Bobby Bowden may not be coaching the Seminoles anymore, but he is certainly going to step up to the plate when his alums are in need. This was seen when former Florida State RB Sammie Smith wanted to restore his civil rights after serving his prison sentence. In Florida, convicted felons cannot vote or own a weapon unless the individual gets a full or conditional pardon from the Clemency Board. So after 7 years behind bars for a federal...
It’s official: former Alabama quarterback Star Jackson transferred to Georgia State earlier this week and will be a part of the Panthers’ inaugural football season. Even though the redshirt freshman saw some playing time last season with the Tide, he figured he wouldn’t see the field too much with McElroy calling the shots for the defending national champs. Since Jackson transferred to a championship subdivision team he is not required to sit out the 2010 season. It’s not a...
The Nebraska faithful have reason to worry as their top receiver can’t seem to stay out of trouble.

Some time around 1:23 a.m. on Friday morning a police officer spotted Paul, who reeked of alcohol, urinating on a fence near Centennial Mall. The officer tested Paul who blew a .104. He was immediately arrested,...
5 star recruit Jerimy Finch has decided to leave another D-1 program. The heralded recruit from Indiana first headed to Florida, after decommitting from Michigan and Indiana.

The injury certainly had a lasting effect as his grades declined and his morale with it. After playing one season with...

The attrition rate at Penn State seems to be growing for the Nittany Lion’s WR corp. First, Levi Norwood departed the team earlier this year to be closer to his family at Baylor. Now, it looks like A.J. Price, a Northern Virginia native, was just granted his release from the team with the intentions of transferring to the University of Virginia under head coach Mike London. Though the Nittany Lions will not feel the effect of these two departures...
Auburn’s backfield got trimmed this weekend with the surprising dismissal of redshirt freshman Dontae Aycock. The RB was a Florida 5-A high school QB and top prospect by most major rating services. The 5’10 218 pound athlete played RB during spring practice and was set to fall into the Tigers’ backfield rotation. The university announced that Aycock was dismissed from the program for violating team rules. Though the school did not provide further comment, there is speculation that prior to...
San Diego State just sold its soul for a shade over $1 million dollars. The Aztecs agreed to travel to Ann Arbor to play the Michigan Wolverines in 2011. To date, this will be the largest payout in Aztecs history and will certainly cover a significant portion of the school’s football expenses.
