Former Minnesota QB Philip Nelson reaches plea agreement in assault case
Nelson was originally charged with two felonies following the May 11 fight outside a bar in Mankato, Minn., that left Isaac Kolstad, a former linebacker at Minnesota State, with a serious brain injury. Now, according to the Associated Press, Nelson will plead guilty to fifth-degree assault, which “carries a maximum jail sentence of 90 days.”
Nelson’s attorney, James Fleming, cited the reports of three doctors who determined that there was a “lack of medical certainty” if the kick delivered from Nelson to Kolstad caused the serious brain injury. Instead, “a forensic pathologist hired by the defense” concluded that a punch thrown by another defendant “most likely caused Kolstad’s injuries.”
With this testimony at hand, Fleming filed for Nelson’s charges to be dropped, leading to the plea agreement (in which both felonies were dropped).
Per the Minnesota Star-Tribune, Nelson issued a statement through Fleming:
“I am saddened by what happened on May 11, 2014. I still don’t remember what happened that night after I was hit in the head, but I recognize that I let down my family and friends by my actions. I offer my sincere apologies to everyone involved, and I wish Isaac Kolstad the best as he continues in his recovery.”
According to witnesses, the fight brief fight began when Nelson pushed Kolstad after mistaking him for a bouncer who had kissed his girlfriend.
From the AP:
Witnesses told investigators that Nelson shoved Kolstad, a 2013 graduate, after mistaking him for a bouncer who had kissed his girlfriend. Kolstad knocked Nelson to the ground, but as he walked away, a third man punched Kolstad in the head. Surveillance video shows Kolstad dropping to the ground and his head smacking the pavement. Nelson then kicked Kolstad in the head. Trevor Shelley, of St. Peter, is accused of punching Kolstad in the head and is charged with assault.
According to Fleming, Nelson suffered a concussion when he was knocked to the ground. He doesn’t remember delivering the kick, but “has reviewed the video and acknowledges what he did,” according to a Fleming’s statement.
Kolstad’s injury required emergency surgery and doctors were uncertain if he’d survive. He has since spent months recovering and has regained his ability to walk, run and form complete sentences. He returned to his home in Mankato after months at the Mayo Clinic.
Kolstad’s family declined to make a statement, but his attorney, Kenneth White, said the family is disappointed with the plea agreement.
“This case is not simply about a kick in the head. It’s a series of decisions Mr. Nelson made,” White said.
Nelson played at Minnesota for two seasons before transferring to Rutgers, where he never played a down before being kicked off the team following his arrest.
In two seasons with the Gophers, Nelson threw for 2,179 yards and 17 touchdowns while racking up 548 yards and six scores on the ground.
Nelson’s father Pat told the Star that his son hopes to resume his playing career.

Former Vanderbilt player testifies in rape case that teammate was 'amped'
Jaborian McKenzie took the stand on Tuesday in a rape trial involving former Vanderbilt players and said his teammate was "amped" that he had an unconscious woman in his dorm room.
Jaborian McKenzie said then-teammate Brandon Vandenburg passed out condoms encouraging others and was excited that there was the woman lying on the floor of his dorm room. Cory Batey and Vandenburg are charged with the rape of an unconscious student in June of 2013. McKenzie and Brandon Banks are also charged, but their cases are being heard at a later date.
"He was like amped, demanding," McKenzie told jurors of Vandenburg's demeanor. "He was hyper, like he was coaching us to do whatever."
McKenzie testified that Vandenburg even tried to wake up his roommate, who was sleeping on the top bunk in a dorm room, to participate.
The roommate never got up, but McKenzie testified how his two best friends violated the female student. He said the alleged attack ended with Cory Batey urinating on the woman.
According to the AP, defense attorneys have told jurors that McKenzie, who was questioned about changing his story in cross-examnination, and Banks are testifying in the hopes of a deal involving lesser charges.
McKenzie said he and Batey and Banks were good friends and barely knew Vandenburg, who said he needed help carrying his date to his room. He also said he didn't touch the woman but he took pictures of her.
McKenzie briefly played for Alcorn State at the beginning of the 2013 season after being dismissed from Vanderbilt. All four players were dismissed after the alleged incident.

Jim Harbaugh once ate cereal with Gatorade instead of milk
He was asked to share a story about his dad that others wouldn’t know. He offered this gem:
“This one time when I was a kid, we didn’t have any milk for cereal and I saw him put Gatorade in his cereal instead of milk,” he said with a smirk. “It was the weirdest thing I ever saw. I didn’t try it – for good reason. That’s not where Gatorade goes.”
Jay said that, in a weird way, the Gatorade story is an example of his dad just being who he is.
“That kind of says a little bit about him, he just gets the job done. He doesn’t really care what it takes. He’s not picky,” Jay said.
Never change, coach. Never change.

Auburn's Nick Marshall moving from quarterback to cornerback for the NFL draft
The former Auburn quarterback announced at the Senior Bowl on Tuesday that he would move to cornerback for the NFL draft.
Marshall was invited to the Senior Bowl as a quarterback.
"It wasn't difficult because I played cornerback coming up," Marshall said. "It won't be a hard transition for me to make. It's something that I know if I put my mind to it I can do anything that I want."
Marshall started his career as a cornerback at Georgia in 2011 before being dismissed from the team. He transferred to Garden City Community College were he became the starting quarterback for a year and later started for Auburn for two years. Marshall threw for 4,508 yards and 34 touchdowns with 13 interceptions during his two seasons at Auburn. He also rushed for 1,866 yards and 23 touchdowns.
While Marshall helped lead the Tigers to an SEC title and a spot in the national championship game in 2013, his passing accuracy was always a question. Even though he threw for more yards this season, he struggled with his accuracy and consistency at times.
Marshall played in 13 games at corner for Georgia and made five tackles.
ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper said in December he thought Marshall could be a fourth or fifth-round pick in the draft as a defensive back.

