"Four Star tight end Jeb Blazevich sure did take his time coming up with his decision, but when he did, he did so to the delight of Georgia Bulldog fans.“I really made up my mind last week,” Jeb Blazevich told Scout. “I knew where I wanted to go then, but I had to sleep on it, pray on it, and just make sure before I announced it publicly.”Once he had taken time to sleep on it apparently he was ready to make his intentions public."

"The impending transfer of Alabama basketball guard Trevor Lacey shocked the country this afternoon, and completely deflated a fanbase that looked to finally have a season to look forward to with the amount of talent returning in 2013-14.Lacey was the team’s leader in assists and the second leading scorer behind Trevor Releford last season. He was also the only player on the team to start all 36 games.Lacey becomes the second player to transfer from the team this offseason after Moussa Gueye already decided to continue his basketball career elsewhere."

"The new college football playoff postseason system, which begins after the 2014 regular season, will be named “College Football Playoff.”The much anticipated announcement came Tuesday from the Langham Hotel in Pasadena.“We decided to call the playoff what it is — the College Football Playoff,” BCS executive director Bill Hancock said. “We think the new playoff will be the most dynamic improvement to college football in a generation. Certainly, it’s what the fans want. We also invite everyone to vote online to select the logo and help us kick off the new College Football Playoff.”"

"College football is a place where wins, trophies and traditions are being swiped away faster than you can say allegations, so the recent news regarding the Auburn Tigers is not surprising. Apparently the dominant team from 2010 was aiding players’ grades and giving them illegal benefits to ensure they stayed on the field when it mattered most. The poster boy for the initial issues was Cam Newton, but now the focus is turning to multiple perpetrators."
