The Michigan Wolverines are probably going to benefit from a lot of other programs seeming dirty in the wake of the FBI probe. It is why it came as no shock that 2018 4-star big man Colin Castleton committed to the program. As other major programs in the country are currently terrified of what happens […]

Tickle no one shocked and do not call them Nancy. Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari has had enough with the exploitation of college basketball players. If it were up to him, the players would be able to make money off their likeness. “Players should be allowed representation just like they have in baseball,” Calipari said, according […]

The Syracuse Orange should probably have more trouble landing top players on the recruiting trail with the program’s coach getting up there in age. However, age is apparently just a number and it didn’t stop 2018 4-star guard Jalen Carey from deciding to play basketball in the freezing winter weather in Syracuse. As an aside: […]

The Michigan Wolverines will receive over $2 million in a deal with Amazon that allows the tech giant to air footage of the program’s practices and other behind-the-scenes nonsense. Also worth noting: People pretend there’s not enough money in college sports to pay players. We know this only because contracts had to be signed and the Detroit […]

College football might be changing a bit. Not to worry, though. Nothing too dramatic. However, the NCAA is considering a rule change to how many people can be on a program’s staff, as well as some alterations to fall camp rules. The proposal that is sitting in front of the NCAA right now would limit […]

The North Carolina Tar Heels have landed the commitment of 5-star prospect Nassir Little. This is not only an interesting get by UNC because of the player’s abilities, but due to the fact he’s in the midst of being a figure in the FBI’s college basketball probe. For some context: The Miami Hurricanes decided with […]

Duke Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski, who has long profited off the NCAA’s ideal of amateurism, is now on record stating that the college basketball model is broken. Depending if you you’re a Mike Krzyzewski and Duke fan or someone who believes both are evil, you will either think the following are noble ideas or a way […]

The Washington State University Police Department is taking matters into its own hands, as it will investigate the incident that took place on the field at Martin Stadium between a USC football player and a Washington State student when fans began rushing the field. Using deductive reasoning, the player who apparently walloped a fan is lineman […]

Almost no good news comes after any tragedy. In the aftermath of the Las Vegas mass shooting that happened earlier in the week, the world of sports has not been spared. One example of this is Colorado assistant football coach Darrin Chiaverini, who lost two friends to the needless tragedy. For clarification, he lost his […]

Sports can sometimes be an escape, inspiration, or a variety of other things. This weekend, San Diego State and UNLV plan on using the platform sports provides both programs to honor the victims of the Las Vegas tragedy that happened earlier in the week. “Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the victims and […]

Former Oklahoma Sooners coach Bob Stoops doesn’t plan on being like a monster for a horror movie. Unlike Jason Voorhees in the Friday The 13th series, there are no plans for one last jump scare prior to actual retirement. How do we know this? Because he keeps telling us he is done. For real done. […]

Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback Brandon Wimbush is currently trotting about life in a walking boot. According to the team, he is listed as day-to-day, though that seems far more like a precautionary measure more than anything else. “He experienced some foot soreness after the [Miami (Ohio)] game, so we put him in a walking […]

The Louisville Cardinals stay losing in the wake of the FBI looming in the shadows. 4-star talent in the 2018 recruiting class, David Johnson, has announced that he is backing out of his commitment to the program. “I’ve decided that I’ll be reopening my recruitment,” Johnson told Scout. Obviously, this isn’t incredibly shocking. Most people […]

North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Roy Williams is now on the record denying any possible involvement by Nike in helping the coach land top high school players on the recruiting trail. “They’ve {Nike} never helped me get any player, never insinuated, never done anything,” Williams told ESPN. “I’ve dealt with Nike and Jordan Brand since […]

Illinois is making a chance at quarterback. Son of legendary gunslinger Jeff George, Jeff George Jr. is getting a chance to make a name for himself from this point moving forward. Lovie Smith recently confirmed the move and this will likely be a welcomed sight to Illinois fans. Many remember the parental George as a […]

The Tennessee Volunteers have fired head football coach Butch Jones after only four and a half seasons. Bob Shoop will take over as the interim head coach. Update: This was a hoax by the below Twitter user, who previously had his profile to look as though he was a prominent media member. BREAKING: Butch Jones […]

Washington football coach Chris Petersen is not to pleased with the start time to the team’s games this season. So much so, in fact, he has apologized to numerous people on behalf of the folk who designed the schedule. “I just want to say something to our fans: We apologize for these late games. And […]

Last weekend, San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny was poked in the eye at the bottom of a scrum. The NIU defender appeared to do so on purpose, but has since apologized. Rashaad Penny, being a bigger person than I can ever be, has accepted the apology. Before we go the words, here is […]

Sean Kugler left his post as head coach of UTEP after the team started the season off as woefully as humanly possible. To replace him, Mike Price — yes, that one — is returning to the university to fill the void. “I’ve asked Mike if he could help us in this situation,” athletic director Bob […]

