Oklahoma scales down stadium renovation
The University of Oklahoma has scaled down an ambitious renovation of Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium by almost $200 million. From ESPN.com - College Football - Oklahoma scales down stadium renovation
Oklahoma stadium expansion project downsized
Oklahoma is restructuring plans for the expansion of Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The unversity is going ahead with plans for the south end of the stadium while delaying projects in other areas of the stadium.
The original price tag of the project was estimated at $370 million. However, market factors, namely the drop in the price of oil, had made the cost untenable. On Tuesday, OU president David Boren announced at a Board of Regents meeting that the project would be done in phases.
David Boren: "We have now decided due to uncertain economic conditions... to approach this Master Plan in phases, not do it all at once."
— Guerin Emig (@GuerinEmig) March 10, 2015
Basically, OU dropping price tag of total stadium renovation to south end zone only from $370 mil to $160 mil. Boren: "Focused and frugal."
— Guerin Emig (@GuerinEmig) March 10, 2015 A covered upper concourse is to be built on the south side of the stadium as well as new suites. In addition to those features, space for the university was to be added to the north side of the stadium as well as west-side upper deck renovations.
An expanded weight room is still part of the south end zone plans.
Here are the new stadium renderings for the updated renovation plan. http://ift.tt/189rJqf
— Carey Murdock (@CareyWWLS) March 10, 2015 The south project is set to be complete before the 2016 season. According to the Oklahoman, the revised plan calls for 28 suites to be added to the stadium and all have been sold. Bond funds for the project were initially estimated at $250 million, but the revised estimation is now $117 million for this phase.

Alabama's Nick Saban pens letter to NFL scouts for QB Phillip Sims, who transferred in 2012
Quarterback Phillip Sims may have transferred from Alabama in 2012, but he never lost the respect of coach Nick Saban.
Saban wrote a letter to NFL scouts, a letter that was obtained by Rivals site TideSports.com, which painted a glowing picture of Sims, who has been working out for NFL scouts as the draft approaches.
"I believe Phillip Sims has the mental acumen and physical tools to be an asset for a team in the National Football League," Saban wrote. "He is hard-working, driven, tough and a coachable player."
Sims, who was rated the No. 2 pro-style quarterback prospect in 2010, spent two seasons with the Tide before losing the starting quarterback race to AJ McCarron and opting to transfer.
Sims spent a year at Virginia, made four starts and threw for 1,263 yards and nine touchdowns in 2012 before being declared academically ineligible in May 2013.
Sims told AL.com that as he was weighing his options that summer, Saban opened the door for him to come back to Alabama. Alabama wasn’t offering a scholarship for the 2013 season he had to sit out, but Saban did say he’d have the opportunity to compete for the starting role in 2014.
Sims passed, took a scholarship at Division II Winston-Salem State, sat out the 2013 season, and went on to throw for 1,560 yards and 15 touchdowns with just four interceptions while splitting time this past season.
However, there were no sour feelings between Sims and Alabama, and after Sims exhausted his eligibility, he kept in contact. That contact as paid off.
Sims was not invited to the NFL combine last month, but did have a stellar pro day at Wake Forest and piqued the interest of many NFL scouts. There’s no doubt that Saban’s words will only help Sims’ cause.
"I found him to be a quick study who was always ready and eager to learn," Saban wrote. "He is a special young man who always followed direction and did things the right way. He was a natural leader both in the classroom and on the field, won numerous Scout Team Player of the Week awards, and was well liked by his peers and coaches. Phillip also served as a member of our leadership team and won the Ozzie Newsome Award.
"I stand behind Phillip and wholeheartedly endorse him as a player and as a man."

Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard hospitalized after heart attack
Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard was taken by ambulance Monday afternoon to Allen Hospital in Waterloo. He suffered a heart attack while watching his daughters compete in the Girls Varsity Invitational track meet on the UNI Campus.
Pollard spent Monday night in the hospital for observation and treatment. He remains hospitalized at Allen today.
Iowa State President Steven Leath has appointed Senior Associate Athletics Director David Harris the acting AD while Pollard recuperates.
Pollard is in his 10th year as Iowa State's athletic director. In October, he was fined $25,000 and reprimanded by the Big 12 after criticizing the officiating in a loss to Oklahoma State. In his postgame rant, Pollard called for increased accountability after poor decisions.
At the end of the first half, Oklahoma State was given a touchdown after a replay review when it appeared RB Desmond Roland may not have made it into the end zone.

