After South Carolina cookie cake icing ruling, company sends cookie cakes to NCAA

South Carolina doesn't have to pay for its self-reported cookie cake icing sins. And the NCAA got rewarded.

Included in the Gamecocks' 22 self-reported NCAA violations from the past year was "impermissible icing decorations" on cookie cakes that were given to potential recruits. However, on Tuesday, an NCAA spokesperson tweeted that the Gamecocks' self-reported violation was not a violation at all.

So Great American Cookies wanted to thank the NCAA on Wednesday. The company hatched an idea to send cookie cakes to the NCAA offices and made true on it.

The "You're A Real Sport" cookie made us chuckle. Maybe it'll be in the next NCAA student-athlete commercial? A spokesperson for Great American Cookies said NCAA employees seemed happy to have the cookie cakes.

Yes, we must jokingly ask if NCAA employees eating free cookie cakes is an NCAA violation. (No, it's not.)

After Oklahoma's self-reported "excessive pasta" violations were brought to light, former OU C Gabe Ikard revealed that Olive Garden gave him pasta at the NFL combine.

Devon Allen may have won a national title in track, but some of his Oregon teammates claim to be faster

Oregon wide receiver Devon Allen made headlines in June when he won the 110-meter hurdles title at the NCAA track and field championships. Not only did Allen win the event, his 13.16 time was a record for the NCAA championships in the event.

One would think Allen’s accomplishments in track would make him the fastest guy on the football team, but a few of his teammates think otherwise. At Oregon media day on Monday, junior wideout B.J. Kelley named himself as the Ducks’ fastest receiver.

“I am,” Kelley said, per the Oregonian. “On the field I am. I know he’s definitely faster on the track.”

Like Allen, Kelley has experience with Oregon’s top-ranked track and field program. He ran in the 4X100 race as a sophomore and said he appreciates the way Allen has balanced participating in both track and football.

“It’s really hard. When I did it, I would be thinking about how hard I would have to go in football and track,” Kelley said. “You can’t really hold back. You have to go all out. It’s worked out for him and I’m happy for him.”

Earlier in July, senior Keanon Lowe said that Allen would beat him in a sprint, but his own speed is superior in other ways.

"If we do three 70-yard sprints, he'll win three. If we run 10, I'm going to get him in the last six or seven. To me, the fastest guy is the guy who can be the fastest for 10 reps. So I'm the fastest," Lowe said.

The 6-foot, 190-pound Allen was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and took a redshirt in his first season with the football program last year. He caught two long touchdowns in the spring game in May and is looking to make an impact for the Ducks moving forward. With Bralon Addison rehabbing a knee injury and several other receivers off to the pros, he has a chance to do just that.

VOD: Kentucky's Cory Johnson tells us about his bathroom frequency

You can know a lot about the players from your favorite college football team. But their bathroom habits are usually information that goes undiscovered. There aren't too many, if any, reporters asking those questions.

But when discussing his weight, Kentucky DT Cory Johnson brought up his restroom frequency. Johnson, who is listed at 6-3, 299, revealed why he thinks his weight fluctuates so much.

Are we the only ones who wonder if his frequency is, uh, too frequent?

Watch Georgia freshman RB Nick Chubb lay out a fullback in practice (Video)

Back in May, we showed you the insane vertical leap of Georgia freshman Nick Chubb. Now that the Rivals four-star running back is on campus and participating in practice, it didn’t take long for him to do something else to impress us.

During blocking drills in Wednesday morning’s practice, Chubb knocked junior 230-pound fullback Merritt Hall right on his behind. Hall was even holding a pad, but the strength of Chubb proved to be too much. Take a look at the video, which comes via BulldawgIllustrated.com.

Chubb measured in at 5-foot-10 and 228 pounds when he reported to campus. Before arriving, in addition to his vertical (which measured in at 41 inches at the Nike SPARQ finals), Chubb also ran the 40-yard dash in a blistering 4.44 seconds.

