UNC QB Marquise Williams to miss spring practices with hip injury
Backup Mitch Trubisky will take all the first team reps in Williams’ absence.
Just because Williams isn’t suiting up doesn’t mean the coaches don’t expect the same type of effort out of him. Quarterbacks coach Keith Heckendorf told GoHeels.com, that he wants Williams taking mental reps while the team goes through drills.
"I want [Williams] to get as much out of spring ball as anyone,” Heckendorf said. “When he walks off the practice field I want him to be exhausted mentally from concentrating on every read and every play on every progression on every defense."
Heckendorf also noted that Williams was still the starter, but that the competition was not yet closed.
Williams and Trubisky were in a fierce competition for the starting role at the beginning of the 2014 season and split time at starter through the first month of the season before Williams eventually won the job. Williams threw for 3,068 yards, 21 touchdowns and nine interceptions and ran for 788 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2014.

Illinois staffer Ryan Cubit sentenced to two years' probation for DUI
Additionally, according to The News-Gazette, Cubit – the son of Illinois offensive coordinator Bill Cubit – will have to wear an alcohol-monitoring device for three months, perform 100 hours of public service, pay a $1,000 fine and “attend a victim impact panel.”
The charge stemmed from Cubit being pulled over on Oct. 12 at 12:30 a.m. in Champaign. His blood-alcohol content was 0.12 percent.
If the 32-year-old Cubit completes the period of supervision without any hiccups, the incident will not appear on his record.
Cubit received a citation for underage drinking in Michigan in 2003 and Judge Richard Klaus said that incident, coupled with the DUI, gave him “pause.”
“I know it was 12 years ago and you’ve had nothing since,” Klaus said. “Given that, and this, if you show up in a courtroom again for anything related to alcohol, you are going to be in trouble. I believe you when you say you are never going to let this happen again, but the SCRAM monitor is insurance for the court.”
Cubit issued an apology to the court and said that he has already performed “more than 80 hours” of public service since his arrest.
“I made a mistake. I’m truly sorry,” Cubit said. “I’ve learned a lot from this and just want to move on.”
Before joining the Illinois staff in March 2014, Cubit spent five seasons on his father’s staff at Western Michigan, including a season as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2012. Cubit played at Rutgers for a season before following his dad to WMU. He finished his WMU career fifth in school history with 4,729 passing yards.
According to Illinois’ website, Cubit’s role as director of football student-athlete development includes managing and coordinating “all on-campus admissions for incoming freshmen and transfers,” performing “preliminary transcript evaluations for those prospective student-athletes” and managing “all official and unofficial visits for football recruits.”

Yes folks the rumors are true, Steve Spurrier has joined Twitter.
The South Carolina Head Ball Coach who has been entertaining us for years with his not-so-subtle jabs at Clemson and his witty press conference quips can now drop those gems at his leisure thanks to the wonders of social media.
It's true! http://ift.tt/1DwGiwi

1rst off/ Hello to all Gamecocks! I want to thank all past players at Duke at UF and UofSC and all present and future players #Heresc
— Coach Steve Spurrier (@SC_HBC) March 2, 2015 But we hope once he gets into the groove — the befuddled look on Spurrier’s face in the above pic looks like he’s making his first transition from the Zach Morris oversized mobile to a smartphone — he’ll be the best thing that’s happened to Twitter since the @midnight hashtag (or whatever you think the best thing on Twitter is).

Former Rutgers captain, now police officer, saves life of 3-month-old boy
Late last week, Pilch and another officer saved the life of a 3-month old boy who had stopped breathing.
Pilch was the first officer to arrive on the scene following a 9-1-1 call on Thursday afternoon. According to NJ.com, Pilch performed CPR on the unconscious boy, whose skin “had turned blue.” Officer Michael Rountree then arrived on the scene and helped Pilch revive the child while receiving CPR instructions from dispatcher Cara Brandenburg.
Thanks to their efforts, the baby’s color returned and he was able to breathe on his own.
The officers' efforts worked: the baby's color returned to a healthy pinkish-white as he began to breathe on his own once more. Then he started crying. Officers continued to administer oxygen until ambulances from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and JFK Hospital arrived. The baby was taken to St. Peter's University Hospital for treatment.
"I am proud to commend Dispatcher Brandenburg and Officers Pilch and Rountree for their quick actions that made a difference," said Piscataway Police Chief Richard Ivone.
Pilch arrived at Rutgers as a walk-on in 2001 and worked his way into the starting lineup as a fullback and tight end. After catching 24 passes for 296 yards, Pilch bulked up and moved to center as a senior, earned the starting role and was named one of three team captains.
Pilch, who played at Piscataway High School, also earned the Scholar Athlete Award, the Paul Robeson Award for leadership and was a three-time Academic All-American during his time at Rutgers.

Arkansas coach Bret Bielema takes car away from player charged with DWI
He took away Beanum’s car.
In conjunction with Beanum’s mother, Sandra, Bielema restricted Beanum’s vehicle use to driving to the Fred Smith Football Center and class.
“He has to go through the court system and obviously he’ll have ramifications, but I’ve basically banned the use of his car for any time other than when he’s coming over here or going to academics,” Bielema said. “His car is to remain parked. If he gets pulled over for running through a stoplight at 10:30 at night then he’s violated my rules and there’s going to be an even bigger consequence.”
Beanum was driving with his bright headlights on around 2:26 a.m. Feb. 22 when police pulled him over. Police found an open bottle of brandy on the backseat and said Beanum smelled of alcohol.
He was due in court on Feb. 23, but his legal matter has not yet been resolved.

Report: UNC exploited grad school admissions to gain eligibility for student-athletes
According to a report by the News & Observer, UNC admitted student-athletes into the graduate program in order to keep them eligible for an extra semester.
The News & Observer detailed the admittance of former cornerback and kick returner Michael Waddell, who had a low grade point average and no GRE score, yet was admitted into the graduate studies program for a semester so he could gain a final year of eligibility. Waddell went on to be drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the fourth round in 2003.
He never attended classes, flunked out and became just another black mark for a university that was already scorched by a university-wide academic scandal that kept student-athletes eligible by enrolling them in “paper classes,” which required little to no attendance and just a paper at the end of the term to complete the course.
According to the latest report, Cheryl Thomas, the graduate school’s admissions director from 2002 to 2010, said that at least once a year the athletic department would contact her looking to place an athlete in the graduate program in order to save their eligibility. The other name she mentioned was Justin Knox, a basketball player who had graduated from the University of Alabama in 2010 but still had one year of eligibility remaining.
Knox was a good student, but left to pursue a professional career in Europe after his eligibility was up. He never received a degree.
A report released in October revealed that approximately 1,500 student-athletes at UNC were syphoned into bogus classes in order to preserve their athletic eligibility. The improprieties went on for 18 years and were far greater than anything the university had previously reported.
At the time, both the university and the NCAA released a statement about the infractions, but did not say when or if sanctions would be forthcoming. This latest news about improprieties in the graduate school will just be another factor to consider when determining punishment.
