A nibble here, a nibble there…

• Yesterday, Southern Cal had the appeal hearing for the NCAA sanctions it received in the wake of the Bush mess.  What do you figure the over/under was on the number of times the Trojans mentioned the Newtons?
• Kentucky thinks the Newtons are relevant precedent.  The NCAA disagrees.
• It’s hard to pack much more stupid in a column than this guy does.  Does he not recall what happened the last time the NCAA faced off against a member institution over television rights?
• Don’t laugh – according to these folks, Georgia had the ninth-most exciting college football regular season of 2010.
• First down means everything.
• In Todd Dodge’s first season at North Texas (2007), his assistant coaches were paid a total of $649,000.00.  Lane Kiffin can only shake his head over that.

• Not a good first day on the job for Stacey Searels, who saw his top recruit change his verbal commitment to Auburn.
• The story on the number of kids Georgia can sign this year is clear as mud.
