Rick Neuheisel's NCAA Tournament song is great (Video)




Rick Neuheisel's new song pokes some fun at himself.


The former coach and now CBS Sports analyst broke out a new song on Thursday's Dan Patrick show about the NCAA Tournament.


Neuheisel was fired from Washington in June of 2003 amidst an NCAA investigation. He participated in a neighborhood NCAA Tournament pool that, according to an email from a member of Washington's compliance department, was OK under NCAA rules. It was not (Participation in tournament pools is against NCAA guidelines).


He was eventually cleared by the NCAA and received a settlement of nearly $5 million as he wasn't the only member of the athletic department participating in betting pools.


How do you think it ranks among all of his songs? He'll have enough for an album pretty soon.

Report: SEC adds BYU and Army as Power Five non-con teams



Army and BYU are now Power Five teams, at least in the eyes of the SEC for scheduling purposes.


According to ESPN, the Black Knights and Cougars will join Notre Dame in fulfilling the conference's requirement that all teams play a Power Five opponent during the season.



After settling at 14 teams with the additions of Missouri and Texas A&M, the SEC had the opportunity to stick with its current eight-game conference schedule starting or expanding the conference slate to nine. It chose to stay with eight and mandated that its teams play a Power Five opponent as one of four non-conference games starting in 2016.


Notre Dame was initially included in the Power Five opponents list. Navy, an independent team in 2014, will be a football-only member of the American in 2015.


BYU had fought to be shown the same reverence that Notre Dame has been and has already been considered a Power Five opponent by the ACC for its teams to fullfil a Power Five opponent requirement. By being considered a Power Five team by conferences whose teams are given the obligation, BYU can have an easier time finding games.


The Cougars are on Missouri's schedule in 2015 and 2020, so The Tigers don't have to worry about finding a Power Five team five years from now. The only other non-conference team on Missouri's slate for 2020 is Eastern Michigan.


The Cougars are also scheduled to play LSU in 2017 and gives LSU two "Power Five" opponents with a game against Syracuse slotted a week later. According to ESPN's report, BYU will also play Mississippi State in 2016 and 2017.


According to FBSchedules.com, Army doesn't have any games scheduled against SEC opponents in the future. We're going to guess that will change shortly.

Columbia, Mo. police close Sasha Menu Courey case



The Columbia (Mo.) Police Department has closed the case involving the alleged sexual assault of a former Missouri swimmer.


Sasha Menu Courey committed suicide in June 2011, about 16 months after she said she was allegedly sexually assaulted in February 2010. She had believed her alleged attacker was a member of the Missouri football team.


In a statement released Wednesday, Columbia police said that "after a year of following leads, reviewing evidence, and taking multiple statements, CPD detectives have been unable to identify a suspect in this case."


The case was assigned to a detective after a January 2014 report by ESPN's Outside the Lines that said the university didn't take steps to investigate the alleged incident. ESPN cited records that said a rape crisis counselor, a campus therapist and two doctors knew about the allegation and, according to Menu Courey's journal, so did a member of Missouri's athletic department.


Missouri countered the report by saying Menu Courey chose not to report the allegations to law enforcement and that healthcare workers are bound by privacy and confidentiality laws. A spokesperson also said the university hadn't received family authorization to access her medical records nor had it heard back from her parents regarding their wishes for an investigation.


An independent investigation after the OTL report criticized Missouri's (lack of an) investigation. It said the school should have launched an investigation in November of 2012 and that the school "acted inconsistently" with Title IX requirements.


The police department statement cited four obstacles in the case: the alleged victim is deceased, no forensic evidence exists along with chain of custody issues with Menu Courey's phone and computer, that much of the information obtained from witnesses is hearsay and "there is no information available to clearly establish that this person actually committed the act."


The police statement also included details from an interview with former Missouri football player Rolandis Woodland, who said he received a tape of the alleged incident in the mail from Menu Courey before her death.



Rolandis stated that he did not know that Sasha had been sexually assaulted until after her death. Rolandis stated that immediately after her death, he received a package from Sasha that was sent while she was in a treatment facility in Boston, MA. He advised he felt she sent the package just before committing suicide. Rolandis said that the package contained two letters and a CD. Rolandis said in one letter, she described her feelings for him. He said that in the other letter, she described the sexual assault incident and asked that he not disclose the details to anyone. Rolandis stated that the CD contained video footage of the assault.



You can view the complete statement here.


Menu Courey's parents responded to the police statement and questioned why police destroyed some of her belongings after investigating a previous suicide attempt by Menu Courey in a Columbia hotel in April 2011.


From the Kansas City Star:



Menu Courey’s parents requested their daughter’s personal effects after her death in June 2011, and several items were returned roughly a month later, Menu said.




During the course of the Columbia police investigation, Menu Courey’s parents learned that items logged as evidence from that April 2011 suicide attempt were not returned.




Those items, including a 10-day journal and a five-page suicide note, were subsequently destroyed by Columbia police.



According to the Star, a police official is working with her family to "clarify" what happened with Menu Courey's destroyed belongings.


“There could have been really relevant information,” her father Mike Menu told the Star. “The journal, we suspect — and we don’t know, because we’ve never seen it, but we suspect — was related to her stay at MU’s hospital.


“That’s also a pretty substantial note, which we didn’t see either. What was in there? A person that killed themselves, you don’t know what they might have divulged in there, but there could definitely be something to look into.


“We felt like that, at the very least, should be mentioned as an obstacle, but it wasn’t even mentioned. I think that’s more important than the fact that our daughter’s computer had been accessed since her death when we opened it a couple times to read her journal.”

South Carolina's Larenz Bryant sidelined with liver injury



South Carolina LB Larenz Bryant is out for the rest of spring practice with what the team called a "low-grade liver injury."


According to a statement from South Carolina, Bryant was taken to a hospital after the incident during Tuesday's practice and was held overnight for observation. He's expected to make a full recovery.


Per GamecockCentral.com, Bryant sustained a lacerated liver during a collision with safety Chris Moody and was tended to by South Carolina's training staff on the field for a "good while" before he was taken to the hospital.


Bryant is expected to contend for a starting position at outside linebacker for the Gamecocks. In 12 games last year he had three tackles and a sack. South Carolina's defense looks to make a big bounceback after a porous 2014 campaign.


The Gamecocks were one of the worst defensive teams in the SEC and have transitioned from a 3-4 set to a 4-3 in 2015. In Tuesday's first practice of the spring, the defense was in both a 4-3 and 4-2-5 look and will likely alternate between the two primary alignments based off an opponent's offensive style.
