Penn State's James Franklin will not settle for your 'B' grade
Oversharing is a rampant problem on social media and Penn State defensive back Bryant Harper learned the consequences of that Monday.
Harper tweeted out that he received a "B" on his first anatomy exam and he was proud of the grade because he didn’t actually study for the test.
Unfortunately for Harper, coach James Franklin is an avid @HarperJR21 follower and decided to chime in on his player’s boasting.
@HarperJR21 you didn't study huh, interesting, guess I need to up your study hall hours! We don't settle for B's!
— James Franklin (@coachjfranklin) January 26, 2015 Franklin was probably kidding (or was he?), but it’s a good lesson to always think about what you tweet even if it seems like a good thing.
Harper quickly blamed the lack of studying on a scheduling issue.
@coachjfranklin forget when the exam was coach minor difficulty in my scheduling!
— Bryant Harper (@HarperJR21) January 26, 2015 He should have hastagged it “#collegeadvisors #amirite.”
Sadly it’s now dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t for Harper. If he says he didn’t study, he gets extra study hall hours. If he says he did study and still got a B, he gets extra study hall hours.
Best just to delete your Twitter account now and hang your head in shame.

Michigan RB Justice Hayes to transfer for fifth year
Michigan’s Justice Hayes will head elsewhere for his final season of college football.
Hayes, a running back, announced Monday that he will graduate from Michigan in April and pursue an opportunity as a graduate transfer. Hayes said that new Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh invited him back for his fifth year with the program, but he decided it was in his best interests to leave Ann Arbor.
The four years I have spent at this institution have brought some great memories that I will cherish… http://t.co/HJHPr6R15A
— Justice Hayes (@810hay) January 26, 2015
I will always be a Michigan man fans. I love u all. I have had a great 4 years at this school and wouldn't change it for the world! #goblue
— Justice Hayes (@810hay) January 26, 2015 “The four years I have spent at this institution have brought some great memories that I will cherish forever,” Hayes wrote on Instagram. “The fact that I will be graduating from the University of Michigan in April will be meritorious. I have earned team captain on numerous occasions, won respect from coaches and players, and most importantly played my heart out every Saturday. I truly appreciate the offer from Coach Harbaugh to allow me to return for my 5th year, but I have decided that I will choose another college to play football as a graduate student.
“I'm not an emotional person, but a few days back I cried because I knew it was time for me to move on. There will be people out there that disagree with this tough decision I made, but they won't be the ones that cut me checks in the future. I just want to continue to get closer to God, take care of my family, and be happy.”
The 5-foot-10, 194-pound Hayes ran for 213 yards on 48 carries in 2014 – both career highs – as a backup for the 5-7 Wolverines. He also caught 11 passes for 65 yards on the season.
Previously, Hayes gained 89 yards and scored one touchdown on 20 carries combined in 2012 and 2013 following a redshirt season in 2011. He also caught six passes for 40 yards in 2013.
Despite Hayes’ departure, Michigan still has some solid depth at running back in 2015. De’Veon Smith (519 yards) and Derrick Smith (471 yards), both juniors, will return. Additionally, USC transfer Ty Isaac, a redshirt sophomore, will be eligible to play while redshirt junior Drake Johnson (361 yards) rehabs from a torn ACL suffered in the season finale against Ohio State.

