Nebraska legend Osborne giving up his skybox
Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. -- College Football Hall of Fame coach Tom Osborne is giving up his large skybox at Memorial Stadium, saying the Nebraska athletic department should sell it to someone else rather than have him continue to use it for free. Osborne, 80, coached the Cornhuskers for 25 years, retiring after the 1997 season with 255 wins and all or part of three national championships three of his last four years. He was the school's athletic director from 2007-12. "I don't know anyone who is a former administrator who keeps a large skybox," Osborne said Thursday. "That thing seats 25-26 people. That's worth money. I feel the athletic department should be the beneficiary of that box.

Taggart boldly taking on challenge of rebooting Oregon
Willie Taggart realizes he only has the keys to Oregon's football machine because it broke down last season. So while the coach is respectful of the Ducks' history and eager for the opportunity to take charge of a marquee program, Taggart clearly isn't afraid to make any major changes he deems necessary to compete in the Pac-12. "Anytime you come into a new program, changing the culture is probably the biggest thing and the hardest thing to do," Taggart said Thursday during Pac-12 media days in Hollywood. One particular change will catch everyone's eye this fall, although Taggart doesn't consider it to be a big deal: The Ducks — long considered the most fashion-forward football team in the land with their splendid Nike gear — won't wear a new uniform combination every week, the coach said.
