An A&M Regent Is Already Calling For Kevin Sumlin's Head

Jim Harbaugh And Jim McElwain Are In A Very Silly Standoff
Michigan and Florida open their seasons against each other on Saturday.

Reports: College Football Players Will Play In Michigan-Florida Game
Jim Harbaugh is confirmed to be coaching a football team up in Ann Arbor, but right now, that’s about all he’ll tell you.

Welp, ESPN Shot Itself In The Dick

On the heels of Frank Broyles’s first most significant moment of his career, he got foreshadowing of the second, still a quarter of a century away.

Brian Kelly Has His Excuses Ready
“Brian Kelly is not pulling back,” Bleacher Report’s Matt Hayes writes in his feature on the Notre Dame football coach.

Report: Hugh Freeze Called Escorts On Ole Miss Recruiting Trips For Years<em></em>

Josh Rosen Gets Brutally Honest About The Tension Between College Football And School
UCLA QB Josh Rosen is expected to be a high pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
