Georgia commit injured in science class accident

(via Rivals) Georgia commit Ben Cleveland, a four-star offensive lineman, was planning to participate in a Rivals camp in the Atlanta area over the weekend but had to sit it out due to an injury.

It wasn’t an injury he sustained on the field, either. It happened in the classroom.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Cleveland, a 6-foot-7, 325-pound guard was injured in science class and had to get stiches in his hand.

“He was doing lab and he was holding a glass bottle,” Frank Barden, Cleveland’s high school coach, told the AJC. “I don’t know if it was the chemical in the glass or from squeezing it – but the glass broke. And he had to have some stitches in his hand.”

Cleveland also plays baseball at Stephens County High School and has had to miss a bit of time because of the ordeal. His coach says he’ll be “fine” and back in the lineup as soon his stitches heal.

“They’re in his right hand, and he throws left-handed,” Barden said. “I think they taped his ring finger and his middle finger together. He couldn’t wear a glove last week, but I think that was how he was going to be able to DH.”

Cleveland committed to the Bulldogs in July and is considered by Rivals to be the second-best guard in the country and the fourth-best player in the state of Georgia in the 2016 class. Additionally, he’s ranked No. 42 overall in the country, so he’s quite the addition to Mark Richt’s 2016 class.

We know Richt wants to make sure Cleveland’s hand heals up soon.

Documents show UAB planned to shut down football last September

When the University of Alabama-Birmingham announced in December that it was folding its football program, it became the first Football Bowl Subdivision/Division I-A school to do so since 1995. However, according to documents obtained by AL.com, the decision to end the program was actually made when the football season began.

Public relations firm Sard Verbinnen & Co., initially advised the university to shut down football, women’s bowling and women’s rifle in September 2014. A memo obtained by AL.com noted that staff members, including football coach Bill Clark and athletic director Brian Mackin, would be notified on Sept. 17 and a public announcement would be made on Sept. 30. However, the public relations firm adjusted its thinking and advised the university to push the announcement back for fear of blowback from the football team.

That memo offers "our basis for opposing a mid-season announcement." It suggests the potential for "a critical mass of immediate transfer requests ... where students refuse to finish out the season" or "a full team boycott."

"If not effectively managed," the memo says, "it is conceivable that UAB would not be able to field a competitive team - or any team."

The memo also suggests the possibility that UAB football players "may react very badly if an announcement is made during the season."

"Although we initially believed that an early- or mid-season announcement was best for students, upon consideration of the potential for immediate withdrawals and the impact on team morale, we have adjusted our view," the memo says.

The memos uncovered by AL.com show that UAB president Ray Watts was not being truthful when he said on multiple occasions that the decision to shut down the programs was not made until November.

The Carr report, a document UAB made public on Dec. 2, detailed the reasons for the disbanding of the programs. The document was dated Nov. 18, which would go along with Watts’ timeline. However, AL.com said it found a nearly identical document from CarrSports Consulting that was dated Sept. 3.

Watts’ announcement that the university was disbanding the three programs sparked protests and debates that continue to rage. Several people have offered money to help save the football program while others have called for Watts to be removed from the university. Several UAB players already have found new places to play while others simply will finish out their education.

While many attempts have been made to get the football program reinstated, the chances of it actually happening appear bleak.

FSU trustees approve $79.5 million in stadium upgrades

Oct 18, 2014; Tallahassee, FL, USA; A general view of Doak Campbell Stadium before the game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Florida State Seminoles. (Matt Cashore-USA TODAY Sports) Florida State’s Doak Campbell Stadium is in line for a makeover.

Repairs and maintenance to the tune of $6 million began on the stadium after the 2014 stadium, but something bigger is coming down the line. According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Florida State’s Board of Trustees approved “issuing up to $85 million in bonds to pay for an anticipated $79.5 million project” on Doak Campbell.

The project includes adding a new “premium outdoor seating section” while also making various structural repairs, painting the stadium and updating the sky box.

The new club area seats 6,000 and will be located in the south end zone. Construction is scheduled for July 2016 in order to complete the project prior to the 2016 season.

From the Democrat:

This exclusive indoor-outdoor section will cover four levels and allows fans to experience game day from different vantage points without losing sight of the field. It will also provide amenities that fans want. The first phase of construction in July will include a pair of elevator and stair towers in the south end zone across from the Unconquered Statue. They will provide fans improved access in and out of the stadium on game days and designers believe will become "iconic elements" of Doak Campbell Stadium.

FSU athletic director Stan Wilcox said the school is hoping to modernize the stadium and make the experience better for fans.

"Football, obviously being our No. 1 financial driver, that's one of the sports that obviously is the biggest investment," Wilcox said. "But the return is the largest return as well, so we have to be sure that our football facilities are the best they can possibly be so we can continue to attract top student-athletes around the country, as well as keeping our fan base happy when they come and watch a game at Doak Campbell Stadium."

Other improvements that have been discussed include seat width, improving bathrooms and concourses and updating the video board in the north end zone.
