Petit larceny charge dropped against 4-star South Carolina signee
According to the Island Packet, Shelton said the misdemeanor charge against Blackshear was not severe enough to force the alleged victim to testify.
Blackshear, a four-star defensive end, was accused of stealing a purse and safe from a house on Feb. 7. The total value of the stolen items was $1,390, according to the incident report.
Blackshear, who told police he was never at the house, was arrested at his high school on Feb. 13 and charged less than a week after signing with the Gamecocks on National Signing Day. Blackshear’s attorney, Thomas C. Taylor, said that there was a lack of physical evidence and that the witnesses’ statements changed. He also was critical of Bluffton police for the manner in which Blackshear was arrested.
“They chose to drag him out of the school in handcuffs in front of his friends and classmates, when he would have been glad to come down and meet police,” Taylor said according to Bluffton Today. “It was unconscionable. Shameik is a fine young man with a great family who has done a lot to make Bluffton proud.”
Blackshear is now set to arrive at South Carolina on May 30, Taylor said, and the arrest will be expunged from his record.
“From what we understand, he was innocent all the way,” head coach Steve Spurrier said, per The State. “Unless something comes up differently. We had heard that they would drop the charges. As far as I know, he is clear to come with the rest of the team. He was falsely accused.”
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Blackshear, who was rated as the fifth-best player from South Carolina in the 2015 class, tore his ACL in the second game of his senior season. Taylor said his knee will be tested by South Carolina’s team doctors when he arrives on campus.

Mack Brown is traveling the world on behalf of Texas.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, the former Longhorns coach is in Dubai to "meant to explore future possibilities for Texas athletics." While he's an ESPN analyst, he is also in a special capacity for the university.

Texas athletic director Steve Patterson has talked about his international desire before. Texas basketball is playing in China and Patterson has brought up a football game in Mexico City.
Per the AAS, included in this picture Brown posted was Patterson's wife, Yasmin (an Arabic speaker), David Thomas, who works for the Longhorn Network and the Longhorn's Ricky Brown.
Good morning. It's Tuesday, 8:24 here in Dubai. 14 1/2 hour flight from Houston http://ift.tt/1DyLT56
— Mack Brown (@ESPN_CoachMack) April 21, 2015
If a Texas football game was to be played in Dubai, we're going to go out on a limb and guess it would be played in a climate-controlled stadium, especially if it was early in the season. Temperatures average close to 100 degrees in September in October. While November is cooler, it's still warm by many people's standards (88 degrees). If the World Cup wasn't going to be played outdoors in the hot months in Qatar, it's hard to believe that Texas football would either.
Of course, we're also going to guess that a game in Dubai isn't a possibility in the foreseeable future. The Mexico City game seems much more feasible and it could serve as a good experiment for other games around the globe.

The Bears had an 11-1 regular season record and boasted wins over teams like TCU and Kansas State, but were edged out by eventual champion Ohio State for the fourth and final spot. Briles was asked Tuesday if his team’s lackluster non-conference slate hindered his team’s chances of earning a playoff spot. He was emphatic with his answer.
Art Briles asked about his non-conf. scheduling philosophy. Said non-conf schedule had “zero effect” on Baylor getting left out last season
— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) April 21, 2015
To recap, the Bears’ non-conference schedule included wins over one-win SMU, FCS Northwestern State, and 5-6 Buffalo. The Bears won those games by a combined score of 178-27.
To say that that cakewalk had “zero effect” on his team’s end-of-season resume just isn’t true. Sure, Briles would more-than-likely point to his team’s 41-27 loss to West Virginia in October as a bigger reason, but the non-conference games certainly didn’t help matters.

Nebraska CB Boaz Joseph cited for marijuana possession
According to the Lincoln Journal Star, police found “3.3 grams of marijuana” and a grinder in his apartment. The 21-year-old Joseph and two others were cited after officers “executed a search warrant in a fraud investigation,” said assistant Police Chief Charlotte Evans.
Evans told the Journal Star someone used a stolen credit card to ship speakers to the apartment and police were searching for “credit card and shipping information.” Joseph’s roommate, 21-year-old Deandre Pippens, was arrested in connection with the fraud case. Pippens, who is not a Nebraska student, was also cited for marijuana possession and having a digital scale.
A third roommate, former Huskers defensive back Ishmail Jackson, was also cited for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Joseph, a redshirt sophomore from Weston, Fla., played in five games as a redshirt freshman for the Huskers in 2014 and registered one tackle. He’ll have to pay fines for his two citations.
In response to the incident, Nebraska said in a statement that coach Mike Riley and the athletics administration “are aware of incident” and “have no additional comment at this time.”
Joseph was previously cited for theft for stealing a “bait bike” last June. Joseph completed a pre-trial diversion program and the case was eventually dismissed in December.

