Couple allegedly has Valentine's Day romp in Neyland Stadium press box
According to The Tennessean, a photo of two people – presumably Tennessee students – getting frisky in the press box at Neyland Stadium circulated on a Snapchat account called “Volnationsnaps” on Valentine's Day. A screenshot of the Snapchat photo then reportedly made its way to Instagram, but has since been deleted.
The photo apparently had a caption that read: “Happy valentine from neylend stadium.” I’ll refrain from making any academic-related Tennessee jokes for the time being.
Anyway, The Tennessean isn’t sure how the two made their way to the press box, but there was “a lunch held Saturday in the stadium’s west club as part of the university’s Winter Family Weekend,” so that could have been their way to sneak in. Or, you know, they could have hopped a fence the old-fashioned way.
The University’s police department did not receive any reports of wrongdoing from the stadium over the weekend. Additionally, the university had no comment as of now on this ongoing mystery.

Georgia coach says he agrees with Roquan Smith decision not to sign an NLI
It sparked a debate about the fairness of the NLI and whether players should actually sign them.
Smith, instead, signed scholarship and grant-in-aid papers with Georgia last Friday.
Macon County coach Larry Harold said one Georgia coach agreed with Smith’s decision to forgo the NLI.
“The UGA coaches were fine with Roquan not signing an NLI — actually one of the coaches said that if their son is good enough, they’re not going to let him sign an NLI either,” Harold told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“I’m not going to say which UGA coach it was. You’re going to have to ask them. He was like ‘Coach, if my son is good enough and is in the same position as Roquan, I’m not going to let him sign an NLI. I understand exactly why you’re doing this.’ They get it. So I guess the buzz is going around.”
Smith is the first known high-level recruit to refuse to sign an NLI in favor of a grant-in-aid award. His actions could set off a trend of high-level recruits that more or less commit to school, but allow themselves wiggle room should circumstances change.
High school recruits are not required to sign an NLI to play college football. In fact, the NLI is more beneficial for the school than it is the player. It allows the school to lock in a player and gives the player no recourse should there be a change in his situation, a change in coaching or simply a change of heart.
Signing grant-in-aid papers means that Smith is guaranteed the same financial benefits of an NLI without the one-sided restrictions. In fact, Smith could opt to attend another school before he attends his first summer classes. But Harold said Georgia fans shouldn’t worry about that.
“He’s 100-percent Georgia Bulldog,” Harold told the AJC. “His recruiting is over. It’s finished. He’s ready to move on to the next chapter of his life. His family is ready to move on. It’s just a good day. Everything is finalized. He’s relaxed. Now he can finish out his high school days and report to UGA this summer.”

Indiana football players make a short snow video to the 'Frozen' theme song (Video)
It’s cold in Bloomington, Ind., right now.
Like, pile on the Snuggies, grab some spiked hot chocolate and nuzzle up next to the fire, cold.
So, redshirt freshman offensive tackle Delroy Baker, who is originally from Florida, thought it would be a good time to tease what he calls his “Frozen Mixtape.”
We can only hope this small snippet of wonderful is stretched out into a longer video that includes slow motion running in a snow-covered field and scene where both players, hands clasped and arms outstretched, spin each other in circles and snow falls lightly on top of their smiling faces.
That would make this video truly complete.
Yeah, so how many days until football season?

Minnesota is definitely a whole lot different than Mansfield, Texas, – the hometown of Gophers linebacker Everett Williams. Despite the differences, it looks like Williams, who recently finished his first season with the program, has adapted to his new surroundings well.
On Sunday, the 6-foot-1, 230-pound Williams tweeted several photos of his ice fishing trip along with several teammates and Gophers linebackers coach Mike Sherels.

Jameis Winston undecided about throwing during NFL combine
Former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is undecided about throwing during the NFL scouting combine on Saturday, according to his quarterback coach.
"It's a game-time decision," George Whitfield Jr. told USA Today. "He's a very big believer in himself, so it'll be interesting. He's prepared to do it. Whether he goes in and does it will probably be determined a couple of days from now.
"At this time, he hasn't made a decision."
Winston made headlines this weekend after a picture of him with a rather large belly surfaced and made the rounds on social media. Whitfield told USA Today the picture was from five weeks ago and that Winston had lost 12-15 pounds since. He said teams shouldn’t be worried that Winston won’t be in shape for the combine.
Jameis looks out of shape. http://ift.tt/1FcshcH
— Captain Obvious (@HashtagObvious) February 14, 2015 "He's always had a thing about pushing his stomach out," Whitfield said. "I hadn't seen the pic until Saturday. You smile about it because people got it and they jumped on it. When I saw him later, Jameis laughed and said, 'I'm going to be out in front of the world in a couple of days anyway.'"
Winston’s work on the field at the combine likely will take a backseat to the questions he’ll have to answer off it. NFL teams will pepper Winston about rape allegations that followed him throughout college as well as several other off-filed incidents, including stealing crab legs from a grocery store and shouting obscenities in the Florida State student union. Both situations earned Winston a suspension.
Many analysts believe Winston will be the top player taken in the draft. If he doesn’t throw at the combine — fellow top quarterback Marcus Mariota won’t throw because of injury — he’ll fall in line with a long list of quarterbacks that opted to throw in a more controlled environment during their school or private pro days where they could throw to their own receivers.
Still, Winston’s on-field acumen has never really been in doubt. It’s a question of whether a team such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which have the first pick, feel comfortable making Winston, and his troubled past, the face of their franchise.

