Don't beat yourself up, WestEnd. He's had all of three career starts (he'll be a senior this year). But credit the kid. He lost that QB battle to Kelly over three years ago and he never waived on his commitment. He stayed positive, stayed true, and worked hard. And all of that came to fruition as Brutus mentions that night at the Coliseum when he fired the Jael Mary to Jaelen Strong to beat USC. He threw up 510 yards and 5 touches that day. Proof that he is talented and can be the guy. For me personally I agree with the ASU coaches and would take Taylor Kelly all day long of the two for the reasons I mentioned. But Berco can get it done. Like I said if he takes care of the ball (a big if), he can have a big time season.

Former UNC, Marshall DB arrested for violating North Carolina sports agent law | CollegeFootballTalk

Former North Carolina and Rutgers defensive back Chris Hawkins appeared in an Orange County, N.C., court via teleconference Tuesday after he was arrested for acting as an agent and violating North Carolina law for attempting to lure college athletes to break NCAA agent rules,according to the Associated Press.

Hawkins has been charged with contacting former Tar Heels defensive end Robert Quinn on behalf of an agent by providing $13,700 in cash and helping Quinn secure another $1,700 through selling game-used equipment. He has also been charged with contacting UNC defensive back Jabari Price without being an agent and intentionally failing to register as an agent. The latter two charges are misdemeanors.

The Hawkins case is part of a larger probe by the North Carolina Secretary of State office for violating agent contact laws in the Tar Heel state. Quinn, along with defensive lineman Marvin Austin and wide receiver Greg Little, were suspended by the NCAA for violating the organization’s impermissible benefits bylaws. Little and Quinn were ruled ineligible by the NCAA, while UNC kicked Austin off the team. Ultimately all there were banished from the North Carolina athletics program.

Forty-three states have such laws regulating contact by agents, though anecdotal evidence says North Carolina’s are the most stringent. The state of Georgia recently adopted the “Todd Gurley” bill, which criminalizes the attempt to lure college athletes to accept benefits deemed impermissible by the NCAA.

As for Hawkins, Tuesday was just the initial appearance for his case, where District Court Judge Beverly Scarlett secured a $300,000 bond.

I wonder how many fucking sec teams will be in the preseason top 20 this year? Bunch of pole smokers.

It looks like they crammed 9 in the top 25 so far.

Oh bro I'm telling you if those sons of bitches would have beaten both ASU and Boise in the same season while walking away as Fiesta Bowl champions, I think I would have offed myself.

UAB doubles their attendance and gets the program cut.

Eastern Michigan got 15k average per game? That sounds like some Ann Arbor math of counting people two or three times.

 

[WestEndVol]

Yeah, not buying the Eastern Michigan one. 2-10 season but increased attendance by nearly 11k?
