Michigan starting OL Graham Glasgow violates probation
Graham Glasgow, a two-year starter on Michigan’s offensive line, violated his probation over the weekend, according to the Detroit News.
Glasgow was put on 12-month probation after pleading guilty to a DUI charge last June following his March arrest. He violated the terms of his probation by registering a .086 on a Breathalyzer test given on Sunday, per court documents.
“According to the 15th District Court online records, Glasgow violated probation for a "failure to abstain from alcohol." The test was administered Sunday, and at "9:59 a.m. Mr. Glasgow admitted he consumed alcohol," the records state.”
At a hearing last June, Glasgow admitted that he drank “10 to 12” Natural Light beers at his house before driving on March 15, 2014. Glasgow, who was suspended for Michigan’s season opener after his arrest, told the court he started to drink at “around 4 p.m.” on that day.
Glasgow said he was driving to a pizza restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor when he was pulled over at 8:39 p.m. He registered a .11 BAC after being pulled over and a .13 BAC at the police station. He was originally charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, but agreed to plead guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge of operating a vehicle while visibly impaired.
Glasgow started 11 games at guard for the Wolverines last season. He also started 13 games at guard and center for the team in 2013. With starting center Jack Miller deciding not to return to the team for his fifth season, Glasgow moved back to the top spot at center during spring practice
Michigan did not have a comment on Glasgow’s status with the team.

Colorado starting DT Josh Tupou arrested following house party fight
Colorado starting defensive lineman Joshua Tupou turned himself into Boulder Police last Thursday after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of second-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault, criminal mischief, trespassing and reckless endangerment following an incident at a house party in February.
Jaleel Awini, a QB transfer from Air Force who is listed as an outside linebacker, and receiver Donovan Lee also were cited. Awini was ticketed for third-degree assault, reckless endangerment and second-degree trespassing. Lee was cited for third-degree assault, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and second-degree trespassing.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, police were called to a house party around 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 14 after a fight broke out and it spilled into the street. When police arrived, no Colorado players were present, but several witnesses named Tupou, Awini and Lee as instigators of the fight.
More from the Boulder Daily Camera:
According to the affidavit, Tupou and Lee knocked a hole in the privacy fence at a house in the 1000 block of 11th Street where a party was being held, causing about $300 to $700 in damage.
Once inside the patio area, witnesses said Tupou then tackled one of the party guests, Christopher Tetreault, and punched him 3 to 4 times in the face before a woman started yelling at Tupou to stop.
Tetreault was transported to Boulder Community Hospital and suffered a broken nose and a broken bone in his right cheek.
Tetreault declined to comment when reached on Friday.
Tupou also reportedly kicked another man in the crotch and then punched a third man in the back of the head, according to the affidavit. Several witnesses at the party picked Tupou out of a photo lineup, police said.
Witnesses also said Awini and Lee were the two loudest and "in your face" instigators, and one man said he saw Lee throw a chair at someone. Lee told police that he helped break down the fence and did not see what Tupou did, but acknowledged things "went way too far."
Colorado officials told the paper they were waiting for the legal process to play out before any action was taken, however none of the three players participated in Colorado’s spring game Saturday.
Tupou is a three-year starter at defensive tackle for the Buffs. He played in all 12 games last season and recorded 42 tackles. Lee played in 10 games as a freshman receiver in 2014. He had 13 catches for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Arizona State signee Davon Durant arrested on aggravated assault charges
One of Arizona State’s highest-ranked signees has been suspended indefinitely after being arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.
Davon Durant, a four-star inside linebacker from Butler County Community College in Kansas, was arrested March 7 when witnesses claimed they saw a man striking a woman while the two were sitting in a black SUV.
According to the police report, which was obtained by azcentral.com, Durant's girlfriend told police that Durant hit her in the face once and grabbed her around the neck. Durant told police he got into a verbal altercation with his girlfriend.
The responding officer did notice injuries to the alleged victim, including a bruise below her left eye and bruising around her neck, which appeared to be finger marks.
Durant is due in court for a preliminary hearing on March 18 for charges of disorderly conduct and aggravated assault.
Durant, who enrolled early to participate in spring drills, is no longer listed on the spring roster.

Tennessee CB Emmanuel Moseley 'safe' after scary car accident
Tennessee freshmen cornerback Emmanuel Moseley tweeted Saturday night that he and his family were safe after what appeared to be a scary car accident.
Glad that my family and I were able to make it out of this accident. Thank you Jesus we are safe. http://ift.tt/1NWEV2v
— Emmanuel Moseley (@EMoseley_4) March 15, 2015
The fact that no one was injured in this accident was a miracle considering the roof of the Dodge Durango appeared to be smashed down to the seats.
Details of the accident were scarce, but according to Wes Rucker of 247Sports, a Tennessee source said Moseley and his family were indeed OK.
Moseley played in 13 games as a true freshman in 2014, including two late-season starts. He finished the year with 19 tackles, two tackles for loss and six pass breakups.
Thank you all for the prayers love you all

Comedian John Oliver calls out Clemson’s Dabo Swinney's during NCAA rant
If you’ve seen the hashtag “#soybeanwind” floating around social media in the past 24 hours, you can thank comedian and talk show host John Oliver.
Oliver, who hosts HBO’s "Last Week Tonight" had a 21-minute rant about the NCAA and during it, he cited Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and comments he made last June about paying student-athletes (start at the 14:07 mark).
“As far as paying players, professionalizing college athletics, that’s where you lose me,” Swinney said. “I’ll go do something else because there’s enough entitlement in this world as there is.”
Here’s what Oliver had to say about Swinney’s comments:
“If you find that infuriating, you might like to know that Dabo Swinney is an anagram for Soybean Wind, which I think is fitting because he seems as pleasant as an edamame fart. And the fact that his name is an anagram for Soybean Wind is not relevant to this discussion, but I felt it was worth mentioning because it feels like something he’d be annoyed by and would not want people to know on a wide basis, hashtag soybean wind.”
“The larger point is, Swinney has trademarked his name for use on shirts because he’s allowed to do that. The NCAA manual explicitly states coaches are free to pursue endorsements or consultation contracts and players are acutely aware of this discrepancy.”
The video then shifts to a rant by former Michigan basketball player Jalen Rose, who notes that coaches have five different revenue streams thanks to endorsement deals and radio show contracts. Meanwhile, student athletes, such as himself, were wondering how they were going to help their mothers keep their lights on.
Of course, Swinney’s new nickname took off on social media and was trending at one point late Sunday evening. Some enterprising Internet troll even changed Swinney’s Wikipedia page to reflect the nickname.

Chances are Swinney didn’t even know about his viral fame until Monday morning, long after the damage had been done. Swinney isn’t the first coach to speak out against paying student-athletes, but he is the only coach with a name that makes a terrific anagram.
To be clear, the NCAA did allow universities to issue cost-of-attendance scholarships beginning with the 2015-16 school year. While it might not be the millions Oliver wants student-athletes to get, it is at least something more than they were getting.
