Penn State Athletics Donations Dropped After Sandusky, But Football Giving Quintupled
It's hard to quantify the effect the Jerry Sandusky cover-up and resultant NCAA penalties had on Penn State. School pride bounced back from the body blow with a circle-the-wagons mentality. Recruiting took a hit, though far from the disaster some predicted. But with the release of an athletic depart...
Huskers Nation Flips Its Shit After Someone Thumbs-Downs Cute Video
In the Nebraska spring game, Red inserted an undersized but plucky tailback by the name of Jack Hoffman for a crucial fourth-down carry. It's worth mentioning that Jack is 7 years old and has suffered from brain cancer, and because the good folks at Nebraska realize what a bullshit deal it is to be ...
"Six-Month Investigation" Reveals Synthetic Marijuana "Epidemic" At Auburn

Enough Already With Military Family Reunions As Halftime Entertainment
I understand why we drag this poor mother before of an arena full of Bulls fans and give her the shock of a lifetime: her son, gone to war, now home, safe. It'd bring a tear to a glass eye....
Video: Texas Tech Coach Kliff Kingsbury's Swag Cannot Be Contained
When we last checked in with the Texas Tech football program, we were giggling like school children at this farcical email, sent from a booster to the school's deputy athletic director. Recall: the email was all about how to craft new head coach Kliff Kingsbury's image into one that would vault him...

Tree-Poisoner Harvey Updyke Will Spend Six Months In Jail And Five Years On Probation
Harvey Updyke, the Alabama football fan that, in 2010, poisoned two oak trees that figure prominently in Auburn athletic traditions, and then essentially confessed to the act (a Class-C felony in Alabama) unbidden on Paul Finebaum's radio show, accepted a plea deal on Friday.

Les Miles Dancing To Epic Sax Guy Is Perversely Hypnotic
So, LSU did one of those Harlem Shake videos and Les Miles danced in it. Some genius took a small portion of Les's role and looped it for 10 minutes and added Epic Sax Guy tunes. It's quite the cocktail. You will watch all 10 minutes of this and you will have no idea why. ...
West Virginia TV Station Graphic Refers To WVU Football Coach As "Dana Horsewomen"
West Virginia's not known for its excelsior journalism, but Charleston/Huntington NBC affiliate WSAZ has long been the flagship for getting it right in the Mountain State and is, seriously, a fantastic news operation.

A 1982 letter from Joe Paterno to one of his former players first popped up on CBS Sports last Thursday, and it also appeared on former NFL player Dustin Fox's Instagram account.
