    1. [On3]Dan Lanning on NFL players returning to CFB: "You’re a professional now, once you declare for the draft. So to let any of those players come back, fair or unfair to them, it’s unfair to the sport and I think it’s unfair to the players that are on current teams for those guys to be coming back."
    2. LaNorris Sellers has no classes and one internship at a driving range his senior year
    3. [College Transfer Portal] Sources say WR Dozie Ezukanma was BEATEN in the locker room by Jacob Fields and remains hospitalized. Ezukanma is unlikely to play in the Aug. 29 opener

    1. [Scott Van Pelt] So, a court in Colorado says the 5th year guys now aren’t eligible? But other suits in other states say guys can get a 5th. The whole thing, all of it, is such a circus.
    2. [Inside Texas] Steve Sarkisian sounded off on the state of college football, again. The Texas coach is not happy with the CFP selection process: "There are some other teams around the country, quite frankly, that play nobody in the non-conference."
    3. [Thamel] A power four personnel executive summed up the surreal scene in the wake of the Louisiana state ruling yesterday: “Pretty hilarious we are now cutting up NFL preseason games for late roster adds. It’s ridiculous.”
