The prolonged battle of words involving a content carriage agreement renewal between ABC/Disney and Time Warner Cable, apparently is coming to an end.

Several outlets are reporting that while a formal agreement has not been signed, enough progress has been made so that Time Warner Cable will continue carrying ABC/Disney content after the current agreement expires tomorrow.

The first major college football game to have been potentially impacted by a failure to reach an agreement would have been the USC/Hawaii matchup tomorrow.

Both sides had gone to the airwaves and internet (ABC/Disney with "I Have Choices" and Time Warner with "Roll Over or Get Tough" campaigns) to state their case.

The University of Miami is reportedly in negotiations with the New York Yankees to play a game at Yankee Stadium in 2013.

The Hurricanes have a large alumni base in the northeast, as stated by head coach Randy Shannon.

Of course Miami would not be the first college football team playing at Yankee Stadium. Army will host Notre Dame on November 20, and the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl (a scheduled matchup between Big East and Big XII teams) will take place on December 30. The Black Knights have five games scheduled at Yankee Stadium through 2015, including tilts against Rutgers in 2011 and 2015.

Filed under "In Case You Missed It", Eastern Washington has joined the seemingly northwestern trend of college football programs sporting non-traditional colored turf. As seen on Deadspin, the Eagles' will sport red Sprinturf at Woodward Field.

The change to red was made possible due to a donor contribution, and thus the field will be renamed shortly to Roos Field.

The well known blue turf at Boise's Bronco Stadium was first installed in 1986 and new FieldTurf was installed this offseason after glare/reflection complaints.
