Update: After Crystal Ball Run first mentioned Thursday morning that as many as 12 University of Miami football players were set to be suspended by the school, the hammer officially dropped on Thursday evening. The Miami Herald is reporting that indefinite suspensions (barring NCAA investigations) have been handed down to eight Miami players. The University […]

The Pac 12 takes the field for the first time this Fall as Utah and Colorado join the conference and the league splits into two divisions – Gates and Schwarzenegger. Wait, you mean the Pac 12 didn’t give their conferences ridiculously laughable names? You mean it’s just North and South? Well, that’s disappointingly normal. Oh […]
Ever since the Mad Hatter, Les Miles, took over in Baton Rouge, there have been few dull moments on the field for the LSU Tigers. He constantly puts his team in spots that leave his coaching acumen open to questioning, but he never fails to entertain. Unfortunately for supporters of the Bayou Bengals, the action […]

The long, winding, and controversial career of uber-talented and often-troubled Tennessee safety Janzen Jackson has come to an end, as coach Derek Dooley announced that he’d been dismissed from the team prior to this morning’s practice. GoVolsExtra.com was the first to report this story. While no reason has officially been given (and likely won’t be), […]

Ahh, the Big Ten. With 12 teams. And Legends and Leaders. And the Cy Hawk Trophy. Yes, the Big Ten can be a punching bag nationally but they say sticks and stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt you. That is exactly what the Big Ten should be thinking because the addition […]

In case you missed it, the Big East actually played football last season. Of course, those of us who actually like watching Big East football realize last year was embarrassing. This year it should be much better, and when TCU arrives in 2012 the Big East could potentially move ahead of the ACC. OK, maybe […]
In a move straight out of the Law & Order playbook, it turns out that the NCAA is letting players turn state’s witness in exchange for their playing freedom, a concept referred to as “limited immunity.” I can already hear the cries from Joe 12-Pack: “So, Scott Free goes out for a steak on a […]

In a move about as unsurprising as unsurprising can get, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly has named Dayne Crist the Irish’s starting quarterback for their Week 1 game against South Florida. Notre Dame beat writer Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune

(Update: I stand corrected. Apparently college football games were played in Japan from 1986-1993 in what was known as the Coca-Cola Classic. Thanks to
It was all going according to plan for the Mountain West Conference. Already home to the mighty TCU Horned Frogs, perennial mid-major power Boise State joins the league this year. Losing BYU to independence hurt, but the conference was still positioning itself to take a step up in prestige and a possible automatic BCS bid. […]
One of the biggest stories in the SEC this off-season has been the return of Steve Spurrier. OK, after his brief stint in the NFL, the Ol’ Ball Coach has, in fact, been head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks for seven years now. (Time flies.) In the past few months, however, the real Spurrier […]

Welcome to the SEC, where football is either being played, spoken of, argued about or debated 365 days a year. Thanks for coming, and feel free to hand your coat to the receptionist at the door. She’ll also provide a lovely parting gift- likely a BCS National Championship trophy- upon your departure. Ok, so yes, […]
