have future nonconference games with Arkansas (2017), Cal (2020-21), Colorado (2022-23), Stanford (2024, 2027) and North Carolina (2025-26).

NAME THE MOVIE QUOTE
Last Edition's Answer: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell, played marvelously by Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire, said to his agent, "You tell me to eat lima beans, I'll eat lima beans."
This Week's Question: "Dane Cook, pay--per--view, 20 minutes, let's go!"
COMPLIANCE CORNER
Ocean State University (OSU) is reviewing several options regarding potential awards to the men's basketball team for winning the NIT Championship. Some of the quotes they received include administrative fees such as shipping and handling. Does OSU have to include such costs when determining if the award fits within the NCAA maximum limits?
No. NCAA Staff Interpretation - 2/6/09 - Administrative Fees Associated with Awards (I) - states that administrative fees (e.g., tooling charges, tax, shipping and handling) for awards (e.g., national championship rings) that are separate from the value of the award do not need to be included when calculating the value of the award.