New Alabama State coach Brian Jenkins subject of abuse allegations
Former Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins is under fire after players and former assistant coaches said his program violated multiple NCAA rules and perpetuated an environment of abuse.
Jenkins was named the new head coach at Alabama State University in December, but the allegations from his former program have raised question about his current employment status.
According to the Montgomery Advertiser, who spoke with more than a dozen former players and four former coaches, allegation leveled against Jenkins include:
Improper benefits provided to players;
Improper housing arrangements;
Continued and extensive violations of the NCAA weekly practice time limits;
Failure to pay three assistant coaches that resulted in a federal lawsuit;
And, bullying of staff and players with retaliation against those who spoke up.
Bethune-Cookman assistant athletic director Tony O'Neal told the paper that any of the allegations that needed to reported were reported the NCAA.
Among those allegations, players said Jenkins threated linebacker Rahdeese Alcutt and defensive end Brandin Hudson with a steak knife during a pregame meal.
According to a letter Alcutt provided at the request of Bethune-Cookman officials as part of the investigation, a teammate accidentally spilled a drink and Alcutt began laughing. Because Jenkins doesn't allow talking at the pre-game meals, the commotion irked the head coach, Alcutt said.
"At this time, Brian Jenkins walked over to me and picked up a knife and pointed it at me and (Hudson) saying, 'Do I have to cut your (expletive) throats to get you to be quiet?" Alcutt wrote in the letter. Jenkins then stared at the two players for several seconds, he said.
The paper also noted three former assistants said Jenkins violated the number of practice hours allowed by the NCAA and the permissible number of days with contact.
NCAA rules mandate no more than 20 practice hours per week and no more than four hours per day. Players also must have at least one day off per week.
Former Bethune-Cookman offensive lineman Blake Pritchard told the paper the team was practicing 26 to 28 hours per week. And former tight end Isaac Virgin and Pritchard said the team would have two-a-day practices during the fall that would last, in total, up to eight hours.
But in fall camp in 2013, two weeks prior to Bethune-Cookman's first game, things finally came to a head, the players and coaches said.
After Jenkins surprised the team with a 1 a.m. practice — its third practice in 18 hours — there was a mutiny, the assistant coaches said. According to Pritchard, Alcutt and seven other players, the entire Bethune-Cookman team refused to leave the locker room for the next day's practice.
"We just had enough," former receiver Justin Henderson said. "People just don't understand how bad it was. I know it's football and everybody's supposed to be tough and all that, but man, this was a damn three-a-day we just had. That's just crazy."
Following the refusal to practice, the players said Jenkins locked the weight room and locker room and wouldn't allow anyone in for the next two days.
Several players also told the paper they were left without housing for parts of the year because the university only paid rent through May, leaving many players to sleep on the floors of the houses of teammates and one player claimed he slept in his truck.
While many assistant coaches interviewed said the housing issue was more about the university than Jenkins, several players blamed Jenkins for not doing more or speaking up to the university about the housing problems.
Alabama State interim athletic director Melvin Hines said he knew about the allegations and that he made ASU trustees and ASU president Gwendolyn Boyd aware of the allegations before Jenkins’ hiring on Dec. 16. But board members and trustees told the Montgomery Advertiser they were not aware of the allegations.
Jenkins was 46-14 during his five seasons at Bethune-Cookman and was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Coach of the Year three times. His contract with Alabama State was approved following a Feb. 5 board meeting.