Chubb, the No. 35 overall prospect in the 2014 class, joins a crowded Bulldogs backfield with juniors Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall returning and five-star freshman Sony Michel also joining the team. While he may not see a ton of touches in 2014, based on athleticism alone, Chubb looks like a guy with a bright future.

Remember, the targeting rule is (thankfully) different in 2014

In March, the NCAA approved much-needed tweaks to the targeting rules that were implemented before the 2013 season. As football season is three weeks away, now is a good time to go over those changes.

Last season, a targeting foul caused an automatic ejection and 15-yard penalty. If instant replay determined that the hit was not targeting, the ejection was rescinded but inexplicably, the 15-yard penalty remained. Now, if the officials determine via instant replay that the hit is not targeting, both the ejection and 15-yard penalty are overturned. But will we see a decrease in targeting penalties upheld that weren't targeting penalties in the first place?

For games that don't have the option of instant replay (if a game is not televised and there is no video available), referees will have the option of reviewing a first-half targeting penalty at halftime. If a targeting penalty is overturned at halftime, the player ejected in the first half of the game is allowed to return for the second half.

Other rule changes of note, courtesy of the National Football Foundation and College Football officiating:

• Much like the NFL, there is now a low hit policy in place in college football for quarterbacks. Roughing the passer now "prohibits the defense from making forcible contact at the knee or below to an opponent who is in a passing posture." Defenders can still wrap-up below the knees, but they must not lead with the shoulder, helmet or forearm into the quarterback's lower leg. Much like targeting, this will be interpreted by officials, so there's a good chance we'll see a couple iffy low-hit roughing the passer calls this season if a player is being blocked towards the ground and attempts to tackle the quarterback.

• Last season, Arkansas State was penalized twice against Auburn for wearing non-contrasting jerseys and having non-contrasting numbers on them. In 2014, contrasting numbers is now a rule. Before the game, if a team does not have numbers that "clearly contrast with the jersey itself" the referee will ask the team to switch. If the team does not comply, it will be charged a timeout. The referee will then ask at the beginning of each subsquent quarter, meaning a non-compliant team could be charged four of its six timeouts for wearing the jerseys. We have serious doubts that will happen, unless it's an egregious mistake or dire circumstances.

According to the NFF and CFO, there will be two points of emphasis in officiating this year as well, including the management of players and coaches on the sidelines and player behavior. The NFF says closer attention will be paid to enforcing the sideline rule and officials "will be firm about calling unsportsmanlike conduct fouls.

Northern Illinois running back Cameron Stingily to miss first four games

Northern Illinois will be without its leading returning rusher for the first four games of the 2014 season.

Head coach Rod Carey said that running back Cameron Stingily, who rushed for 1,119 yards and nine touchdowns last season, will miss the start of the season due to an undisclosed injury. Carey said that the team expects the senior to return at some point in the season.

“It’s tough to replace him but we knew we would be very, very deep there, and so we are,” Carey said, per the Daily Chronicle. “The next guy’s just got to understand, there’s probably going to be more carries for him, at least early.”

Senior speedster Akeem Daniels, who missed all of 2013 with an injury, seems like a likely candidate to see an increased role in Stingily’s absence. Daniels ran for 447 yards and nine touchdowns in 2012. Additionally, junior Keith Harris Jr. also figures to be in the mix for carries. Harris ran for a combined 369 yards and six touchdowns in the past two seasons.

The loss of the 6-foot-1, 235-pound Stingily is a significant one for NIU, who are also looking to name a starting quarterback now that the versatile Jordan Lynch has graduated and is playing professionally.

Lynch and Stingily were a bruising 1-2 punch for the Huskies. With those two out of the picture when the season begins, a combination of the 5-foot-7, 189-pound Daniels and either junior Matt McIntosh, Anthony Maddie or Drew Hare (both sophomores) at QB will present a new look for NIU.

