Maryland RB Reid, DB Dancel decide to transfer
The school announced that both running back Albert Reid and safety Zach Dancel will transfer out of the program and pursue graduate transfers for the 2015 season. Both players are expected to be immediately eligible.
According to the Washington Post, Dancel is on track to graduate from Maryland in May while Reid will earn his degree later in the summer.
Reid has competed in a crowded Terps backfield throughout the spring but was not expected to see many carries when the season rolled around behind senior Brandon Ross, junior Wes Brown and sophomore Jacquille Veii.
Reid appeared in 25 total games in his first two seasons, but saw action in only four games as a junior after going down with a knee injury. Overall in three seasons, Reid rushed for 447 yards and three touchdowns on 122 carries. Additionally, Reid had 15 catches for 129 yards and a score.
Dancel was taking reps with the second-team defense during the spring, but made the decision to move on to another program for the second time in his career. Dancel began his career at New Mexico and made eight starts with 32 tackles and an interception as a true freshman.
After sitting out in 2012 due to the NCAA’s transfer rules, Dancel appeared in 22 games for the Terps over the past two seasons mainly on special teams and registered 26 tackles.
The Terps went 7-6 last season – their first in the Big Ten.

Experience a workout with South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier (Video)
South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier is in great shape for a man who turns 70 years old on Monday. Josh Kendall, the Gamecocks beat writer from The State, got an up close look at the Ol’ Ball Coach’s workout routine in the football team’s weight room.
The first thing you have to notice is that Spurrier wears a sweater vest (!!!) and a headband while he works out. The man means serious business. He also goes through an impressive variety of exercises.
Kendall gave us an idea of what the average Spurrier session looks like:
He does two sets of shoulder presses with barbells. Fifty with 15-pounders and 40 with 10-pounders. He does 200 shoulder shrugs with 30-pound barbells, two long sets of curls, 50 tricep extensions with a 25-pound barbell (I think it was 25 pounds; oxygen depletion may have affected my memory.) There are 100 toe raises with the 30-pound barbells; 22 minutes on the treadmill; 11 minutes on the stationary bike at a not-insignificant incline.
Spurrier says he thinks he’s in better shape now than he was when he won the Heisman Trophy as a quarterback at Florida in 1966.
“I work out more for sure,” Spurrier said.
Spurrier told Kendall that he works out six days a week during the season, but his routine isn’t as defined during the offseason due to travel.
Kendall said the “most impressive” aspect of Spurrier’s workout was his core work that includes 400 crunches on a medicine ball and a one-minute plank (which you see at the 1:12 mark in the video).
I’m tired just thinking about it.
Spurrier said his attention to working out his core has spared him from back surgery. Though some doctors still suggest it, Spurrier’s personal doctor told him, “Just keep doing what you’re doing.”
And then to cap the workout off, Spurrier asked Kendall to pose alongside him with his shirt off. Kendall was hesitant at first, but then came around.
“It’s never something I would normally do but I thought to myself, ‘How many times in your life do you get a chance to pose shirtless with Steve Spurrier?’ So what the heck,” Kendall said.
Steve Spurrier in better shape than when he won the Heisman? He’s got a believer http://t.co/S683jHd3nN http://ift.tt/1HgrEyF

Dakota State coaches show us the hilarious 'Dizzy Punt' (Video)
After a day of practice, NAIA program Dakota State (SD) decided to have some fun by playing a game called “Dizzy Punt” with defensive coordinator Cory Miller and head coach Josh Anderson.
The idea is for each coach to hold a golf club to their head (a la “Dizzy Bat”) and spin around 12 times before attempting to punt the football.
As you can see, the punts did not get very far. Miller (left) needed help to even get to the football, which was about five yards in front of him.
One thing is certain: the players had a lot more fun than the coaches did.

MSU hoops coach Ben Howland: Football is 'most important' college sport
On the football field, the Bulldogs ascended to No. 1 in the rankings late in the year, but lost three of their last four games. Howland said part of the allure of accepting the MSU job was the football program’s success. He even said that football is “the most important sport on a major college campus.”
"When you look at football and basketball, all the best programs in the country, with the exception of a few maybe, have both," Howland said, per Al.com. "I knew that having good football only helps basketball.
"Let's be clear here. The most important sport on a major college campus is football because it costs the most and it has the most revenue potential to bring money into the university. Football is very, very important. I love college football."
Some coaches want their respective sport to be the center of attention and wouldn’t be attracted to a job where basketball plays second fiddle. Howland isn’t one of them and said that the SEC’s football prowess was a major selling point.
“There’s no question, it’s not even debatable, who has the best football conference in America. Period. It’s the SEC,” Howland said. “It’s raised everybody’s level. Mississippi State was No. 1 in the country for five weeks last year in football, and that’s absolutely awesome.”
As for his short stint as guest football coach on Saturday, Howland has a plan.
“I have a formula. Get the ball to Dak Prescott,” he said of MSU’s senior quarterback. “We’re going to run the ball. We’re going to run the option.”

VOD: Iowa State channels 'Field of Dreams'
This is glorious.
The ISU Letterwinners Club posted a 'Field of Dreams' imitation to YouTube earlier in the week featuring linebacker Levi Peters and coach Paul Rhoads.
We're not sure you need us to explain the similarities to the movie, which was set in Iowa.
The clip is a promo for the renovations the school is doing at Jack Trice Stadium. Iowa State is expanding the stadium's capacity to 61,000 and adding a second video board, among other things.

Michigan's attendance streak was boosted with 60,000+ free tix
Michigan's streak of home games with over 100,000 people in attendance got a significant assist from comped tickets in 2014.
According to the Detroit News, the school had a significant increase in free tickets given out last season.
There were 62,879 free tickets distributed during the 2014 season that accounted for roughly 8.6 percent of attendance, a sharp increase from the previous season, when 2.8 percent of the attendance came from comp tickets. Even with the comps, the stadium surpassed its capacity of 109,901 only once, and that came in a night game against Penn State.
The last time Michigan had a home game with less than 100,000 was on Oct. 25, 1975. The News says the six-figure mark includes "tickets sold, tickets distributed, staffing, catering employees, university facility and operations employees, the spirit squad and marching band, and the media."
The increase in the practice, while striking, isn't all that surprising given Michigan's struggles in 2014. Not only did the team perform poorly on the field, there was the whole debacle with quarterback Shane Morris and the coaching staff's handling of his concussion.
You may also remember the promotion last season that saw two tickets (briefly) given away to the team's game against Minnesota with the purchase of a Coca-Cola product. The school called the promotion a "miscommunication" after a picture of the sign started to spread.
While Michigan is likely to not win the national title in 2015, we're going to guess comp ticket levels will go back to where they were in 2013, if not lower. With the optimism surrounding former quarterback Jim Harbaugh's return to the school as a coach, the program won't be having to beg people to come to football games.
