Monday, November 14, 2022 Media Contact: Elizabeth Gosney | CAS Marketing and Communications Manager | 405-744-7497 | [email protected] On Friday, Nov. 18, the Michael and Anne Greenwood School of Music (GSM) will welcome home Oklahoma State University alumnus and Warner Music Nashville Executive Vice President of A&R Scott Hendricks to its Recital Hall. Hendricks plans to pull back the curtain on the country music business and participate in a Q&A session with music industry students and the public. Hendricks will see firsthand the new GSM building and the state-of-the-art Dick and Malinda Berry Fischer Recording Studio. He will also meet with a group of music industry students, where they will share their music with Hendricks during a mock song pitch workshop. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Hendricks graduated from OSU in 1978 with a degree in architectural acoustics. He has produced music for Restless Heart, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Trisha Yearwood, John Michael Montgomery, Faith Hill, Trace Adkins, Dan + Shay, and Blake Shelton. Hendricks has been the CEO and president of the Nashville divisions of both Capital Records and Virgin Records before becoming the Executive VP of A&R for Warner Music Nashville. As of October, Hendricks has produced 121 Top 10 singles, with 78 hitting No. 1. “As a native of Clinton, Oklahoma, and an OSU alumnus, Scott Hendricks will serve as an inspiration to my music industry majors, proving that it is possible to earn success in the music industry,” said Dr. Mark Perry, director of music industry at the GSM. “He will share his story, but will also address the current state of the music industry, which he knows so well.” The Bachelor of Science in Music Industry is relatively new at OSU. The degree serves students interested in careers in music production, music publishing, live entertainment and merchandising. Students take courses in musicianship, music technology and music entrepreneurship, as well as classes related to general business. Music industry majors also have the opportunity to start an MBA program their senior year through the Spears School of Business. “I am so excited for Scott to speak to and meet with my students this semester,” Perry said. “He has excelled at being both a music executive and music producer. Astoundingly, at the same time he remains one of the most successful country music producers in history, still producing number one hits.” For more information about the music industry program at the Greenwood School of Music, visit music.okstate.edu.

Neil Young is a man of many guises, but one that's stuck with him since almost the start of his career has been of the environment-loving hippie. Way back in 1970 he sang, "Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 1970s," predicting a decade of climate turmoil that's only gotten worse since then. His commitment to the planet and its natural habitats hasn't wavered, as he tackled issues big and small on albums like Ragged Glory, Greendale and The Monsanto Yearsover the past five decades. He's been on a pandemic-era roll lately, recording three albums in succession with his longtime, off-and-on backing group Crazy Horse. (He's also been busy cleaning out his archives, dusting off nearly a dozen abandoned studio and concert projects in the same period.) World Record brings together environmental issues, Crazy Horse and another quickly assembled album (i.e., recorded live with no overdubs) that sounds like an extension of both the past few years and Young's entire career. Like 2019's Colorado (which was recorded and released in the months before COVID, but which now seems to be the launching point of Young's latest period) and 2021's Barn, World Record can be messy and often unfocused. But Young and Crazy Horse's allegiance to the material and themselves leads them to do what they've always done best: plugging in, following the leader and having a blast for 45 or so minutes. World Record doesn't go too deep. The opening lines of the album sum up its central message: "Love Earth, such an easy thing to do." Other times, Young declares "You're not alone on this old planet" ("This Old Planet [Changing Days])" and "No more war, only love" ("Walkin' on the Road [To the Future])." They're simple messages, delivered in an unfussy manner by Young, Nils Lofgren, Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot. Producer Rick Rubin rarely gets in their way, though his voice is heard at the start of some songs during setup. Like its past couple of predecessors, World Record is a combination of laid-back acoustic songs and electric numbers, though only the 15-minute "Chevrolet" allows the quartet to truly stretch out like the old days. The album is more single-minded than Colorado and Barn, with the love songs reserved for the planet this time. It's also a looser record: Everyone seems to be feeling their way through the opening "Love Earth" before they settle on something resembling a groove, and "The World (Is in Trouble Now)" adds a wobbly pump organ to the usual Crazy Horse mix. There's casual simplicity to Young's vocals (also wobbly at times) that befits the overall tone of the project. Despite the subject matter, there's little urgency to the songs or performances. The way Young sees it, everyone should already know what's on the line. He's just doing his part to spread the same message he's been advocating for the past 50-plus years.