The team’s non-conference schedule is a tough one, too. After opening up with Presbyterian, the Huskies play Northwestern, UNLV, and Arkansas on the road.

Both driver and former Auburn TE Philip Lutzenkirchen were legally drunk at time of fatal car crash

Joseph Ian Davis and former Auburn TE Philip Lutzenkirchen were legally drunk when they were involved in a car crash that killed them both on June 30.

According to toxicology reports published by AL.com, Davis, the driver, had a 0.17 blood alcohol content at the time of the crash, which happened in Georgia. The state limit is 0.08. Lutzenkirchen, who was in the back seat of the car, had a blood alcohol content of 0.377.

After investigating the crash, police had believed alcohol was a factor. It happened after 3 a.m. on June 30 and the car failed to stop at a stop sign, hit two ditches almost 100 feet apart and then went into the air overturned several times before coming to a stop.

Lutzenkirchen was ejected from the vehicle and Davis was partially ejected. Neither man was wearing a seatbelt. Two other passengers in the car survived. Toxicology tests were only performed on Davis and Lutzenkirchen.

Following his death, Auburn fans rolled the oaks at Toomer's Corner in Lutzenkirchen's memory and a memorial service was held in his hometown, where both Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and AD Jay Jacobs attended. Georgia QB Hutson Mason was friends with Lutzenkirchen since the two were kids and wore a No. 43 pin in his memory when meeting with the media last week.

Lutzenkirchen caught 14 touchdown passes in his career at Auburn. He suffered a season-ending hip injury as a senior in 2012.

Baylor WR Clay Fuller proposed at a minor league baseball team's Baylor night (video)

Proposals at the ballpark are cliche and overused. But we'll give Baylor WR Clay Fuller a pass on this one. He wasn't in the stands and didn't propose between innings. And more importantly, his proposal didn't get denied.

Last week, the Round Rock Express, the AAA affiliate of the Texas Rangers, held a Baylor night. QB Bryce Petty was there, as was Fuller, a former walk-on WR who had 512 yards receiving last season.

Before Baylor, Fuller, 27, played minor league baseball and he and Petty were part of the ceremonial first pitch before the game. According to the Dallas Morning News, Fuller caught the ball, which had the words "Will You Marry Me?" on it, and took it over to his girlfriend, Makenzie Robertson.

Then this happened:

Robertson, a former athlete at Baylor, is the daughter of women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey.

Western Michigan WR Jay Harris not on team, possibly pursuing rap career again

Western Michigan WR Jay Harris won't be playing football in 2014.

After practice on Tuesday, coach P.J. Fleck said that Harris had parted ways with the team. The receiver hadn't been at the team's first two practices.

Instead, it looks like he could be getting into the music business again as rapper "Jay DatBull."

Tuesday afternoon, he tweeted this:

New music coming this week #JimmysWorld

— Jimmy Harris (@TheRealJimmy94) August 5, 2014

And subsequently later in the day retweeted a tweet from another person referring to Harris "going back to his dream" and then this tweet:

Everyone who thought this was a joke... Just wait on it \uD83D\uDE0F

— Jimmy Harris (@TheRealJimmy94) August 6, 2014

In high school, Harris originally committed to Michigan State, however, his scholarship was pulled after videos of some of his raps were posted on YouTube. (Click here to see "DatBull 4 Life," but beware that it features explicit lyrics and drug use.)

However, he then wanted to play football again and signed with Western Michigan. We'll let MLive.com explain it.

In August of 2013 he resurfaced on the roster of ASA College, a junior college in Brooklyn. He left that school shortly after and enrolled at East Coast Prep in Great Barrington, Mass., before committing to WMU in November.

According to Rivals, Harris was a three-star WR in the Class of 2014.

Fleck told MLive that he sat down with Harris in March and the two came to an agreement that he would focus on football.

"You give young people a shot and you believe in them and sometimes that happens," Fleck said.
