Pac-12 commish Larry Scott says NCAA 'enforcement system is not fair'
As part of former USC assistant coach Todd McNair’s defamation lawsuit against the NCAA, hundreds of pages of NCAA documents were unsealed last month. The documents detailed the NCAA infractions committee’s approach toward sanctioning USC for extra benefits given to star athletes Reggie Bush and O.J. Mayo.
Among the nearly 500 pages of documents that the NCAA fought to seal included infractions committee director Shep Cooper calling McNair a “lying, morally bankrupt criminal.” Another NCAA official said that there was more evidence against USC than there was against a man convicted of being an accomplice in the Oklahoma City bombings. Another official said he wanted to make an example of USC.
A California appeals court ruled the documents should be unsealed in February.
Scott says the USC case is an example of a flawed enforcement system.
“As we’ve maintained from the beginning, the USC case is a good example of how the current enforcement system is not fair and consistent across the board,” Scott said to the Los Angeles Times.
“The punishments on USC were too harsh and after an initial review of the documents released recently, we share USC’s serious concern regarding the process undergone by the NCAA and its Committee on Infractions, as well as the substance of their actions in the case.”
McNair, who coached running backs at USC and was given a show-cause penalty for his role in the sanctions against the football program (which ended in 2014), filed his suit against the NCAA in June 2011. He hasn’t coached in college football since.
USC said in a statement that the unsealed documents confirmed “bias against McNair and USC by and on behalf of the NCAA and its Committee on Infractions.”
"We are extremely disappointed and dismayed at the way the NCAA investigated, judged and penalized our university throughout this process,” the statement said. “USC hopes that the transparency in this case will ultimately lead to review and changes so that all member institutions receive the fair and impartial treatment they deserve.”
The NCAA said the unsealed documents showed “how the Committee on Infractions underwent thorough deliberations consistent with the policies and procedures governing the infractions process.”

From Family of late Alabama AD Mal Moore file wrongful death lawsuit
The daughter of former University of Alabama athletic director Mal Moore is suing two pharmaceutical companies claiming they manufactured the heart medicine that led to her father’s death.
Heather Moore Cook named Wyeth and Par Pharmaceuticals in the wrongful death suit. The lawsuit claims Moore died as a result of taking the drug amiodarone. Moore died on March 30, 2013. He was 73.
The lawsuit claims amiodarone was not meant to treat atrial fibrillation and was only FDA-approved as "a drug of last resort for patients suffering from documented recurrent life-threatening ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia."
“Defendants' scheme ultimately deceived physicians, pharmacists, and consumers into believing that prescribing and taking amiodarone for the off-label atrial fibrillation uses that Defendants promoted was appropriate even though Defendants knew FDA approval had not been granted for those uses and, moreover, there was significant medical-scientific evidence suggesting amiodarone was very dangerous in those situations, and in fact, resulted in serious pulmonary illness and toxicity, and death, when so used.”
According to the lawsuit, Moore took amiodarone for 90 days in 2008 to treat an irregular heartbeat. Five years later, Moore was diagnosed with advanced pulmonary fibrosis, which the daughter claims was a direct result of the medication. Moore was hospitalized on March 13, he stepped down as athletic director on March 20 and died 10 days later.
The lawsuit claims Moore never received a Medication Guide that would have advised him of the uses and risks involved with taking the medication. It says Moore experienced many of the side effects, including shortness of breath, a cough which produced signs of blood and longer than normal healing of wounds.
The family, which is seeking compensatory damages in addition to other fees, filed the lawsuit on March 30, which was just before the statute of limitations was up.

VOD: Hines Ward's speech to Colorado State
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward played with new Colorado State coach Mike Bobo when the two were at Georgia. And Bobo used the connection with Ward to bring the now-NBC analyst to CSU to speak to his team.
Ward hit on a very similar thing that another NBC analyst, Tony Dungy, did when he spoke to the Texas Longhorns, saying "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."
When speaking to Texas, Dungy told the team that talent isn't everything when it comes to winning Super Bowls.
Bobo was Georgia's starting quarterback in 1997 with Ward as the team's leading receiver. The Bulldogs won the Outback Bowl over Wisconsin at the end of the season. Before replacing Jim McElwain as the Rams' coach after the 2014 season, Bobo was the offensive coordinator at Georgia.

