Sorry for the delay on the college football news update. I’ve been busy working out some kinks in the new WordPress upgrade.

After a brawl on Saturday night between North Carolina Central and North Carolina A&T players, the heads of the schools traded apologies for what had happened. It took pepper spray and police and the coaches a few minutes to break up the melee.

It seems as though a lot of college football players are having run-ins with the law lately. Geno Hayes, a linebacker for the Florida State Seminoles, was arrested last Friday when he was involved in an altercation outside a bar. He was temporarily suspended from the team and has now lost his starting spot as he was demoted to the second team.

Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham had a warrant issued for his arrest after he missed a court hearing for a disorderly conduct charge from July 24th. After appearing in court on Wednesday, the charges were dropped.

Iowa State officials were looking for a new look to their uniforms and helmets so they let their fans vote on which one to choose. Voting ended and the fans made their choice. To see the new look, head over to the Cyclones web page by clicking here.

Former Arkansas coach Danny Nutt has been ordered by the SEC to stay out of the coaching booth. Nutt had resigned due to some health issues but since has gotten better. Because he was replaced, he has no official capacity with the team other than the fact that his brother Houston is the coach. The SEC has limits on how many coaches can be in the booth.

If you didn’t hear or see about this I’d be surprised. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy went on a little tirade after their win on Saturday over Texas Tech. He had an issue with an article written in the Daily Oklahoman that criticized one of his players. He never ended up talking about the game which they won. Texas Tech coach Mike Leach also went on a rant but his was about a different subject. Here is the video of Gundy’s rant.
