NCAA Football Betting Lines
09/02/2010 - IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -Iowa says it is extending coach Kirk Ferentz's contract through 2020. Ferentz's current deal runs through 2015 and pays him roughly $2.84 million per season. Ferentz's new deal will total nearly $3.7 million a year. School officials expect the deal to be signed Friday. The announcement Thursday comes just two days before Iowa kicks off its most anticipated season in years. The ninth-ranked Hawkeyes, coming off an 11-2 season and a win in the Orange Bowl, host Eastern Illinois on Saturday. Iowa athletic director Gary Barta says the extension supports his goal of retaining Ferentz until he retires. Ferentz is in his 12th season as the head coach at Iowa. Last season, he was named the Big Ten's Coach of the Year for the third time.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
