The annual salaries — $5 million for Tom Herman at Texas, up to $4 million for Ed Orgeron from LSU — don’t quite measure up to the record contracts held by Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh or Alabama’s Nick Saban before him. But the sticker prices can still seem rather jarring when placed into the context of widespread spending cuts across academics at many of the schools that commit top dollar to maintain successful athletic departments, or to bail out distressed ones....

That’s because Allen and the Bills were already up by three touchdowns when he threw two scoring passes that didn’t count in the third quarter. He’d already thrown two legal touchdowns and run for two more by that point. Buffalo had to settle for a field goal on the penalty-laden drive, but the game was already well in hand. The Bills went on to win 48-19 and clinch their first AFC East championship in 25 years....

Before the clock even wound down on the game’s worldwide midnight releases, we reported that gamers trying to import their custom appearances from ME1 or ME2 were being greeted with instructions to recreate everything from scratch. Though it’s possible to recapture the same looks of previous games through a good memory and arduous slider tweaking, there will always be the looming fear that your Omar Little scar is offset by a few centimeters....

However, according to BioWare General Manager Aaryn Flynn, the studio might not be entirely finished with Shepard just yet. In a recent exchange, Flynn was asked about the possibilities of an HD re-release of the trilogy on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that could include 1080p resolution and 60-frames-per-second action. Perhaps not entirely surprising, Flynn replied (on Twitter) that internal discussions about a Mass Effect Trilogy HD have happened, and if the team can “put solid plans together,” he’ll share them with us....

Worried that BioWare will become synonymous with only one or two major titles, such as Anthem, the studio is looking at its options.

The first was that crew chief Steve Letarte would leave after this season to join the NBC broadcast team in 2015....

The move is a doubling down of sorts for Pearson, which made a major investment in higher education courseware (HECW) in the United States, but still suffered a five percent drop in revenue in 2018. Pearson funded the transition to digital textbooks, online coursework and subscription models in part with high-profile sales of subsidiary companies like the Financial Times and the Economist. Pearson’s new strategy for speeding adoption of digital textbooks is to stop updating print textbooks, leaving them to grow more obsolete against ebook alternatives....

On Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez was filmed going up the Capitol steps by a man who repeatedly called her his “favorite big booty Latina.” “I love you AOC. You’re my favorite,” the man told the congresswoman before turning to the camera and saying, “She wants to kill babies but she’s still beautiful.” “You look very beautiful in that dress. You look very sexy,” he added. “Look at that booty on AOC, that’s my favorite big booty Latina....