Hit’n’Mix Ltd, the company responsible for the RipX DeepRemix and DeepAudio has announced DeepCreate, a new RipX module. Here’s what they have to say about it… DeepCreate is a unique, easy-to-use, yet powerful audio system that inspires you to generate original ideas and create music from scratch using any instrument, MIDI/MPE controller, microphone or samples. DeepCreate integrates seamlessly with the DeepRemix stem separation & DeepAudio pro-editing and clean-up workflows. Use alongside your DAW or as a standalone app.
What you see is what you hear and once your music is inside DeepCreate, you won’t need to think about audio and MIDI – they become one, inspiring boundless creativity!
Whether you’re a musician, producer or audio professional – DeepCreate is a cutting-edge audio playground where anything goes. Connect a microphone, instrument, hardware synth or turntable; rip your audio files and favorite VST synth presets; import and auto-assign banks of samples to your MIDI/MPE device; practice and record parts; perform or draw in automation; add groundbreaking, fluid effects, create combos of those effects, and much more.
Better yet – DeepCreate comes preloaded with a variety of hand-picked instruments, percussion, SFX and loops to get you started.
Once your ideas have taken form, either complete your song within DeepCreate, or export the stems to your DAW.
To celebrate, Hit’n’Mix are offering 30% off the entire RipX module range in their Black Friday Sale which runs until 8th December 2022!
As a reminder, Hit’n’Mix invented the revolutionary Rip Audio format, which is as dynamic as MIDI, as well as having the full detail of audio recorded using microphone and other sources. All music, whether performed using a MIDI keyboard, MPE controller or ripped from an existing track ends up as Rip Audio in DeepCreate. This means that all DeepCreate effects and sounds can be applied to any sound, regardless of its source. What’s more, as Rip Audio works off the key ingredients of sound, such as pitch and timbre, it requires little audio processing to apply complex and dynamic effects, and it’s even possible to audition and see detailed changes to music on screen, before hitting play.
Martin Dawe, Hit’n’Mix CEO and the creator of RipX comments:
“After a few attempts at creating techno music when I was 14, I always wanted to get into music production, but frustratingly never found the time: I’ve run companies most of my life and, despite my technical background, I always found existing audio apps took too long to learn. For some time I’ve wondered whether a more intuitive system could be developed, based upon the Rip Audio format I created. Something more instinctual that could be used to write a complete song, but without complicated distractions or features hidden deep inside submenus. Something that felt like it was a companion rather than a workstation, that inspired experimentation and deep creativity. “I’d like to introduce you to DeepCreate, the newest addition to our RipX Future Audio Platform, based on the Rip Audio format.”
RipX DeepCreate makes it possible to
RipX DeepCreate comes bundled with the DeepRemix module. Add-on the pro DeepAudio module for precision audio editing, and clean-up tools.

50th anniversary retrospective: Morris Library will commemorate the 1972 production of Scott Joplin’s opera “Treemonisha” (shown here) on Nov. 16 in the library’s John C. Guyon Auditorium. (Photo provided by Morris Library Special Collections Research Center) November 14, 2022 by Pete Rosenbery CARBONDALE, Ill. — Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Morris Library will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the university’s 1972 production of the Scott Joplin opera “Treemonisha” on Wednesday, Nov. 16. The celebration in the library’s John C. Guyon Auditorium will feature a panel discussion both in person and via Zoom from several participants involved with the original production. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with a panel of performers from the 1972 production discussing the historical importance of the opera and SIU’s production of it. The panel will be moderated by Dr. London Branch, who was chorusmaster and conductor of SIU’s production while an instructor in the university’s School of Music. Branch is a professor emeritus in music at Jackson State University. The program is free and the open to the public. Following the lecture, the reception will feature live jazz by SIU music students. “Treemonisha” was composer Joplin’s third stage work. Written in 1911 but not staged until 1972, first in Atlanta and then the Wolf Trap Opera in Washington, D.C., the Midwest premiere came in two performances at SIU Carbondale on Nov. 17-18, 1972. The performance staged by SIU’s Marjorie Lawrence Opera Theatre featured an