The press release is citing "preliminary results of an external review into allegations involving the program," which were mostly related to player health. I don't know, those sounded kind of BS-ey to me.

And it looks like he's not eligible for his buyout. This report must be damning.

The timing is weird and I feel bad for the kids. Basically their season has been flushed down the terlet. Of course, their risk of turning into Schiavo has decreased significantly, so that's good.

Lane Kiffin going from Alabama OC to Illinois HC isn't falling up, as he is prone to do, but going from Alabama OC to Miami HC sure would be.

I haven't been able to follow this thread for a while, but I just came back for this. As much as I dislike Illinois and love to watch them lose that is some seriously hosed up poo poo. Good riddance to Beckman.
