Ex-Texas DB Eryon Barnett passes away at age 24 | CollegeFootballTalk
Unfortunately, there’s some sad news that has hit the Texas football program this holiday weekend.

Montana State head coach Rob Ash confirmed in a statement Saturday that one of his former players,Eryon Barnett, passed away Saturday afternoon at a Bozeman hospital. Barnett was just 24 years old.

“We’re heartbroken by the loss of Eryon Barnett,” Ash said. “He fought through so much as a football player, and always showed a resilient spirit that everyone that knew him drew from and admired.”

According to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, no cause of death has been determined. An autopsy won’t be completed until Monday at the earliest.

16,200 athletes filed claim to receive NCAA video game payout | CollegeFootballTalk
A little more than a year ago the various legal battles involving former college football and basketball players against the NCAA, EA Sports and Collegiate Licensing Company resulted in a pair of settlements valued at approximately $60 million. Two-thirds of that was to be paid by EA Sports and the CLC, and the NCAA was on the hook for the remaining $20 million. Earlier this week final proposals for splitting the money among those college athletes making a claim was submitted for approval by U.S. District Judge. Those expecting some sort of payment could be looking at receiving a check anywhere between $1,000 and at least $6,700.

Athletes had until Thursday to make their claim, but it will still take some time before those checks start being mailed. First it must be known how many claims were filed, which will affect the payouts. According to a report from USA Today, nearly 16,200 athletes ended up submitting a claim, but each claim must be reviewed and approved by the firm tasked with confirming and approving the claims.

The NCAA has already made it known that no punishments will be handed down to any current student-athletes filing a claim if they end up receiving a check through this legal process.

Incoming BYU running back shot in arm | CollegeFootballTalk
Back in February BYU signee Charles Westwas charged with felony assault. Over the July 4th weekend, West was a victim in a shooting with a bullet being fired into his left arm.

The shooting incident reportedly took place Sunday at his old middle school, Coppell Middle School East. He and others were playing basketball when, according to The Dallas Morning News, a man walked up and shot West in the arm. West started running and was later transported to a nearby hospital for treatment on his arm. He was released Sunday night and police are still investigating the situation. It is unknown if West was a target, and no suspect has been apprehended.

It is also unknown if this incident has any connection to West’s previous arrest in February. West was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of marijuana just two days after National Signing Day.

A lawyer representing West says this latest shooting incident will have no impact on his client’s status at BYU.

That'd be my guess. I suppose it wasn't a complete loss for him. Nice little consolation prize there.
