A few news items from the afternoon for you.

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith has signed a contract extension through June of 2016, Ken Gordon writes in The Columbus Dispatch. Smith quickly extinguished rumors earlier this year that he would be a candidate for the AD vacancy at Notre Dame, his alma mater.
Wisconsin has finalized its 2009 schedule and moved a road game with Northern Illinois to Soldier Field in Chicago in 2011, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Jeff Potrykus writes in the Badgers Blog. Northern Illinois played a similar game against Iowa to kick off the 2007 season.