all-Black cast of SIU and local singers and the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe, said Walter D. Ray, political papers archivist with the library’s Special Collections Research Center. Ray said according to Branch, staging the opera at SIU Carbondale showed that “a then-conservative music department with the support of the community could produce an opera by an important composer who had been overlooked because of the kind of music he played. ‘Ragtime’ had no respect at that time, especially in the academic community. The opera moved SIU and the music department to become more inclusive.” Joplin, who died in 1917, posthumously earned a 1976 Pulitzer Prize in special citations and awards for his contributions to American music. In addition to Branch, the audience will hear from JoAnn Hawkins White, who played the title role, and Ruby Streate, director of dance of the Katherine Dunham Centers for Arts and Humanities. Wilfred Delphin, rehearsal pianist in 1972 and one-half of the internationally renowned piano duo Delphin and Romaine, and Kay Pace, who was responsible for recruiting singers from the local community, will also participate by Zoom. Several other performers from the 1972 production, Michael Dixon (Zodzetrick); David Thomas, (Ned); Clarence Carter, (Remus), along with Larry Melton, founder of the Sedalia Ragtime Festival and an expert on Joplin who attended the Midwestern premiere of Treemonisha, will also participate virtually. White and Streate will perform music and dance numbers for the commemoration. 10/11/2022 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM View Description Date: 10/11/2022 Time: 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM Location: SCS Donation Box

Tesla Tesla is a transnational American automotive and clean energy company. The company develops and produces electric vehicles (cars and trucks), residential and grid-scale battery energy storage, solar panels, solar roof tiles, and other goods and services. With a market value of more than $840 billion, Tesla is one of the most valuable companies in the world. Tesla The firm sold the most battery-electric and plug-in electric vehicles globally in 2021, accounting for 21 percent of the battery-electric (purely electric) market and 14 percent of the plug-in market (which includes plug-in hybrids) that year. (China's BYD Auto overtook Tesla in Q2 of 2022 to become the top-selling EV brand globally.) Tesla also creates and installs a significant amount of photovoltaic systems in the U.S. through its subsidiary Tesla Energy. With 3.99 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of deployed battery energy storage systems in 2021, Tesla Energy is also among the biggest suppliers of such systems globally. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning established Tesla Motors in July 2003. Nikola Tesla, an inventor and electrical engineer is honored in the corporate name. With a $6.5 million investment in February 2004, Elon Musk rose to become the company's largest shareholder. He assumed the position of CEO in 2008. Musk claims that Tesla's goal is to hasten the transition to environmentally friendly energy and transportation, using solar energy and electric vehicles as the primary sources. The Roadster sports car, Tesla's first vehicle model, was released in 2008. The Model S sedan arrived in 2012, the Model X SUV appeared in 2015, the Model 3 sedan appeared in 2017, and the Model Y crossover appeared in 2020. The Model 3 was the first electric vehicle to sell one million units globally, becoming the all-time best-selling plug-in electric vehicle in June 2021. Tesla sold 936,222 vehicles globally in 2021, a growth of 87 percent over the previous year. As of August 2022, the company has sold a total of 3 million vehicles. In October 2021, Tesla became the sixth corporation in American history to have a market valuation of $1 trillion and the second fastest company to hit the $1 trillion mark. Tesla has been the subject of many lawsuits, recalls, government scrutiny, and public controversies arising from statements and actions of CEO Elon Musk and allegations of creative accounting, whistleblower retaliation, worker rights violations, and unresolved and dangerous technical problems with their products. Tesla currently operates 19 factories, including five Gigafactories, with one in China and another in Germany. The Tesla Fremont Factory, formerly the NUMMI facility in Fremont, California, is now home to a Tesla assembly facility. General Motors initially opened the facility in 1962, and from 1984 GM and Toyota jointly controlled it. Tesla bought the old factory the same year it shuttered its doors, in 2010. Nevada saw the opening of its first significant battery manufacturing facility in 2016. Powerwalls, Powerpacks, and