The hot topic of the day was how relegation would work in the NCAA with football. Not sure it fits the American sports culture, but here is the post by Bill Connelly (@SBN_BillC).

SMU has fired their athletic director, Steve Orsini, immediately and right now no one knows why.

Remember the Alabama fan who thought it would be funny to stick his junk in the face of a passed out LSU fan in New Orleans, then post the video on youtube? Well, now he is facing felony charges for sexual battery.

Clemson running back Mike Bellamy has been ruled academically ineligible.

Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione was very open in this interview about his views on a playoff and how to preserve the regular season.

Kameel Jackson may be suspended from the Oklahoma team, but he is not going to transfer.

A column by George Schroeder on the problems Rich Rodriguez is going to face at Arizona.

Robert Steeples has decided that he will play at Memphis after leaving Missouri last month.

The Notre Dame football team appears to have a drinking problem as wide receiver DeVaris Daniels was cited for consumption of alcohol as a minor.

Good news for Pitt as it appears that Ray Graham will be ready for fall camp. The injury happened right in front of me and it was non-contact and nasty looking. I’m happy to see Graham be on a fast recovery schedule.

USC linebacker Simione Vehikite has been ordered to spend a year in jail.

Michigan is going to get new uniforms again for 2012. I’ll reserve judgement till some pictures leak.

C-USA to Add UTSA, North Texas, FIU and Louisiana Tech

Last night, Kyle Kensing (@kensing45) posted an article about how RowdyReport.com had broken the news that the University of Texas – San Antonio (UTSA) was likely to join Conference USA (C-USA) for the 2013 season. The story outlines the UTSA football program and how they have already grown a huge legion of fans.

Later in the evening, Kensing also posted on twitter that North Texas would also be voting this week to join C-USA.

Today, Brett McMurphy reported that FIU and Louisiana Tech were also expected to join C-USA. Those four teams would bring C-USA back up to 12 members for 2013 after they lose Houston, SMU, UCF and Memphis to the Big East.

UTSA would not owe their original target conference, the Western Athletic Conference, a buyout fee because they never officially started in the league. They would however owe C-USA a $2 million entrance fee, according to McMurphy.

North Texas and FIU would also be able to leave the Sun Belt conference without paying an exit fee.

In other conference re-alignment news, it also appears that Utah State and San Jose State with be joining the Mountain West conference for 2013.

For more news and details, here is the McMurphy story.

I find it interesting how the smaller conferences keep cannibalizing each other. There is sure to be even more movement when the WAC eventually folds from all of this and the MWC/C-USA merger is officially dead.
