Dr Pepper has been the official sponsor of college football going on 10 years. The soda company has released its season 7 promo video for ‘Fansville’. The minute-long video talks about all the new things in college football. The video begins by stating the 12-team Playoff is about to begin.
Then it transitions to a fan being heartbroken that ‘someone is stealing their signs’ which pokes fun at Michigan’s sign-stealing saga involving former Michigan staffer, Connor Stalions.
There are plenty of other references in the video. Texas’ starting quarterback Quinn Ewers will be among the stars of Fansville — he is the new Deputy. The commercial also shows fans playing a highly-anticipated video game, which is presummingly College Football 25. Fans are eagerly boarding the ‘hype train’ before it derails, etc.
You can watch the entire video below:
The sign-stealing scandal is an ongoing investigation for the University of Michigan. Stalions, who resigned from Michigan, is now a defensive coordinator in the high school ranks. He is set to have a documentary on Netflix releasing on August 27 potentially sharing his side of the story.
The NCAA has yet to hand Michigan an official Notice of Allegations letter but that’s expected to be handed down anytime now. The Wolverines then have time to respond and this could go on for another year before we know any official punishment facing Michigan.
Former coach Jim Harbaugh has been handed a four-year show cause including a one-year suspension if he chose to return to college football. But being in the NFL, it’s a slim to none chance Harbaugh ever returns to college football.

Michigan State Football Names Captains For 2024 Season
![Michigan State Football Names Captains For 2024 Season Michigan State Football Names Captains For 2024 Season](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_2400,h_1350,x_0,y_43/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/spartan_nation/01j5pjxhv6bzc7sqkax0.jpg)
Michigan State football is readying for its opening contest in Spartan Stadium against Florida Atlantic, which is arriving fast.
Fall camp has been a successful one for Coach Jonathan Smith, whose staff has implemented new systems on each side of the ball, as well as evaluated the mixture of returning talent and transfer portal grabs.
Michigan State recently announced its five captains for the 2024 season — quarterback Aidan Chiles, running back Nate Carter, center Tanner Miller, linebacker Jordan Turner and defensive lineman Maverick Hansen.
Chiles’ naming as a team captain is significant for many reasons. Chiles, still just 18 years old, is young even by true sophomore standards. He also hasn’t played a starting rep as a college quarterback, let alone for the Spartans.
Chiles was the presumed starter ever since his highly anticipated East Lansing arrival in December. All of the attention has been on the young signal-caller, and he has looked the part so far and even showed signs of it as a true freshman earning reps at Oregon State. Chiles has a lively arm and he is a big-time threat running the ball. He can get yards or extend plays.
Carter will get the majority of the carries this season alongside transfer back Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams. Carter was the Spartans’ leading rusher last season (he started all 12 games) and he is looking to take another step with an improved offense around him.
Carter is the right kind of running back for offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren and running backs coach Keith Bhonapha. He can receive out of the backfield, block, has good vision as a runner, and most importantly, he falls forward.
Miller was another big transfer addition that followed Smith from Corvallis. Miller received some All-American recognition last season and was a first-team All-Pac 12 selection. He will be the most experienced player on the offensive line and its heartbeat as the center.
Turner is will likely take over the Spartans defense as the Mike linebacker in Joe Rossi’s scheme. Turner has received praise for his physical playstyle and his feel for the game has earned him the honor of wearing Rossi’s mic’ed up helmet during some practices. Rossi said it will be more of a player-based decision than a position-based one. Turner might just be the player to have earned it.
Hansen has played in 41 career games and made eight starts in his five seasons at Michigan State. He is a vocal veteran, so it is no surprise that Hansen earned his captaincy.

Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow tried to throw the book at Donald Trump — literally hoisting an oversized copy of “Project 2025” onto the lectern and quoting from portions of it.
It was prop comedy on one of the highest political stages.

“So we read it,” McMorrow said. “Whatever you think it might be, it is so much worse.”
Trump, the former president, has publicly disavowed any interest in the policies outlined in Project 2025, but it’s a blueprint for a second Trump term that was put together by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
McMorrow said the ideas in the text would enable Trump to be a dictator who could fire civil servants and use the Justice Department to investigate political opponents.

Michigan could see over $100 million in opioid settlement money this year

(CBS DETROIT) – Michigan could see more than $100 million from opioid settlement payments in 2024, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Advocates say that this year’s lump sum payment could be so big because multiple settlements are coming down the pike. Kroger, McKinsey and Walgreens are just a few of the companies with settlements coming to Michigan.
“Some of the most important spending has been increasing naloxone distribution; that’s the overdose reversal medication,” said Jonathan Soltman, the director of the Opioid Policy Institute. “Trying to target high-risk communities and make sure that we get more of that medication in the hands of people that need it most. We’re starting to see some of the success from that.”
In the years since the opioid settlement, money has begun flowing into Michigan. Advocates say that money has been used for a wide range of resources and services. That includes increasing Naloxone access and creating new services like the city of Detroit’s 24-hour rapid response team. Advocates say they’re pleased with many of the ways the funding has been used — but there’s still room for improvement.
“I think communities are apprehensive to spend funds. Or maybe not spending it on what we would consider as directly impacting those that have been impacted by the opiate epidemic,” said Duneya Barash, the director of operations at Face Addiction Now.
Michigan will see more than $1 billion over the next 20 years or so from opioid settlements. MDHHS says the money the state receives this year will be split between state and local governments to allocate as they see fit within federal and state guidelines. Barash says she’s hoping to see even more focus on services.
“Being able to offer transportation to and from treatment services, being able to answer people’s questions and have a real-life person there to answer them and having case management that actually goes out and meets with people in the community. I think just those low-barrier services are a game changer,” Barash said.
About 80% of the funding Michigan received in the last year has been allocated according to MDHHS.