New MSU assistant Mark Snyder says Spartans, Buckeyes have 'SEC speed'
“That speed is real, trust me,” Snyder said Monday on Lansing 92.1 FM, per Mlive.com. “But we are right there with them, no doubt. I was here for pro day and had a chance to see the guys run, and the myth of the Big Ten versus the SEC (in terms of speed), I don’t see that here, and the little bit of Ohio State film I’ve seen, I don’t see it there. We have that type of speed in this program.”
Two former Michigan State players – running back Jeremy Langford (4.42) and cornerback Trae Waynes (4.31) – ran the fastest 40-yard dash among their respective position group at the NFL combine. That alone backs up Snyder’s statements about his new team.
Snyder's transition to Michigan State is still ongoing. He said he’s still learning the ways of the program and establishing relationships with the players on a daily basis. He’s been impressed with what he’s seen from the Spartans thus far.
“I think the team is oozing with confidence right now, to be honest with you,” Snyder said. “Our kids know they are good, they know they are well-coached, they know they can run with anybody in the country, they are not going to get out-hit or out-toughed.
“We have a group of guys that really love football, and I’ve been very impressed with that.”
The Spartans haven’t even played their spring game yet, but head coach Mark Dantonio said a few weeks ago that his team is already “game ready.”
“We could go out and play a game tomorrow,” Dantonio said on April 9. “We’re going to make mistakes, but we are game ready because we practice enough, we do enough things from a live standpoint, we tackle enough. We do the things that we need to do. When we hit the field we are moving, and we have a lot of guys with experience back.”
The Spartans will hold their annual Green-White spring game on Saturday.

Drake Group refutes benefits of Big Ten's 'year of readiness' proposal
“Research indicates that athletes who did not compete were more likely than those who competed to end the year in poor academic standing even when admitted under normal admission requirements,” the Drake Group’s paper said.
Two of the Big Ten’s key points in its argument for freshmen ineligibility, which it calls “a year of readiness,” were that graduation rates in men’s basketball and football are worse than athletes in other sports and that most NCAA infractions occur in those two sports.
The Drake Group pointed out three negative impacts that would stem from the Big Ten’s proposal:
(1) academically capable students will be penalized by lack of access to extracurricular activities; (2) academically capable students who wish to complete four years of athletic eligibility will have to stay in school for one or two additional semesters, increasing the cost of education to these students or to institutions that provide athletic or other scholarship assistance (estimated to be $94.5 million); and (3) non-scholarship (walk-on) athletes who may be outstanding students will see their graduation dates delayed if they wish to compete for four years.
Absent a demonstrated positive academic impact and considering the adverse economic and academic consequences, freshmen ineligibility seems misguided for athletes generally, for all participants in revenue sports, or for football and men’s basketball players only.
The Drake Group said the Big Ten’s proposal “masks the real problem” that many of the athletes who are recruited to participate in big time Division I athletics are “unprepared” for the academic workload. These students, the paper said, are often admitted “by means of exceptions to normal admission standards, and then experience excessive athletically related time demands.”
While the Drake Group “supports the practice of special admissions” and said that decisions “related to diversification of the student population and advancing educational opportunities for underserved and lower socio-economic populations are ethically justified,” it said in its paper that “access to higher education should not mean open-door eligibility for underprepared athletes.”
The Group reaches the conclusion that simply making freshmen in men’s basketball and football ineligible is a “simplistic approach” that does not “address the need for a major course correction to restore academic integrity to the conduct of intercollegiate athletic programs.”
In order to help students from these circumstances whose “academic profiles” are lower than that of his or her incoming class, the Drake Group wrote that he or she “should be subject to national athletic governance rules.” While those rules prohibit athletes from being eligible, they also provide students with additional academic support.
That support includes:
(1) athletic scholarship assistance to support the athlete during a year of transition and remedial learning if necessary; (2) academic skills and learning disability testing; (3) if necessary, a remediation program supervised by academic authorities; (4) if necessary, a reduced college credit course load to accommodate the time required for remediation; (5) a 10 hours per week participation restriction applicable to athletics-related activities (practice, meetings, etc.); and (6) tenured faculty oversight of the student’s academic progress throughout his or her enrollment at the institution.
The Drake Group’s research shows that athletes generally underperform academically when stacked against their non-athletic peers. It has seven recommendations for universitiess to implement to lessen the gap.
(1) full enforcement of the 20 hours per week limit on all athletically related activities when classes are in session; (2) no competition during final examination periods; (3) adoption of institutional policies by faculty senates approving the maximum percentage of classes that may be missed due to scheduled athletic competitions; (4) no athletic department requirement that athletes select majors and courses that are The Drake Group Position Paper: Freshmen Ineligibility in Intercollegiate Athletics April 20, 2015 Page 3 of 12 compatible with athletics practices, meetings or competitions, (5) the scheduling of football games on weekends exclusively, because both athletes and students who are non-athletes are likely to attend; (6) the provision of athlete academic support services by academic units only, not by the athletic department; and (7) adoption of NCAA continuing eligibility standards requiring that any athlete with a cumulative GPA less than 2.0 be ineligible to participate in athletics, be restricted to a maximum of 10 athletics practice or meeting hours per week, and remain ineligible until a cumulative 2.0 GPA is achieved.
The Drake Group’s paper, which includes its research relative to the benefits of redshirt years, can be viewed in its entirety here.

