Welcome to International Stand Up to Bullying Day!

International STAND UP to Bullying Day is a special semi-annual event in which participants sign and wear a pink “pledge shirt” to take a visible, public stance against bullying. The event takes place in schools, workplaces, and organizations in 25 countries around the globe on the third Friday of November to coincide with Anti-bullying week, and then again on the last Friday of February.

Bernie Custis, widely considered to be the first black quarterback in modern professional football, died on Thursday. He was 88.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the team with which he made his pro debut in what became the Canadian Football League, announced his death but did not say where he had died or specify the cause.

Custis became a starter with the Tiger-Cats on Aug. 29, 1951. He had been a star quarterback with Syracuse University and was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 1951 National Football League draft.

Told he would play safety with the Browns, he resisted the move and opted to sign with Hamilton. He started every game at quarterback in his first season. Fritz Pollard, a halfback who was black, took some N.F.L. snaps at quarterback in the 1920s.

Custis moved to running back the next season and in 1953 helped Hamilton win the Grey Cup championship game, 12-6 over Winnipeg. Custis finished his pro career as a running back with the Ottawa Rough Riders in the 1955-56 season.

Revenue projections are starting to come to light for when the ACC Network launches in 2019.

Florida State athletic director Stan Wilcox told the school's board of trustees Wednesday that the conference anticipates a revenue increase of $8-10 million per school in 2019-20 and as much as $15 million in future years, according to a report by Noles247.

It's important to remember these are projections, and actual payouts will largely be based on distribution through cable companies and satellite providers. That remains difficult to predict given the changing viewing habits of customers.

The ACC viewed the creation of the linear channel as a solution to closing the revenue gap that exists between the Big Ten, SEC and the other three Power Five leagues.

Cultivating additional revenue streams is vital in an enterprise as competitive as college athletics, where success is largely determined by your school's ability to attract the best athletes in the nation.

The revenue jump will allow Syracuse and the other 14 schools (including Notre Dame) to pay competitive coaching salaries, make additional staffing hires and upgrade facilities.
