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.

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.

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

New Michigan football t-shirt

Michigan unveiled a new football t-shirt for sale today that has a list of the program’s accomplishments heading into its 133rd season. Kind of reads like an old No Fear t-shirt from back in the day.

Former Purdue running back Reggie Pegram is headed to North Texas and may be eligible this season.

Pete Sonski (@29Sonski) provided this link with a short video of the USF athletic director Doug Woolard stating that an on-campus football stadium is in the long-term plans for the school.

Former Nebraska players Eric Crouch and Tommy Frazier handled their College Football Hall of Fame snubs with class. Makes he hope even more that Frazier finally gets in next year.

Aaron Torres (@Aaron_Torres) argues that USC’s athletic director Pat Haden is the best in the business.

While on the subject of USC, Heisman Pundit Chris Huston (@HeismanPundit) has an interesting take on how the sanctions actually helped USC become a top program again.

According to @SUonRivals, wide receiver Quinta Funderburk will transfer from Arkansas to Syracuse.

TCU has sold of of season football tickets for the first time in years. Just two years ago, they only sold 19,143 season tickets, than 22,500 last year and finally 30,000 this year. Amazing what a renovated stadium and a move to the Big XII has been worth to them already.

Notre Dame linebacker Carlo Calabrese couldn’t keep his mouth shut while Tommy Rees was being arrested a few weeks ago. Now he has been charged with intimidation of a police officer.

Sometimes I have no words for the photos I find.

Brett McMurphy wrote the only article I’ve found that points out the real reason behind the new BCS coming in 2014. The big conferences want to pay the small conferences even less.
