Florida OL Rod Johnson retires due to spinal condition
Johnson, a redshirt sophomore offensive tackle, was diagnosed with “congenital cervical stenosis” by Florida’s medical staff. Per GatorZone.com, the condition is “a narrowing of the spinal canal enveloping the spinal cord, preventing enough fluid to gather around the spinal cord to properly protect it from injury.”
Johnson first showed signs of the condition when he suffered what was thought to be a stinger on April 3 during a scrimmage. The 6-foot-6, 296-pound Johnson felt a numbness in his fingers and hands and was held out of the rest of spring practice while undergoing further examination.
After undergoing an MRI, meeting with specialists and consulting with team doctors, “it was recommended Johnson retire from the sport.”
Cervical stenosis also ended the careers of former New York Giants running back David Wilson and Ole Miss wide receiver Cooper Manning, the brother of Peyton and Eli Manning
Florida head coach Jim McElwain hinted after Saturday’s spring game that Johnson’s career was likely over. McElwain also said that he would “never” put Johnson or another player “out there in harm’s way.”
“Life’s too short, man,” McElwain said. “Ain’t gonna do it, ain’t gonna do it to a young guy.”
Johnson, who started three games and played in 12 for the Gators last season, was expected to be a starter for the Gators at offensive tackle in 2015.

The Gators suited up just six scholarship offensive lineman on Saturday, but have six true freshmen linemen joining the program this summer.

Navy cancels final three spring practices
Niumatalolo, who is entering his ninth season as Navy’s head coach, decided to cancel his team’s final three spring practices so his players can focus on academic and other military responsibilities.
“Most schools don’t have final exams as tough as those facing our players. Most football programs don’t have players who must pass a swimming test,” Niumatalolo told The Capital Gazette. “I just felt the potential negatives outweighed the positives of using three more practices.”
The Midshipmen’s original schedule called for spring practice to conclude on April 10, but two practices were postponed due to weather. That pushed everything back a week closer to the end of the semester.
“It’s a grind here at the academy and the semester is winding down. I just think it’s time for our players to focus on finishing the school year strong as far as their classes and military commitments,” Niumatalolo said.
“I thought we might need three more practices, but as it turned out I don’t think we do. I feel pretty confident that we accomplished all we needed to.”
Injuries to starting center Blaze Ryder (leg) and slotback Jahmaal Daniel (ankle) also may have played a role in Niumatalolo’s decision. Ryder, a senior, “will likely miss the first two or three games of 2015,” per The Capital. Additionally, Niumatalolo said that Daniel should be ready to go when fall camp rolls around in August.
The Midshipmen went 8-5 in 2014 and beat San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl.

Ga. Tech helping fund cost of attendance with the Rolling Stones
Georgia Tech has a good use for the money it's going to get from the Rolling Stones.
The legendary rock band is playing a concert at Bobby Dodd Stadium on June 9. And, coincidentally, Georgia Tech will be providing increased stipends for its athletes in the next school year as part of reforms passed by the Power Five conferences to allow them to provide cost of attendance compensation.
So athletes at Georgia Tech can thank Mick, Keith and the rest of the band for bigger checks next year according to athletic director Mike Bobinski. From ESPN:
In total, Bobinski said covering cost of attendance will add an extra $500,000 to the school's athletic department budget. He said Georgia Tech is expected to receive at least half that amount from the concert.
"The reason we’re doing that is not because we want to have a concert on our great football turf, it is to find ways to generate other revenues," Bobinski said. "We have to look for other things to fill in the gaps."
Georgia Tech may not be the only school utilizing the Rolling Stones to help with cost of attendance either. The Stones are also playing at the stadiums of Minnesota, North Carolina State and Ohio State in their North American tour.
It's a smart idea. While cost of attendance figures vary from school to school (based on cost of living factors), each school covering cost of attendance in its athletes' scholarships will have increased expenses moving forward. And not every school runs a surplus like Alabama or Texas. If big-name concerts continue to be a reliable revenue-producer, the Rolling Stones could be the start of an on-campus stadium concert trend.

NCAA: committee members received threats after McNair docs release
The NCAA said members of its infractions committee have received threats following the release of the Todd McNair documents.
The NCAA made the comment in the footnote of a court filing. From the Los Angeles Times:
The mention came in a footnote in the NCAA’s seven-page opposition filed Friday in California’s 2nd Court of Appeal to McNair’s motion to dismiss the organization’s appeal.
“As a result of filing these documents, some Committee on Infractions members received violent threats directed at them, including in their homes,” the NCAA motion said.
The nature of the alleged threats or committee members involved weren’t detailed.
The Times also said committee members contacted didn't respond to comment.
McNair is suing for defamation after he lost his job following a show-cause penalty in the scandal surrounding Reggie Bush and O.J. Mayo at USC. After a California appeals court ruled NCAA documents should be unsealed in the case, comments made about USC by members of the infractions committee were readily available.
Rodey Uphoff, a lawyer who represented a convicted accomplice in the Oklahoma City bombing trial, said the evidence against USC was greater than the evidence in the bombing. He, along with Roscoe Howard, also poked USC's hiring of Lane Kiffin. The Trojans hired Kiffin after Pete Carroll left for the Seattle Seahawks.
Another, Shep Cooper, called McNair lying and bankrupt.
After the documents were made public, USC even issued a statement about the bias shown in them. Last week, Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said the NCAA's enforcement process was not fair.
The documents mentioning the unspecific threats were filed on Friday. McNair's attorneys are asking for the NCAA's appeal to be dismissed because the governing body didn't unseal all of the documents related to the case, per the Times. The NCAA counters by saying it wasn't required to unseal everything.

Here's Army new logo and football uniforms
Army unveiled its new logo and unforms Monday night as part of a rebrand that also includes a different name.
The school now calls itself "Army West Point." Here's the reasoning why:
The United States Army and West Point are indivisible. To separate the Army from West Point is to take away the purpose of the United States Military Academy. Since its founding in 1802, West Point has produced soldier scholars for America. The best education in the nation hones the intellect, while the tough physical and military training creates the warrior. The Army West Point primary mark perfectly portrays the soldier scholar ideal. Athena's helmet symbolizes wisdom while the sword represents the warrior ready for battle. Soldier Scholar. Army West Point.

— ArmyWestPoint Sports (@GoArmyWestPoint) April 14, 2015 The new logo utilizes the same color scheme that Army has used previously. And while the football uniforms are noticeably different, they aren't an incredible departure from 2014's uniforms.

A report last week said the school was going to drop its "Black Knights" nickname in favor of "Cadets." Instead, both will be used and are showcased on the wordmarks on the redesign website.
Academy athletics teams are now Army West Point not Army or West Point. Primary nickname Black Knights. Secondary nickname Cadets.