Jimbo Fisher says Florida State needs to 'grow up'
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher was not impressed with his team's play during the second scrimmage of the spring Monday.
He said many players were simply trying to "endure" the scrimmage rather than playing hard throughout it's entirety. And then he said his team needed to grow up and it was a bit soft.
"Need to grow up," Fisher said via Warchant.com. "A bunch of young guys think they're real good and they're not close. Got ability, got to learn to play with intangibles. A little bit soft as a team overall, both sides."
There's likely a both truth and motivation involved in Fisher's statements. After seven players were selected in the 2014 NFL draft following FSU's national title over Auburn, five players declared early for the 2015 NFL draft. And coupled with players who had exhausted their eligibility, FSU is having to replace half of its 2014 starting lineup in 2015.
The turnover is a side effect of success, certainly, but many players may be learning this spring just how much effort it takes to have the opportunity to play for the national title two years in a row.
"This team has to get tougher, mentally," defensive back Jalen Ramsey said. "That's the honest truth. This team has to get tougher mentally. We're soft right now. Not always physically soft, just mentally soft. I just don't understand it. It'll come along."
The Seminoles' spring game is Saturday. A good performance there makes Monday seem like a distant memory. But if Fisher doesn't like his team's effort then as well, the Seminoles may be entering fall practice with a storyline to rival the departure of Jameis Winston. And, via Warchant, Ramsey warned of what could happen if the Seminoles don't improve from Monday.
"If they're going to settle for what we just did out there, nobody's going to enjoy the season," he said. "We're not going to enjoy the season, coaches aren't going to enjoy the season, fans aren't going to enjoy the season."

Florida has 6 healthy scholarship offensive linemen
With another injury, Florida will only have enough scholarship offensive lineman to fill out one unit.
The Gators are down to six healthy scholarship linemen after Roderick Johnson suffered what coach Jim McElwain termed a "stinger-ish type of deal" during practice on Friday and is out indefinitely.
McElwain said Johnson lost feeling in the fingers of one of his hands. Johnson played in all 12 of Florida's games last season and started three.
"You know, he got banged up and kind of felt you know his fingers kind of went numb," McElwain said via InsidetheGators.com. "I still don't know quite what exactly that is other than you know those are things that you're always very cautious with and we'll get that thing looked at by a lot of different people.
"They went in and found out there were some things that he might have had well before from that area. And, if they had shown me the X-ray, I wouldn't have been able to tell what the heck it was anyway. We'll do, obviously, what's in his best interest. In moving forward, we'll make sure we do what's best there."
Offensive lineman Trip Thurman is also out because of a shoulder injury. If the injuries were happening during the regular season, you couldn't blame Florida fans for having flashbacks to 2013. Two years ago, the Gators had an incredible injury plague. Eight players were lost for the season before the end of September and the injuries didn't stop in October and November.
Johnson is likely out of the Gators' spring game on Saturday, and McElwain also said his absence likely affects what the school will be doing in it. Florida had already decided not to go with a team format for the game because of numbers at certain positions and the decision is now supported even more with four walk-on players on the offensive line's second team.
Instead, McElwain said the spring game will be positioned as offense vs. defense with a special scoring system that will focus on specific in-game scenarios. He also said Will Grier was ahead of Treon Harris in the Gators' quarterback competition simply because he's had more time in practice. Harris missed time during spring practice after his 16-year-old cousin was shot and killed.

Army getting new unis, reportedly changing nickname to Cadets
Army will reportedly be known as the Cadets instead of the Black Knights next season.
The school is announcing a uniform makeover and a nickname change on Monday, April 13. The uniform changes are part of Army's agreement with its uniform supplier, Nike.
#Army Athletics will reveal new logo and nickname change (#BlackKnights to Cadets) at rebranding event on April 13 at Eisenhower Hall.
— Sal Interdonato (@salinterdonato) April 6, 2015 From Army's site, which will broadcast the rebrand at 8 p.m. ET Monday:
With the goal of developing an innovative and consistent athletic identity that pays tribute to the Academy's legacy and tradition, Army Athletics, U.S. Army and Academy leadership, Nike, current and former cadet-athletes, coaches, historians and West Point graduates, collaborated on a nearly 18-month brand evolution program.
Will the team no longer have its fantastic gold helmets with a black stripe? We hope not.
The name change to Cadets isn't a new one. The Black Knights nickname has only been official since 1999.
"We really want to make sure we have something that identifies regionally, nationally and internationally," Army athletic director Boo Corrigan said to the Army Times in November.
According to the Army Times, the Black Knights nickname took off as an alternative moniker for the school during the football team's heyday in the 1940s. From 1944-1946 Army went undefeated. The time period was also during running back Glenn Davis' record-setting success. Davis has the careeer yards-per-carry record in college football, the record that was challenged in 2014 by Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon.