LSU Tigers offensive lineman Toby Weathersby has heard some people’s complaints about the team’s ineptness. Rather than brushing off that noise to the wayside, he has offered to fistfight critics. Here he is, via the mean streets of Twitter of course, making the offer: The screengrab is presented because we presume it has since been […]

Tubby Smith is aware of the FBI closing in on college basketball, but the Memphis Tigers coach isn’t all that concerned with it. In his mind, he’s always run clean programs. Due to that, there’s no reason to worry about what is happening with the feds. “The softest pillow you can sleep on is a […]

Rick Pitino must think he’s arguing against the NCAA. Or, maybe, he is truly innocent. Either way, it has to be one of those two, because rare is the man being this defiant against allegations as the feds are nearing the doorstep. In an interview with the Courier-Journal, Rick Pitino said some nice things. Like […]

Five New Mexico football players took a knee during the national anthem this past weekend. According to the team’s head coach, Bob Davie, this took him by surprise. This will undoubtedly result in more people getting angry. While some have been trying to explain the protest for what it is — and, it is worth […]

In an absolutely not at all shocking development, scandalous Louisville Cardinals football coach Bobby Petrino would like it if the school did not fire currently embroiled in scandal AD Tom Jurich. All. The. Giggles. “I can’t say enough about what he’s meant to me and my family,” Petrino said of Jurich after his team’s 55-10 […]

Tennessee Volunteers head coach Butch Jones was already on a form of the hot-seat heading into Saturday, but now he might be falling off it. Hell, if you look close enough, you can see the burn holes in his pants. Saturday’s 41-0 shutout loss to Georgia — the program’s worse since 1981 — isn’t going […]

San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny might be the best player in the nation you never heard of. On Saturday, he rushed for 107 yards and caught three passes for 33 more and a touchdown, but that wasn’t the biggest story heading out of SDSU’s victory over Northern Illinois. It was that Rashaad Penny […]

We have said it before, but we will say it a billion times if need be. Michigan Wolverines coach, and Judge Judy superfan, Jim Harbaugh is the gift that won’t stop giving. There are a trillion examples of him doing things that are either newsworthy to the sport he coaches or just so insane that […]

West Virginia Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins is a legend within college basketball. Having battled his way through several programs, while seeing his own share of ups-and-downs in the process, when he speaks about any potential scandal, his words are valuable. It is why his Bob Huggins speaking out on the disaster left in the FBI’s […]

Saquon Barkley is emerging as a Heisman Trophy favorite right in front of our very eyeballs. The electric Penn State talent, who is quickly becoming must-see television, is already making splashes on Saturday. How so? How about returning Penn State’s opening kickoff return for a touchdown? Does that work for you, friend? https://twitter.com/Schutte_B1GFB/status/914212122795667458 Saquon Barkley […]

We had our 4th-and-93 a few weeks back. It spoiled us. Still, the Temple Owls are going to try like hell to top it. On Saturday, a day of love and freedom (or something), Temple was forced to punt on — wait for it — 4th-and-goal. Here is the footage of the wondrous event that […]

Some really unfortunate news is coming out of the Purdue Boilermakers football family. Joe Tiller, whose career at Purdue could certainly be described as legendary, passed a little before 7 a.m. Saturday morning. He was 74-years-old. The university confirmed the death by way of Twitter. We are saddened to report that Joe Tiller has passed […]

Penn State will don what it calls Generations of Greatness uniforms this weekend. You can save whatever jokes you want for somewhere else, because if you’re able to put some emotional responses to the wayside, you will realize these are fire. Does that not move your soul to its very foundation? Do the Generations of […]

Remember when USC Trojans quarterback Sam Darnold was considered all that and a bag of chips? Of course you do. His potential Heisman hype has been jammed down our throats for slightly less than a year at this point. About that potential to be one of the finalists in New York around the end of […]

Specifically, what are the betting odds, TV schedule and live stream information for Georgia vs Tennessee. We’re friends. Thanks to that, we will remove ourselves from the semantics and […]

Rick Pitino has released yet another statement. This time, following the university effectively firing him, the tone of his words are slightly different. No, silly. Of course he isn’t admitting to the logical theory that he knew of anything that went down at Louisville. Rather, he is willing to take blame… for things he continues […]

In what is considered a shocking moment of human emotions turned into thought, Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban had a few words on the protests happening throughout sports. They are more well-balanced than you would think, though they are by no means Nick Saban taking a huge leap by saying something crazy. Still, credit […]

The FBI is going to leave a wake of destruction in college sports by the time it is all said and done. The feds are going to be able to do this, at least largely, because shoe companies are trying like hell to have power in the realm of unpaid labor. A thing not shocking […]
