Deion Sanders appeared on NFL Network today to talk about his involvement with now-suspended Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant and his possible role in tampering with now-49ers receiver Michael Crabtree. Sanders was in rehearsed, hyper-defensive mode, which made for a plethora of unintentionally hilarious moments.

Dez Bryant wrote a message on his Facebook page today that confirmed what some have suspected: Bryant’s suspension was the result of Oklahoma State trying to end his relationship with Deion Sanders, not an NCAA rules violation.

Bryant’s message on Facebook, via THE BIG LEAD:

Sports media is abuzz today about the botched contract of Michael Crabtree, who Mike Florio of PFT reports will get a full $2M per year less than Darius Heyward-Bey.

Almost immediately after Crabtree’s cave-in was announced, we got word that another prized Big 12 wide receiver, Dez Bryant of Oklahoma State, had been declared ineligible for […]

If one were to craft a hierarchy of perceived importance to college sports, in terms of its divisions, one would think that the order would go like this: 1) BCS schools, 2) non-BCS I-A schools, 3) I-AA schools, 4) HBCUs.

A couple weeks ago, we brought you the story of George Mason basketball coach Jim Larranaga tweeting a couple sarcastic remarks about the NCAA’s ridiculous - but true - restrictions on bagels given to players as snacks.

After all, going 3-9 at Michigan is like going 0-12 at most other schools and having half your team arrested for something the authorities ominously refer to as “gross horse exploitation.” So it has to […]

There are, at its latest count, 439 pages of NCAA Division I compliance regulations. And sure, with so many coaches looking to circumvent creatively comply with those rules, it makes sense that the expansion is inevitable; every time a coach gets an insane idea to entice a recruit to campus, a rule’s got to be […]

Earlier today, the college football media (or at least Spencer Hall) was abuzz, agape, and agog at the news that the Clemson Tigers football team would be forced by the ACC to give up two preseason practices for the strange, strange violation of improper and illegal benefits underpants (padded compression shorts). Everybody seemed confused by […]

Generally, when someone is under oath in a court of law and avows that she was given use of a credit card to steer her son to play for a specific college football team, that’s bad news bears. NCAA commences frowning, heads roll, etc.

But when that same person’s own lawyer backtracks on those statements in […]