Megapacks, battery cells made in collaboration with Panasonic, and Model 3 battery packs and drivetrains are all produced at the Gigafactory Nevada (formerly known as Gigafactory 1). In exchange for opening in their territory, the municipal and state governments provided the factory with large subsidies that made it tax-free for Tesla to operate for ten years. Tesla chose Austin, Texas, on July 23, 2020, as the location for Gigafactory 5, currently known as Gigafactory Texas. Giga Texas will serve as the primary factory for the Tesla Cybertruck and Tesla Semi and the production of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles for the Eastern United States. Tesla held its Cyber Rodeo event on April 7, 2022, to commemorate the official launch of the Giga Texas project, which around 15,000 guests attended. In 2021, Tesla purchased a former JC Penney distribution facility close to Lathrop, California, with plans to construct a Megafactory to produce Megapacks. The facility, which started operations in 2022, manufactures next-generation Megapacks that use prismatic lithium iron phosphate batteries. Tesla announced its plans to build a car and battery factory in Europe in 2016. Several countries campaigned to be the host, and eventually, Germany was chosen in November 2019. On March 22, 2022, Tesla's first European Gigafactory, named Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, opened with a planned capacity to produce 500,000 electric vehicles annually, along with car batteries. In July 2018, Tesla signed an agreement with Chinese authorities to build a factory in Shanghai, China, which was Tesla's first Gigafactory outside the United States. The factory building was finished in August 2019, and the initial Tesla Model 3s were in production from Giga Shanghai in October 2019. Tesla In 2021, China accounted for 26 percent of Tesla's sales revenue and was the second largest market for Tesla after the United States, which accounted for 45 percent of its sales. Tesla currently offers Model 3, Model S, and Model X. But the company is accepting reservations for its Roadster, Cybertruck, and Semi models. Like all other electric vehicles (EV), Tesla vehicles use rechargeable batteries to store electricity pulled from the grid and drive an electric motor that moves the wheels. Electric automobiles can feel very responsive to drive because they generally accelerate faster than conventional fuel engines. There are several distinct types of EVs. Pure electric vehicles are those that use only electricity to operate. Additionally, hybrid electric vehicles can also be powered using gasoline or diesel to charge the battery. Plug-in electric vehicles use only electricity and obtain all their power from being charged from the grid. This type of vehicle doesn't emit pollution like typical cars because it doesn't require gasoline or diesel —although the electricity itself may be generated from non-renewable sources, leading to carbon emissions. Plug-in hybrids: These vehicles primarily run on electricity but also contain a conventional fuel engine, allowing you to switch to gasoline or diesel if the battery runs out. The difference with hybrids is that they only switch to the engine if the battery is low, whereas hybrids constantly switch back and forth. These vehicles emit emissions when they are running on fuel but not when they are running on electricity. Plug-in hybrids can be plugged into the grid to recharge their battery. Tesla has established itself as a household name by providing luxury, cutting-edge technology, exceptional range, and a secure charging network. Tesla makes up about two out of every three electric automobiles sold in the U.S. With more EVs coming onto the market every year, why should you get one? Technology is a hallmark of Tesla vehicles. One of the first things you'll notice when you step into a Tesla is the sizable touchscreen on the dashboard. In fact, the vehicle is designed so that everything can be operated from this screen. You may operate the HVAC infotainment system and even browse the internet or stream your preferred music and television programs from this screen. The absence of buttons and knobs gives Tesla interiors a sleek appearance. Additionally, many features, including the windows, horn, valet mode, lock, and car tracking, can be managed from your smartphone. New Teslas also come equipped with Autopilot — "an advanced driver assistance system that enhances safety and convenience behind the wheel." The system is intended to reduce the overall workload for drivers. Autopilot can also come with full self-driving capabilities, but using the full self-driving feature is currently illegal in many places, and all drivers are reminded that they need to keep their hands on the wheel and maintain control of the vehicle at all times.

