Duke suspends two players indefinitely
Alls, a wide receiver, and Douglas, a defensive back, are both redshirt sophomores. Blue Devils head coach David Cutcliffe said in a release that the suspensions are “from game competition” and are “indefinite.”
“The suspension is indefinite in length until the student-athletes uphold the academic, athletic and community standards required of a member of the Blue Devil program,” the release says.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Alls played in all 13 games for Duke in 2014 season and registered two catches for 14 yards. Alls also registered five total tackles on special teams. According to the News & Observer, Alls worked his way into the starting lineup during spring ball.
After converting from wide receiver to defensive back, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Douglas played in 12 games last season and had one tackle.
Both players redshirted in 2013.
Coming off a 9-4 record in 2014, the Blue Devils will open their 2015 season on the road at Tulane on Sept. 3.

Syracuse hit with five years probation, vacated wins in NCAA probe
As a result, the football program was placed on five years probation for violations that date back to 2001. The NCAA also vacated the football program’s wins from games played with eligible students in the 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.
Several of the violations were self-reported by the university, but the NCAA found other transgressions as well.
Syracuse discovered and self-reported 10 violations in this case, which primarily involved men’s basketball but also football. The self-reported violations, dating back to 2001, include academic misconduct, extra benefits, the failure to follow its drug testing policy and impermissible booster activity. The other violations found included impermissible academic assistance and services, the head basketball coach’s failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and monitor his staff, and the school’s lack of control over its athletics program.
The NCAA said that the violations involved academics, issues with drug testing policies and improper relationships with a booster.
From 2001-02 through 2011-12, the school failed to exercise proper control over the administration of its athletics program and used deficient monitoring systems, which allowed violations to occur involving academics, compliance with its own drug testing policy as well as staff and student relationships with a booster. Students and staff committed violations freely or did not know that their conduct violated NCAA rules. Many of the violations were not detected for years. Staff members did not ask and ensure that relationships and activities with the booster met NCAA requirements. In at least one instance, a staff member did not report potential academic violations due to concern of retaliation.
Part of the academic misconduct included three football players from 2005 through 2007. Per the NCAA’s release, a part-time tutor “certified that the students completed the required number of hours for an internship” when he “had limited knowledge of activities completed.”
Football players were also involved with a booster who provided “more than $8,000 in cash” to three football players for volunteering at a YMCA.

Syracuse's response to the penalties, in full, can be read here.

Ineligible receiver downfield rule change proposal tabled
The ineligible receiver downfield rule won't be changing for 2015.
According to a release by the NCAA, the NCAA rules committee tabled a proposal that would limit the cushion linemen and players declared ineligible would have to go downfield. Currently, there is a three-yard cushion. The rule change would have dropped it to one yard, which is like the NFL rule.
Panel members, who met on a teleconference Thursday, felt more discussion about the rule should take place within the college football community before a final decision is made. Additionally, the panel was concerned about the lack of participation in the rules process by head coaches, both in the survey process and comment period. Specifically, while 57 percent of Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches supported this proposed change in the initial survey, only 65 FBS head coaches participated in the survey. Also, while 54 percent of FBS head coaches were supportive of the rule change in the comment period, only 46 FBS head coaches offered comments.
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn was an opponent of the rule, saying it would stifle creativity. The three-yard cushion is beneficial for offenses to throw delayed passes off of run fakes or option reads. With the three yards, linemen can pull a strong run block fake before the quarterback elects to pass and not be ruled too far downfield.
The current rule will be a "point of emphasis" for the 2015 season, according to the NCAA, meaning that it will be looked at closely by officials.
The following rule changes for the 2015 were approved. The most notable is the addition of an eighth official on a more widespread basis.
An eight-person officiating system will be allowed if a conference or school chooses. A center judge was used experimentally in several conferences during the past two seasons. The benefits of having the extra official include getting the ball spotted more efficiently and detecting holding and hands-to-the-face penalties.
A 15-yard unsportsmanlike foul will be called on players who push or pull opponents off piles – for example, after fumbles.
If a helmet comes off a defensive player in the final minute of a half, 10 seconds will be run off the game clock, and the play clock will be set at 40 seconds. Previously, the play clock was set to 25 seconds.
Officials will return to giving teams an initial sideline warning when their personnel move out of the designated team bench area.
Officials will treat illegal equipment issues – such as jerseys tucked under the shoulder pads or exposed back pads – by making the player leave the field for at least one play. The equipment must be corrected for the player to return to the game. The player may remain in the game if his team takes a timeout to correct the equipment issue.
Instant replay reviews will be allowed to see if a kicking team player blocked the receiving team before the ball traveled 10 yards on onside-kick plays.
Teams must be provided at least 22 minutes prior to kickoff for pregame warm-ups. Teams may mutually agree to shorten this time period.
If the play clock runs to 25 seconds before the ball is ready for play, officials will reset the clock to 40 seconds. Previously, the play clock was reset when it reached 20 seconds.
Based on research findings of the National Football League, non-standard/overbuilt facemasks will be prohibited.

VOD: Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson recalls emotional struggles after 2012 Fiesta Bowl
Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson finished his time with the Cardinal as its all-time career leader in points scored, but Williamson’s career hit a dark time following the 2012 Fiesta Bowl.
Austin Meyer chronicled Williamson’s trials following two missed kicks in the game, including one in overtime, that cost the Cardinal the win. It tells the story of depression, fear and ultimately perseverance in a 6-minute YouTube documentary called “It Comes Down To You.”
The video tells an all-too-common story of the ridicule college athletes face on social media and the devastating effects it can have. Williamson, who exhausted his eligibility after this past season, ultimately came out better for the ordeal, but that’s not always the case for some athletes.
This is a great short documentary that paints a good lesson that college athletes are still just people.

Rich Rodriguez didn't talk to Anu Solomon for two weeks after Fiesta Bowl
The Wildcats were down 38-30 and facing a third-and-goal with no timeouts in the waning moments of the game when Solomon, a freshman, inexplicably took a sack instead of throwing the ball away. Instead of giving his team another chance to tie the game on fourth down, Solomon was unable to get another play off as time expired.
Solomon threw for 335 yards and a touchdown in the game, but he completed only 28-of-49 passes and threw two interceptions in the loss. The loss was a tough one to get over for Solomon.
“It hurt the next couple weeks,” Solomon said per The Daily Wildcat. “I say it to myself, ‘Anu, you looked sloppy at times.’ Watching those films, watching those sloppy mistakes I made, I was so disappointed in myself.”
With spring practice already underway and the ankle injury that bothered him late in the season fully healed, the Fiesta Bowl loss is in the rearview mirror for Solomon. Still, Rodriguez, back on speaking terms with his quarterback, says Solomon has plenty to work on.
“He’s a little big bigger and obviously he’s got a little bit more confidence in him now, which is good,” Rodriguez said. “It’s a big spring for him, too, because he knows there’s a lot of things he can work on to get better.”
Solomon says he’s faster and stronger than he was last year, but still is working on his “pocket presence, accuracy and leadership.”
Solomon threw for 3,793 yards and 28 touchdowns while running for 552 yards and two additional scores as a redshirt freshman. A faster and stronger version of him has to strike a bit of fear in the hearts of defensive coordinators across the Pac-12.