Miami releases dramatic video touting Sun Life Stadium overhaul
Miami really wants you to get excited about renovations to Sun Life Stadium.
The facility, which hosts the Hurricanes and the Miami Dolphins, is in the midst of massive renovations detailed in a(n overly?) dramatic video due to be complete in 2016.
As you can see, a roof is being installed over the seating sections of the stadium and other upgrades are being made. And while we appreciate Miami's optimism when it comes to crowd size, we wonder just how often the stadium will be as full as it's shown in the renderings. Maybe they're playing Florida State in the video? Below are a few pictures from Miami games in 2014.

Colorado State superfan wants to walk on to CSU football team
If you've paid attention to Colorado State athletics over the last couple years, you may remember Justin Stank.
He's the superfan who was noticed during the 2013 NCAA tournament, when the Rams beat Missouri and lost to Louisville. Stank, set to graduate high school this spring, has been attending Colorado State games in a ram costume for much of his life.
He now has plans to be at Colorado State football games in the near future, though the goal is to be in a Rams uniform. He hopes to walk on to Colorado State's football team after getting his associate's degree at a Fort Collins-area community college.
Stank, now a senior, was recruited by NAIA and junior colleges to continue his football career, but there's only one school he's ever had an interest playing for, CSU. Since his grades won't allow him to enroll in the fall, he plans on attending Front Range Community College in Fort Collins to get his associate's degree before transferring in, similar to what former star running back Kapri Bibbs — now a Denver Bronco — did, Stank said, but as a walk-on.
At 5-7, Stank's height likely contributed to the lack of attention he got from big-time colleges. He played center at his high school and his coach said he was a great fit for his offense's system.
According to the Coloradoan, he got offensive line pointers from former Colorado State coach Jim McElwain. With McElwain now at Florida, Stank likely won't be playing for him in the near future, though we hope he can go from mascot to player. It'd be a pretty cool story.

Steve Spurrier: I still think Joe Paterno got a bad deal
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier still thinks Penn State coach Joe Paterno was treated unfairly during the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
The former Penn State coach was fired from his post as the scandal involving his defensive coordinator took off. The topic of Paterno came up when Spurrier referenced him in an interview with The State about turning 70 years old. Spurrier's birthday was Monday.
Question: When you were 50 years old, what did you think about guys who were coaching in their 70s?
Answer: Well, there weren’t many. There weren’t many because just nobody did it. Nobody lasted that long, and most of the time they didn’t last that long because at some point they quit winning as much as they used to win. Bobby Bowden, of course, went a long time, and they finally had to tell him, ‘You’re finished.’ Joe Paterno was still there. That was very unfortunate what happened up there. I still think he got a bad deal, got a terrible deal.
Q: In terms of taking so much blame?
A: Correct. He did what the head coach is supposed to do. He told the athletic director, and (the AD) and the president let it die down I guess, and of course it flared up later. He was a good guy, a good friend. I liked him.
The interview with the State came on the heels of the publication of Spurrier's workout video.
Paterno told vice president Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley when he was told of allegations surrounding Sandusky. In testimony to a grand jury before his death, Paterno said he figured Curley would handle the allegations "appropriately." They were not.
Shortly after his firing in November 2011, Paterno died in January 2012 at 85.
As part of the NCAA's punishment against Penn State, a portion of Paterno's wins were vacated in addition to a bowl ban, scholarship reductions and a fine. The NCAA reinstated Paterno's wins in January as part of a settlement agreement.