Football Night also paid tribute to military veterans throughout the show in honor of Veterans Day. Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), Melissa Stark (sideline reporter) and Terry McAulay (rules analyst) are calling tonight’s game. Tirico also reported from the field during FNIA. *** Following are highlights from tonight’s edition of Football Night in America on NBC and Peacock: ON 49ERS Harrison on S Talanoa Hufanga: “No matter where you put him, he’s going to make plays, but when he’s in the box, I love him because he’s very aggressive, he makes up his mind and he goes 100 miles per hour…we talk about Derwin James being an All-Pro safety, this kid is playing like he’s the best safety in the National Football League.” Garrett on RB Christian McCaffrey: “I love the trade for Christian. I love Christian’s versatility. But what I love most about him though is I love him as a running back first…He’s a great runner first.” Simms: “Yes he is, but he’s not a one-trick pony. He can run routes like a wide receiver.” ON CHARGERS Harrison on S Derwin James: “I’m really looking forward to that matchup against George Kittle. They paid (James) a lot of money. This is a matchup he has to win.” ON VIKINGS-BILLS Simms: “That might have been the game of the year.” Dungy on the Bills’ second half play: “For Buffalo, this has continued a trend of poor second-half play — leaky run defense in the second half, Josh Allen with bad decisions…just not playing good ball. They’ve been outscored 43-12 in the second half of their last three games. They’ve got to get that fixed.” Simms on Justin Jefferson’s spectacular catch on 4th-and-18: “This is the catch of the year; maybe the best catch we have seen since OBJ (Odell Beckham Jr.)…Greatest catch of the year. Give him the award now.” Garrett on the Vikings’ comeback win over the Bills: “They are the Cardiac Kids. What was impressive to me about this game was they’re down 17 in the third quarter against a team that’s arguably one of the best in the league at their place…they’re poised, they’re calm, they’re composed. More than anything else, they believe they’re going to do it.” Garrett on Bills QB Josh Allen and Buffalo’s offense: “I feel like when they lose, he’s carrying too big a burden. When they spread it around and get everybody involved and get that running game going, that’s when they play their best football.” Florio spoke to Vikings CB Patrick Peterson post-game. ON COLTS Dungy on Colts hiring former NFL player Jeff Saturday as interim head coach with no NFL or college coaching experience: “I couldn’t believe it. I was shocked about the whole thing. I was shocked about Frank Reich getting fired. To me, I hate to see that as a former coach. I wanted Frank to be able to pull the team out of this, but (Colts owner) Jim Irsay made a decision. Once he does that, what’s the best thing to do? Not for the long haul, not for the next 10 years, but to win eight games here, and he thought Jeff Saturday. He knows Jeff. He’s a leader, he would galvanize the room, he would get the offensive line going, and that’s exactly what he did.” Garrett: “Everyone in Indianapolis has a great feel for this guy. He’s never coached in the NFL, but to me the odd thing happened about a month ago. ‘Matt Ryan is not going to be our quarterback, and oh by the way, he’s not going to be our quarterback for the rest of the year.’ All of a sudden, the credibility among the coaches, the credibility in the locker room starts to change a little bit, like, ‘Hey, what are we trying to do here? Are we trying to win?’ So, then you make the move with the offensive coordinator and then the head coach. The biggest thing that Jeff can do is bring some energy in there and get Matt Ryan back in there, Jonathan Taylor back. They were the featured players today. It was a big win today.” Dungy: “They looked like a completely different offense today.” Dungy on if Saturday’s hiring will influence future NFL head coaching searches: “I don’t think this should have any bearing on how things are done in the future. This was a very, very unusual situation. You’re making a decision in a 24-hour period…This isn’t long-term hiring. I know this: Jim Irsay knew exactly what he was looking for. He was looking for a leader. He was looking for someone who could galvanize people and somebody who could help his offensive line. Jeff Saturday was the best guy for the job right now.” ON BUCCANEERS Tom Brady to Peter King on the Buccaneers’ win over the Seahawks in Germany: “I thought we ran the ball well and some play-action passes worked off of that. When you run it well, you don’t have to be in drop-back protections all day and put too much stress on the passing game. You don’t want to be one-dimensional, and we’ve been one-dimensional too many times this year. The fact that we didn’t have as many pass attempts, I love. The fact that we ran some play action, I love. Guys made plenty of big plays in the pass game and I still think we have more out there to get to.” Brady to King: “I’ve played a lot. I’ve overcome a lot of different things in 23 years — injuries, things off the field, things on the field. We all have our challenges. Everyone might think, ‘Oh, things are pretty easy for Tom’ or