Florida State files motion to dismiss TItle IX suit by Winston accuser
Florida State is seeking to dismiss the Title IX lawsuit brought against it by the woman who accused Jameis Winston of sexual assault.
Winston was never criminally charged with sexual assault and the retired Florida State Supreme Court justice assigned to his Florida State code of conduct hearing ruled evidence didn't show he was responsible for any violations of the school's code of conduct.
"Nothing about FSU's handling of this matter was unreasonable …" the filing said.
The motion, filed late Monday evening, was FSU's response to a federal lawsuit filed in January in the U.S. District Court's Middle District of Florida.
Its 23 pages document some of the steps FSU said it took to help Kinsman, including the use of two victim's advocates, who are bound by confidentiality laws.
"Far from being deliberately indifferent to Kinsman, FSU provided her the services of its confidential Victim Advocate Program within hours of her alleged sexual assault and continuously thereafter …" FSU's filing said.
The woman filed the lawsuit in early January, alleging that the school didn't properly investigate the matter. Florida State's handling of the investigation came under scrutiny throughout the entire saga, as attorneys for the accuser maintained the university didn't follow Title IX protocol.
The school maintains in the filing it didn't know about the allegations against Winston until November 2013, the same timeline the university detailed in an open letter of how it handled the accusation released in October.
The woman is no longer enrolled at Florida State and the lawsuit said she was forced to leave campus because of Florida State's indifference. The university countered in its dismissal, saying media reports led to backlash against her.
"Regrettably, the media's reporting of Kinsman's allegations led to an Internet and social media backlash — harassment that FSU did not cause, in an environment that FSU could not control …" the university's filing said. "Here, of course, FSU controls neither the Internet nor the vicious trolls who allegedly used it to harass Kinsman."

Cal DE Brennan Scarlett to transfer and Stanford is reportedly an option
Brennan Scarlett is transferring from Cal, and he could be heading to the program's biggest rival.
Cal coach Sonny Dykes confirmed the defensive end's departure on Monday and, well, he did it succintly with a "Gone" per InsideBayArea.com.
Scarlett's Cal career has been plagued by injuries and he played in five games last season before he tore his ACL.
He'll be graduate transfer and is eligible at his new program immediately following his graduation in May. His new program could also be Stanford, where his brother Cameron just signed to play. Cameron was a four-star recruit in the class of 2015 as an all-purpose back and the No. 1 recruit in the state of Oregon according to Rivals. InsideBayArea.com cited a source who said Brennan planned to join his brother.
For Scarlett to be able to transfer to a Pac-12 foe, Cal has to sign off on the transfer. When asked about any possible approval, Dykes was succinct again.
"Don't know anything about it," he said. "Don't care, don't know."
Scarlett has been a key contributor for the Bears when he's been on the field. He just hasn't been on the field much. In the five games he played in and started in 2014, he had two sacks and 10 tackles. He missed the entire season in 2013 and in 2012, his most active season, he played in nine games and had 40 tackles.

Four-star recruit: OU SAE members 'very uneducated people'
Four-star recruit Jean Delance called the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity members captured on video saying a racist chant "very uneducated people."
Delance was verbally committted to Oklahoma, but after the video surfaced on Sunday night of the fraternity members chanting on a bus, he decommitted from the Sooners on Monday for reasons he said had nothing to do with the football team.
"Very uneducated people. I wouldn’t want my son or child to go there or to anywhere like that," Delance told CBS DFW. "It was just very disturbing to me I didn’t like it,”
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and football team members protested the chant on Monday morning and on Monday afternoon, team members wore all black and the football practice consisted of a prayer and a silent vigil.
The fraternity was banned from campus and all members had until midnight on Monday to move out of the house.
Delance's mother also told CBS DFW that she's had racial issues in her family and told her son that he needed to do what he felt was right. Per the site, the video was emailed to Delance and he showed it to his mother.
“I’ve had family history in racial issues, inequality, and Jean knows these things are serious to us, and the first thing I said was what do you want to do,” Altavian Delance told the site.
Perhaps not-so-coincidentally, Jean Delance, the No. 12 offensive tackle in the country according to Rivals and the No. 12 class of 2016 prospect in the state of Texas, tweeted he got an offer from Alabama Monday afternoon.
Officially offered by the University Of Alabama!! #RollTideRoll 🐘🐘 http://ift.tt/1wmfAsW
