Besieged ARL commission (ARLC) chairman John Grant says he will not stand down despite facing a vote of no confidence from angry NRL clubs. Pernell McPhee Jersey .The clubs were infuriated when Grant retracted an earlier in-principle agreement to provide 130 percent of the salary cap in club funding from 2018 when their chairmen met with him on Wednesday.They reportedly called for his resignation in a letter.However Grant said on Friday he had not seen any such letter and had no reason to walk away.We clearly had a glitch on Wednesday but I expect to be able to take this forward, Grant told reporters on Friday.Instead, he said he expected to be in the role for at least another five years and had already begun organising another meeting with the club chairmen next week.I think the relationships Ive got with the chairs, while they suffered on Wednesday have been very strong, he said.The clubs have also called for constitutional change which would allow them to have two seats on the commission.Grant appeared to offer an olive branch on that score.He announced he had arranged for Australian Olympic Committee president and lawyer John Coates to lead a review into the current constitution, five seasons after the commissions creation.It is an appropriate time to do a constitutional review, and we need appropriate people to lead that and John Coates is second-to-none.Grant also confirmed the funding offer that was agreed to in December 2015 was now off the table.Things have changed, he said.The digital world has erupted with broadcast.Weve got (player) participation issues that need to be addressed today.Weve got different priorities that have come to pass.He said the ARLC wanted to work with the clubs on a new funding model, and that he was confident clubs would understand. Bobby Massie Jersey . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Bryce Callahan Jersey .

With the College Football Playoff committee preparing to release its first rankings of the season Tuesday night (7 p.m. ET on ESPN, WatchESPN), we commissioned our own focus group -- of more than 100,000 fans -- to predict the national champion.The results of our week-long poll -- which we broke down both nationally and state-by-state -- showed just how split the country is among the top teams and how parochial fans of college football are. Alabama was SportsNations choice to win the national title, but only by a hair:Some interesting takeaways from our poll results:The ultimate margin between Alabama (8-0, 5-0 SEC) and Michigan (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) was just 70 votes out of more than 104,000 total votes cast. The Wolverines (17) won more states than the Crimson Tide (14) despite falling just short in the popular vote.Every school among the 10 finalists picked by ESPN.coms experts won at least its home state save for Baylor (6-1, 3-1 Big 12). The state of Texas was won by Texas A&M (7-1, 4-1 SEC). Clemson (8-0, 5-0 ACC), Louisville (7-1; 5-1 ACC), Ohio State (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) and Texas A&M each came out on top in just one state apiece.The most lopsided states were Alabama and West Virginia, with the Tide and Mountaineers (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) each garnering 83 percent of votes in their home states. Following close behind was Michigan, which received 80 percent of votes in its home state, and Washington (8-0, 5-0 Pac-12), at 79 percent. Nebraska (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) won its home state by 60 percentage points.So, how did your state vote?