whoever, but we all have our unique challenges and I’m trying to do the best I can do every day. My teammates have had great support and I just want to try and be the best I can be for them and certainly be the best I can be for my family and children. I look forward to spending the week with them.” Garrett on Brady’s attitude: “That image of Brady last week hugging Byron Leftwich’s neck after they secured the win over the Rams. This guy’s won seven Super Bowls. How many playoff games? You look at that moment and he was as emotional as I’ve ever seen him. The spring in the step, the way he played, the way they looked today – a lot of confidence.” Simms on the Buccaneers’ win over the Seahawks: “(Brady) looked great today. He was accurate, they pushed the ball down the field. The big thing, too, that ties this all together: the Bucs’ defense is healthy. Akiem Hicks is back. Sean Murphy-Bunting is back. Carlton Davis is healthy. Antoine Winfield (Jr.) is healthy. If they run the ball with that defense, I think they can win a lot of games. That Seattle offense has been making plays with everybody and it didn’t happen easily today.” ON CHIEFS Dungy on Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney: “Kadarius (Toney) was more involved. He’s going to be a big factor down the stretch.” Garrett on the Chiefs’ offense: “They got a master orchestrating it. Andy (Reid) is fantastic, Eric (Bieniemy) is fantastic. Patrick (Mahomes) helps, and then he gets these other guys going and they’re hard to stop.” ON GIANTS Garrett: “The G-men are rolling…(Saquon Barkley) has been fantastic. He’s back. He’s healthy. Brian Daboll is doing a heck of a job with the Giants.” ON DOLPHINS Simms on the Dolphins offense: “You can’t stop this. They have everything. (Mike) McDaniel is as creative as it gets, and then with the weapons and Tua (Tagovailoa) making smart decisions and making a play every now and then, they’re fun to watch.” Taylor: “It’s like they’re playing on hardwood. Fastbreak all the time. Run-and-gun offense. It’s impressive.” ON PACKERS Simms on the Packers’ win over the Cowboys: “What we had today was an emergence of a downfield passing game in Green Bay. Their offense was explosive. (Aaron) Rodgers, 14 completions for over 220 yards. Dink-and-dunk offense, see you later…don’t count them out yet with number 12 at QB.” Garrett on Aaron Rodgers’ performance in Green Bay’s win over Dallas: “Rodgers, just like Brady, making his last stand. The pride and competitive nature of these guys is showing through…They threw the ball down the field and that was the difference today.” ON RAMS Florio on Rams WR Cooper Kupp’s ankle injury sustained in the Rams’ loss to the Cardinals: “It doesn’t look great right now. They’re still waiting to find out more, but if he misses time, look for Van Jefferson to be among the Rams to get more opportunities.” ON STEELERS Dungy on the return of LB T.J. Watt: “He made a difference today. That defense was energized, they played well, and those young guys made plays in the back.” ON LIONS-BEARS Dungy on controversial hands-to-the-face penalty by Bears: “Instead of having the ball with a two-score lead, Detroit now takes it in and scores and makes it a one-score game. That was just a critical, critical error on the officials.” Simms on Bears QB Justin Fields: “He’s special. He’s arguably the best running quarterback in football right now. I think he has surpassed Lamar Jackson.” *** BIG TEN COMMISSIONER KEVIN WARREN INTERVIEW WITH MARIA TAYLOR AND TONY DUNGY Warren on the Big Ten’s seven-year media rights agreement with NBC: “Pure excitement. When you have an opportunity to have a partnership with NBC and Peacock, this is family. We’re so excited to bring the Big Ten to NBC and do great things and have an opportunity to amplify our incredible student-athletes.” Warren on the addition of USC and UCLA to the Big Ten: “One of the things we’ve done is recognize the fact that we’re doing everything we can to integrate USC and UCLA into the conference. Now we’re in the three largest media markets being in L.A. (Los Angeles), Chicago, and also New York. We’re excited but we’re also excited from an academic standpoint. UCLA and USC are great brands, they have great alumni, they’re strong academically, they’re strong athletically and, surprisingly, a lot of our graduates who go to work outside of the Midwest, the number one location is in southern California. We’re looking forward to really amplifying our partnership.” Warren on the Big Ten’s football performance this fall: “I’ve been able to see all our teams play in person. We have some incredible football teams, incredible student-athletes, but to have two teams in the top four of the College Football Playoff rankings right now is special. Every week they continually need to focus on doing better, but I am excited about where we are as a conference, not only from football, but basketball season has started, a lot of our Olympic sports. I know Maria (Taylor), you were a volleyball student-athlete, and we have great volleyball in the Big Ten, the best conference there. I think these next couple months are going to be exciting and to see what happens with Ohio State and Michigan (football) as we come down the stretch.”
