Dutch firm Meatable can turn pig stem cells into sausages 60 times faster than farmers can rear pigs.
  • I culture cells for a living. Not that these are the only ways, but the most common and effective ways to grow cells in the lab is to add either FBS (fetal bovine serum) or BSA (bovine serum albumin) to the culture media. Currently we don't mass produce BSA in an animal free manner and FBS is by nature an animal product. Granted, that the products of one animal may in fact allow manufacturers produce more than enough 'animal-free meat' to overcome this but I haven't seen any numbers. I'm interested in hearing more about these techniques going forward and in determining if animal-free products can really be produced animal free.

    Report: Stanford's, Cal's ACC membership bids fail by 1 vote
  • I wish I could agree but their absolute refusal to get into NIL and more importantly ( because the Stanford education is valuable) their horrible transfer policies are symptom of a university that does not care about football. In an area that didn't care about college football either.

    Your best players, who have spent years in your system being molded are required to leave because they cannot get into graduate programs. These are Stanford grads. But Stanford doesn't do that?!

    Also the awful credit transfers ensure only freshman can transfer it, if their have the grades.

    Again, this is a university that doesn't give a damn about football, likely didn't during the heydays either. Why would Fox, NBC or CBS want to pay for that? They wouldn't.

    As Duck fan I really loved when these two teams should it out for the North. I am saddened that the university decided it wasn't really worth their time but an not sad that they now reap what they have sown.

  • duckswire.usatoday.com Ranking the Big Ten's helmets from worst to first after addition of Oregon Ducks

    The Ducks are known for their never-ending list of different helmets. Where does their helmet-game rank in the new expanded Big Ten Conference?

    Ranking the Big Ten's helmets from worst to first after addition of Oregon Ducks

    The Oregon Ducks are headed to a new conference a year from now, which means that we get a new opportunity to compare the Ducks’ legendary jersey combinations and an array of helmets to a batch of new teams.

    It is a well-known thing in the world of college football that the Ducks do it as good, if not better than anyone else in the nation when it comes to having the best-looking uniforms in the game. Thanks to the partnership with Oregon alum Phil Knight and the Nike corporation, the Ducks have hundreds upon thousands of different uniform combinations that they can roll out each and every game, and it becomes an event every week during the season to see what the team is going to wear that week.

    Buy Ducks Tickets Today, we’re going to be focusing on just the helmets. Whether you want the classic ‘O,’ the ‘Combat Duck,’ or the popular wings on the side, the Ducks have endless options to choose from, coming in an array or colors.

    So when you look at the Ducks’ future companions in the Big Ten, where do Oregon’s helmets stand? Here are our rankings:

  • This is really a bad idea. I have a hard time believing ESPN wants to pay any fraction of $35-ish million to these schools. No one watches them. No one cares. Costs increase for everyone. Lose, lose. Not happening.

    The Pac4 should just get off their horse and realize the MWC is what they belong on right now. Work hard, get better, build the brave. Try to jump on the next realignment.

    B1G-TIME

    Sources: Oregon, Washington to Join Big Ten, Leave Pac-12 Brett McMurphy Updated: Aug 04, 2023, 12:41 PM EDT

    The Big Ten is getting even bigger with Oregon and Washington becoming the latest schools to join the conference from the Pac-12 starting in 2024, sources told Action Network.

    The departure of the Ducks and Huskies increases the number of schools leaving the Pac-12 in the past 13 months to five (UO, UW, Colorado, USC and UCLA) and could be the fatal blow to the Pac-12.

    The Big Ten will grow to 18 members, the largest in college football history, and must decide whether to expand even further. The Big Ten is contemplating whether to stand at 18 or consider adding Stanford and Cal, or possibly any ACC schools that may leave, sources said.

    Oregon and Washington will not immediately receive full shares in the Big Ten’s new media rights deal with FOX, CBS and NBC but will still make more than they would have by remaining in the Pac-12, sources said.

    With additional schools leaving the Pac-12, the Mountain West would “be open” to adding remaining Pac-12 schools to the league, sources told Action Network.

    The Mountain West currently has a linear television deal with FOX and CBS Sports Network with additional games on CBS through the 2025 season. Another possibility for the Mountain West, depending on how many schools are remaining in the Pac-12, could be a merger of some type between the two leagues, a source said.

    Last August, Action Network reported Oregon and Washington met with Big Ten officials about potential membership. Oregon met with Big Ten officials in Chicago, while Washington met with Big Ten officials in New York, sources said.

    Both schools had been “vetted and cleared” to join the Big Ten for more than a year if the financial details could be worked out between the schools, the Big Ten and the Big Ten’s television partners.

    “There was no more research or information needed on Oregon and Washington,” Big Ten sources said Thursday. “We have everything we need.”

    When former commissioner Kevin Warren left to become president and CEO of the Chicago Bears, the Big Ten momentarily paused the pursuit of any additional members. Even last month, new commissioner Tony Petitti said his direction from the Big Ten presidents was not to expand but to focus on the addition of USC and UCLA in 2024.

    That quickly changed when Colorado left for the Big 12.

    Even though the Big Ten started the Pac-12’s downfall by grabbing USC and UCLA last year, the league did not want “the Pac-12’s blood on its hands” by taking Oregon and Washington before any other members left, sources said.

    However, with the departures of Arizona, Arizona State and Colorado, the Big Ten saw the opportunity to add the Ducks and Huskies without paying them full media shares since the Pac-12 is in “disarray,” sources said.

    The Big Ten now must decide whether to stay at 18 schools or expand further. The league’s options are adding Stanford and Cal or waiting to see if any schools become available from the ACC, such as Florida State, Clemson, Miami or North Carolina.

    Notre Dame is the Big Ten’s top expansion candidate, but the Irish have given no indication they want to give up their independent status.

    Last week, Florida State’s president Richard McCullough and the school’s trustees were clear their days in the ACC were limited.

    “We are not satisfied with our current situation,” McCullough said in the Board of Trustees meeting. “We love the ACC. Our goal is to stay in the ACC, but to stay in the ACC under the current (media rights) situation is hard for us to figure out how we remain competitive unless there is a major change in revenue distribution within the ACC.”

    Added FSU trustee Drew Weatherford: “It's not a matter of if we leave (the ACC), but how and when we leave.”

    Dan Lanning didn’t mince words when asked about his reaction to Colorado’s plan to ditch the Pac-12 for the Big 12.

    Dan Lanning fires shot at Colorado Buffaloes after Pac-12 exit

    One of the big stories coming into the Pac-12 football season is that 2023 will be the last season of the conference as we know it.

    USC and UCLA made their plans public last year; they are headed to the Big Ten. But the future of the conference is in limbo now that Colorado has announced its plans to defect to the Big 12. It’s led to speculation about what some other schools will do. Will the Pac-12 survive? Will it add members? Will it disappear?