Report: ESPN, NFL want CFP to change date of semifinal games
ESPN apparently isn’t too happy about it.
According to the Sports Business Journal, ESPN executives “are lobbying CFP officials” to move next season’s semifinal games – the Capital One Orange Bowl and the Goodyear Cotton Bowl – from New Year’s Eve to Saturday Jan. 2, 2016.
On New Year’s Eve, ESPN’s broadcasts would compete with a bevy of countdown broadcasts that bring in the New Year. With ratings in mind, ESPN is hoping for a change.
From the SBJ:
Sources say that senior network executives as high up as ESPN President John Skipper are pushing for the change as a way to get better television ratings, but the CFP is unwilling to make such a move because it is committed to the original plan to hold tripleheader bowl games, including the semifinals, on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Despite ESPN’s wishes, the CFP isn’t budging.
“We’ve started a new tradition and we don’t to back away from it now,” said Bill Hancock, the CFP’s executive director.
The championship game drew record ratings (33.4 million viewers), while the semifinals each drew “more than 28 million viewers.” According to the SBJ, “ESPN insiders say they are prepared for double-digit drops in viewership” if the games stay on New Year’s Eve.
On top of the wishes of ESPN, the NFL is mulling the possibility of expanding its playoffs. One of its new playoff games could potentially be moved to Monday, which would “compete directly with the CFP championship.”
Because of this, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly met with CFP commissioners to discuss a potential conflict.
From the SBJ:
Sources say NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell initiated a series of high-level meetings with some of the CFP’s most influential commissioners, including the SEC’s Mike Slive and the Big Ten’s Jim Delany. Goodell approached the commissioners to discuss the potential impact an NFL playoff expansion would have on the CFP championship game.
Additionally, Goodell reportedly “told the college commissioners that any playoff expansion likely would put a wild-card game on Monday night.”
The CFP’s 12-year contract with ESPN has the title game being played on a Monday night and Hancock said the CFP office is opposed to an NFL playoff game being played on the same night.
“We picked Monday night because it was open and it was the best night for our game. We announced that in June 2012,” Hancock said. “We established that our game was going to be on Monday night for 12 years.”

North Carolina and Wake Forest schedule non-conference series
Instead of looking outside the ACC, the two programs will square off in non-conference games – one at Wake Forest on September 14, 2019, and one at UNC on September 25, 2021. Because of the ACC’s scheduling arrangements, the two teams were not scheduled to play one another in those seasons. Now they will, but the game “will not factor into the ACC standings.”
“This is a unique opportunity to play a regional rival in years that fall outside the normal conference rotation,” UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham said. “We have a long history with Wake Forest that has historical value and will generate interest within our fans.”
According to a release from UNC, this home-and-home arrangement is “the first time two members of a Power Five conference have agreed to play each other in a football series originally scheduled as non-conference games.”
North Carolina and Wake Forest have a rivalry that spans more than 100 years. In 105 meetings, the Tar Heels lead the series 68-35-2. The two teams played one another every year from 1944-2004 but now play on an infrequent basis due to the rotating schedule (which is set through 2024) stemming from the conference’s expansion to 14 teams (UNC and Wake are in different divisions).
This agreement also satisfies the ACC’s requirement of each program scheduling at least one power five team in its non-conference slate.
The two programs will meet in conference matchups in 2015 and 2022.

Former Wake Forest lineman Cory Helms transfers to South Carolina
After two seasons of starting on the offensive line for Wake Forest, Cory Helms is headed to the SEC.
Helms, a freshman All-America selection in 2013 who decided to transfer earlier this month, announced Sunday that he will round out his career at South Carolina.
Helms visited South Carolina over the weekend and committed to the program on Sunday afternoon.
Officially decided to join #GameCockNation and finish my football career with @GamecockFB 🐓🐔blessed to be in the #SEC http://ift.tt/1DacMhm
— Cory Helms (@CoryHelms7251) January 25, 2015 Helms started 11 games at center for the Demon Deacons in 2013 before sliding over to left guard for the 2014 season. He will likely have to sit out the 2015 season with the Gamecocks due to NCAA transfer rules, but he told GoGamecocks.com that he and the school will make an appeal to the NCAA for immediate eligibility.
“I’m moving back closer to home because I live with a sick grandmother,” Helms, a native of Alpharetta, Ga., said. “That’s a big reason I’m coming here to be able to come back and help my grandmother.”
Helms took visits to Mississippi State and Texas A&M and had another scheduled for Penn State next weekend. Ultimately, he opted to end the process by choosing South Carolina.
The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Helms told GamecockCentral.com that the team’s depth at center also played a role in his choice.
“They definitely have a big need at center and I feel like I can come in and help them out big time there,” Helms said.
Helms said he bonded well with his future teammates during his visit.
“Everything was great,” Helms said. “The best part was being around the other offensive linemen. It was probably the first time I hung out with other recruits and the group of linemen I will be playing with. I felt like we had a good bond.”
Helms will enroll in May.
South Carolina went 7-6 in 2014.
