North Carolina and Bill Belichick say they are still both “fully committed” to each other after a report that the two sides are discussing a potential exit for the Hall of Fame coach from the school after a disastrous 2–3 start to the season. Belichick’s first three years of his five-year, $50 million contract are fully guaranteed, so FOS college sports reporter Amanda Christovich explains what the buyout options for the Tar Heels are if they decide to move on.

Also, you’ve probably seen his ads during college football games on Saturdays, but Texas Tech booster and oil billionaire Cody Campbell says he is on a mission to save college athletics by lobbying Congress against the NCAA-backed SCORE Act that would create a standardized, national framework for NIL (name, image, and likeness) rights.

Brown following the team’s offensive struggles.