Jim Harbaugh hires son Jay Harbaugh as Michigan tight ends coach
Harbaugh announced Tuesday that his son Jay Harbaugh will serve as the Wolverines’ tight ends coach and assistant special teams coach. Jay Harbaugh spent the past three seasons in the Baltimore Ravens organization under head coach John Harbaugh, Jim’s brother. In 2014, he was an offensive quality control coach for the Ravens.
“Jay gathered a wealth of experience the last three seasons coaching in the NFL and I am excited to have him join our coaching staff,” Jim Harbaugh said. “His passion for teaching the game is at the highest level and he will be an asset to our team. He did a phenomenal job in Baltimore and will do an excellent job mentoring our tight ends.”
In addition to working as a quality control coach where he “focused on statistical analysis, self-scouting reports and breakdowns of opposing defenses,” Harbaugh also spent time working with Baltimore’s video and weight room staff.
“It is an amazing opportunity and privilege to coach football at one of the premier universities in the world,” Jay Harbaugh said. “I’m ecstatic about being in Ann Arbor, and to be a part of building something special with the great people in our program.”
Before his time with the Ravens, Harbaugh was an undergraduate assistant under Mike Riley at Oregon State from 2008-2011. He also interned under his dad with the 49ers during the summer of 2011.

Hey NCAA, Bobby Bowden wants his vacated wins back too
“I’m all for Joe getting his hundred wins back and me getting my 12 back,” Bowden told the Orlando Sentinel.
Bowden, the long-time Florida State head coach, had 12 victories taken away from the 2006 and 2007 seasons by the NCAA due to an academic scandal that the FSU coaches were not implicated in. Paterno, the long-time Penn State coach, had 111 victories taken away as part of the NCAA’s (now mostly rescinded) sanctions related to the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
When those Paterno victories were vacated, it made Bowden the all-time winningest coach in major college football. Bowden felt uneasy about that distinction.
“It always felt like there should be an asterisk beside it,” Bowden said. “When I would give a speech and be introduced as the all-time winningest coach, it never felt right to me.”
If Bowden’s 12 wins were restored, his total would reach 388 – still 21 behind Paterno’s 409. For Bowden, it’s not about the record; it’s about the inconsistency the NCAA has shown with issues like this.
“The NCAA has been very inconsistent about how they take away victories,” Bowden said. “It’s not like we were trying to cover anything up. We did everything in our dad-gum power to get to the bottom of that situation.”

Penn State AD apologizes for tweet about hockey helmet '409' decals
Penn State's athletic director apologized for her weekend tweet about the Penn State hockey team's decision to wear "409" decals on helmets in the wake of the NCAA announcement about the football team's restored wins.
As part of a proposed settlement announced Friday, the NCAA agreed to restore the vacated wins as part of the Sandusky scandal punishments. The wins again officially give former coach Joe Paterno 409 wins and make him the winningest coach in FBS history.
Athletic director Sandy Barbour called the tribute "inappropriate and insensitive" in a Twitter reply to an inquiry about it. (Hat tip to Penn Live)
@gretchnielsen Agree with you. Inappropriate and insensitive. It's been corrected.
— Sandy Barbour (@SandyB_PSUAD) January 17, 2015 On Monday, she apologized on WBLF radio in State College. Via Penn Live:
"First of all, I want to apologize for the tweet," Barbour told hosts Jerry Fisher, Travis Johnson, Tim Owen, and Jacob Kaucher. "This is far too important a subject to vet on a casual; or in social media. I'll use my own words. It was inappropriate and insensitive of me to do that from a tweet standpoint."
Barbour is in her first year as the Nittany Lions' athletic director. The stickers were worn for Penn State hockey's Friday night game only.
"But from the standpoint of my concern, and why I've had conversations with our coaches about this, is because this is a moment to celebrate, and I knew before I came to Penn State [from California] that 409 meant success with honor, that 409 means far more to this community and this university then wins," Barbour said.
"But, having come from the outside, I know that's not necessarily what everyone else knows and thinks, and frankly, in my five months here, I have learned so much more about Penn State and what an incredible place it is. I want the rest of the world to see and feel the things I have seen, and I thought it was incredibly important in this moment that we pause to make sure we got it right."
While the number of now-official-again wins have gotten the majority of attention in the wake of the settlement announcement, they aren't the only development. As part of the proposal, the $60 million fine that Penn State was assessed as part of the punishment will go to child sexual abuse prevention programs and treatment for those affected by child sexual abuse.

There's a petition for Oregon to retire Marcus Mariota's number
A petition in iPetition.com has already surpassed its goal of 1,000 signatures after being posted last week. The petition says Mariota "has selflessly brought so much to the school and has held a special place in the household of all Ducks fans. Let us honor him and his legend by retiring his number."
As we all know, just because the petition has met its modest goal, htere's nothing mandating that Oregon listen to it. However, we're not going to argue that Mariota would be a worthy candidate if Oregon decided to retire his number.
He's the first Heisman Trophy winner in school history and won 36 games as a starting quarterback. While Oregon ultimately fell short in the national title game against Ohio State, he became the first Pac-12 player to accumulate more than 5.000 yards of total offense in a season in the loss.
Mariota declared for the NFL draft last week and is vying with Florida State's Jameis Winston to be the first quarterback taken.
