		<description><![CDATA[Notre Dame fired head coach Charlie Weis on November 30, 2009 after five turbulent seasons.  Upon termination, Weis received $6,638,403 to serve as severance payment for his 10-year contract extension that he signed back in 2005.  According to tax returns obtained by the Chicago Tribune, Weis received an additional $2,054,744 of buyout money from Notre Dame to cover the period of July 2010 to June 2011.  To date, Notre Dame has paid Weis $8,693,147 and it doesn’t stop here.  Per the terms of Weis’ separation agreement, he is to receive annual payments through 2015.  At the current rate, Weis is expected to amass over $19 million by 2015.  That is a significant amount of money for a coach who went 35-27 and hasn’t been on the South Bend sidelines since 2009.    For Weis, his ND buyout package is free money.  Since his termination, he has had no shortage of coaching positions.  In 2010, he was the offensive coordinator for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs.  After one season, he took his offensive playbook to the Florida Gators.  Again after one season, he packed his bags, and headed to the Midwest to take over the head coaching position at Kansas where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, it was star receiver Sammy Watkins who was arrested for possession of marijuana.  Now, Clemson’s top running back prospect, Mike Bellamy, is no longer a Tiger as he has been ruled academically ineligible.  The speedster announced that he will be transferring this summer with aspirations of playing football for a junior college. Last season, Bellamy came to Clemson with great expectations, but his tenure was anything but smooth.  As a true freshman, Bellamy turned heads with his lightening speed and agility.  The first time he touched the ball as a Tiger he scampered for a 75-yard TD run against Troy.  He was second on the team in rushing yards (343 yards) behind Andre Ellington.  However, this all came to a grinding halt late in the season after coach Dabo Swinney sidelined the RB indefinitely for violating team rules making him ineligible for the 2011 ACC Championship game and the Orange Bowl. Back in January, Swinney reinstated Bellamy with hopes that the talented back will propel Clemson to the next level come 2012.  Unfortunately that idea was quickly erased as Bellamy failed to maintain his grades despite Clemson providing the necessary means for academic success.  The university has a top-notch [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After two turbulent seasons with Michigan, a transfer request to Miami, and a brief stint with San Jose State, quarterback Tate Forcier has finally ended his college football quest and found a new home in the pro ranks.  Over the weekend, the once highly touted quarterback decided to take his talents north signing with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL).   After Forcier dropped out of San Jose State, he teamed up with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia to coach and prepare him for the rigors of the CFL.  With a strong commitment to flourish in the CFL ranks, Forcier is destined to challenge Hamilton’s veteran QB Henry Burriss for the starting spot.     Wolverine fans are well aware of Forcier’s moxie.  As a true freshman, he lead the 2009 Wolverines to a 4-0 start during his coming out party, but the festivities quickly ended as Michigan ended the season with an abysmal 1-7 record.  During the losing streak, Forcier suffering multiple concussions and battled with a series of shoulder injuries. After the 2009 season, Forcier never truly recovered from his injuries. To make matters worse, he also struggled with academic issues.  This culmination of factors certainly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Florida A&#38;M is dealing with the hazing death of a member of its famed Marching 100 Band, university president James Ammons announced earlier today that the band will remain silent through the 2012-13 academic year.  This announcement was made in the aftermath of drum major Robert Champion’s senseless death back in November.  After a football game in Orlando, Champion was beaten badly during a hazing incident on the band bus.  There is speculation that Champion was targeted because he was against hazing, was homosexual, and was a candidate for chief drum major. Champion’s death forced the school to immediately suspend the band, forced the resignation of band director Julian White, who has been with the band for 40 years, and forced two music professors to resign.  As a result of the beating death, 13 people were charged with 11 facing felony hazing charges which caries a penalty of up to six years.   The Marching 100 Band is one of the countries most prestigious college bands playing in high profile events from presidential inaugurations to Super Bowls.  The band was the inspiration for the movie Drumline.  There is still no timetable as to when the band will be reinstated.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After being wrongfully apprehended, beaten and incarcerated for 18 months by Pennsylvania authorities, former Tennessee Vols defensive back Steven Johnson filed a multi-million dollar civil suit seeking, among other things, his 1998 NCAA football championship ring. In Johnson’s 25-page complaint, he alleges the entire incident was based off of an erroneous warrant and seeks compensatory and punitive damages for his pain and suffering.    The facts of his case are quite disturbing. On May 30, 2010, Johnson was at his neighborhood home in Philadelphia, PA when he was approached by warrant officers. During the arrest and without provocation, two warrant officers proceeded to physically and violently restrain Johnson. The assault caused Johnson to suffer serious injuries to include a broken knee, torn knee tendons and ligaments, a broken tooth, a broken toe nail, broken ribs, a broken finger, cuts on his forearms, and cuts on his head requiring stitches. At no time did Johnson resist, show sings of aggression, attempt to flee, or make any movement that would justify the use of excessive force. While Johnson was incarcerated for 18 months with no opportunity for bail as there was an erroneous detainer against him, the Philadelphia Licensing and Inspection agency illegally [...]]]></description>
