One player who was being counted on to replace Blackmon was

As expected, officials at West Virginia and the Big East Conference have reached an agreement that allows the Mountaineers to head for the Big 12 this fall while the Big East receives some $20 million for letting WVU out of its contract early. West Virginia had sued the Big East in its home state to get out of the league

Since Brigham Young University is an independent, it doesn’t have to wait for any conference issues to be ironed out before releasing its football schedule. And the Cougars have unveiled their schedule for 2012. Coming off an 10-3 season and a No. 25 finish in the Coaches Poll, the Cougars will have plenty of opportunities in their schedule to make

The 2012 quarterback derby at Auburn just got a little more wide open as former starter Barrett Trotter announced that he wouldn’t return to the Tigers next season. It’s uncertain whether he will transfer to another school — he’s already graduated, so he could play immediately at a Division I school — or make himself available for the NFL draft.

Recently here at WagerWeb.com, I wrote about how arguably the top prep quarterback recruit in the nation, Gunner Kiel, had verbally committed to LSU and was going to enroll in school this week. It thus wouldn’t have been shocking to see Kiel be the Tigers’ starting quarterback to open the fall as LSU tried to get back to the national

The 2011-12 college football season isn’t even 24 hours old but it’s already time to look toward next season.