Conference USA becomes latest conference to offer cost-of-attendance scholarships
The conference’s 14 athletic directors decided on the move during its winter meetings a couple weeks ago, but only now are the individiual schools beginning to announce whether they plan to participate.
“What we did in Conference USA is we voted that each institution will give cost of attendance, but you don’t have to do it,” Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick told the Herald-Dispatch. “You can do it to the max or you can do it for some sports, but not other sports. What we at Marshall have chosen to do to be competitive in all sports is to provide our student-athletes, starting with the 2015-16 year, with cost of attendance. We estimate it will cost us approximately $700,000.”
During the NCAA's annual convention in January, the NCAA’s Power Five conferences — ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC — voted to redefine the athletic scholarship so that it covered more than tuition, room, board, books and fees. Now, additional money has been added to scholarships to cover things such as transportation and personal expenses.
Hamrick told the Herald-Dispatch that each Conference USA school could decide how much it was willing to offer student-athletes.
“Each individual school’s financial aid office determines what the cost of attendance is, based upon a federal financial aid formula, so all the schools are different,” Hamrick said. “One school can give this amount and one can give another. It’s just based on where they live. We haven’t gotten the final range at Marshall per athlete, but it will be anywhere from $2,700 to $3,000 per year.”
All of the other conferences in the Group of Five — American Athletic, Mid-America, Mountain West and Sun Belt — all have said they will allow cost-of-attendance scholarships, but like Conference USA, will allow individual schools to determine how to dole them out and how much to pay.
Group of Five conferences were not mandated to add cost-of-attendance scholarships, but realized it had to do so in order to stay competitive with the bigger institutions.
“If another school is going to give a kid extra money and we’re not, there isn’t a chance that we’ll get him,” Hamrick told the Herald-Dispatch. “Recruits ask ‘Do you provide cost-of-attendance?’ Do you think if (coach) Doc Holliday says no, he’s going to get some of the players that he got in that recruiting class? For some of those kids coming from difficult backgrounds, that extra money per year is huge, so they can live while on campus.”

3.5 months after broken leg, Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell is running (Video)
Ole Miss star wideout Laquon Treadwell suffered a gruesome leg injury as he headed toward the goal line against Auburn on Nov. 1.
Instead of what could have been a game-winning score, Treadwell fumbled just before the goal line and fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle in the process.
Only three-and-a-half months later, the 6-foot-2, 229-pound Treadwell is back on his feet, as he displayed in a video posted on Instagram.
That’s Treadwell on the left running along with Rebels’ linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche, who broke his ankle the week before against LSU on Oct. 25.
The video is a seriously good sign for Ole Miss as the Rebels head into spring practice. While it’s unclear if Treadwell, who caught 48 passes for 632 yards and five touchdowns before the injury, will be cleared to participate in spring drills, it looks like he could be good to go by the time the season rolls around in August.
Ole Miss will have a new starting quarterback in 2015 and a healthy Treadwell will certainly help the team’s new signal caller.

North Carolina paid Duke over $27,000 for spray paint damages
North Carolina paid Duke $27,170.44 for damages done with spray paint to the Blue Devils’ facilities following the Tar Heels’ 45-20 win on Nov. 20.
According to the News & Observer, $22,028.44 of the money went to replacing the carpet in Duke’s visitor’s locker room.
Per an open records request obtained by the News & Observer, Duke associate athletic director Gerald Harrison told UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham in an email that much of the carpet was not able to be cleaned.
According to an email sent from Gerald Harrison, the Duke associate athletic director who oversees football, to UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham, 60 carpet tiles were spray painted, and they weren’t able to be cleaned. That required a full carpet replacement throughout the facility, Harrison wrote.
Additional money was used to remove spray paint from Duke’s practice field and to paint the practice facility and “three panels in Wallace Wade Stadium.” In these instances, North Carolina players spray-painted “U-N-C” on the walls.
Cunningham and UNC head coach Larry Fedora originally apologized to Duke in a statement issued Nov. 24. Cunningham said he called Duke AD Kevin White, while Fedora reached out to Duke coach David Cutcliffe. Cutcliffe apparently never called Fedora back.
From the News & Observer:
In a formal apology letter to Duke athletic director Kevin White on Feb. 3, Cunningham said he was disappointed that Duke football coach David Cutcliffe never returned UNC coach Larry Fedora’s apology call, which came the Friday following the game.
Additionally, at the end of his letter to Duke, Cunningham decided to include a photo of spray paint damage to UNC’s South Building where “four pillars were tagged with the letters D-U-K-E on Feb. 19, 2014, before the Duke-UNC basketball game.”
“The University of North Carolina bore the cost of sandblasting these pillars and did not make public comments of the transgression. I acknowledge we have no idea who did this, but I simply included it to demonstrate that all fans, teams, coaches, students, etc. need to appreciate and respect the rivalry.”
Cunningham and Fedora split the costs with each sending personal checks for $13,585.22 to Duke in January while the UNC players completed community service.
