A letter to the editor led to the removal of the kiss cam at Syracuse.

Syracuse.com published the letter on Friday. Syracuse had a home game Saturday against Central Michigan. The kiss cam wasn't done at the stadium. And according to Syracuse officials, the future of the in-game feature is being assessed.

From Syracuse.com:

"We are taking the time to assess the concerns expressed in the letter to the editor. We discussed this with POMCO, the sponsor, and they supported that approach," Sue Edson, executive senior associate athletics director for communications, said in an email.

The New York Mets stopped showing opposing players together for comedic effect on the Citi Field kiss cam after a fan's efforts to stop the practice. The letter to the editor didn't echo the Mets fan's sentiments, though he said the story about the Mets' removal of the gag inspired him to write about Syracuse's kiss cam.

Rather it detailed examples from the Orange's game against Wake Forest on September 12 within the context of the efforts across college campuses to stop sexual assault.

The first two people (and probably most people that wind up on the kiss cam) were happy to oblige the camera. However, the cameraman then scanned into the student section where a young man and a young woman were shown. Clearly not a couple, the male student pleaded his case for a kiss on the big screen while the female adamantly shook her head no. So what does this guy do? He grabs her head and shoves his tongue down her throat, the crowd cheers.

The letter continued.

No one has the right to forcefully touch someone be it a hug, a kiss or a violent rape.
I adamantly insist that Syracuse University student government, the chancellor, the athletic director, etc. review what happened last weekend and seriously consider the ramifications of what they are encouraging.

Syracuse's next home game is Saturday against LSU, one of the biggest non-conference home games in recent Syracuse memory. The Orange, 3-0, have three more home games following the LSU game.

Oklahoma's game against West Virginia on October 3 was selected for an 11 a.m. CT kickoff time. The game, which will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1, is the fifth Oklahoma home game of the last seven home games to have an 11 a.m. start.

Unsurprisingly, Oklahoma officials aren't too happy with all of the 11 a.m. starts.

"We were extremely disappointed to learn today that the television network had set our West Virginia game for 11 a.m," Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said in a statement to the Oklahoma Daily. "As illustrated by 100 consecutive sellouts, our fans are loyal and resilient, but we understand completely the hardship this creates for them, especially if it happens too often or consecutively.

"On their behalf, we registered our concern with the Big 12 office immediately this morning and are working closely with the conference staff to address this problem and minimize early starts in the future."

The only two games at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium that haven't been 11 a.m. starts in the seven-game span were against Oklahoma State in 2014 and the season-opener against Akron this season. The Akron game was televised via pay-per-view rather than a part of the Big 12's television contract.

Oklahoma's dissatisfaction with 11 a.m. kickoffs isn't isolated. Minnesota's governor tried to ban the practice at the end of 2014 and an Alabama state senator brought up the topic in a legislative session last week.

The school realizes the necessity of the starts, however. The television contracts the Big 12 has are an important source of revenue for the schools and more games on television equal more money and more exposure. But you can also understand Oklahoma's frustration; the Sooners are a blue-blood program and would like to have more starts in the afternoon and evening.

“I do have a problem with it,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said when asked about the topic on Monday (via NewsOK.com). “I'm sure our administration does and fans do. We'll express that to the league. Hopefully, everyone can have a fair amount of early and late kicks and mix it up a little better.”

UCF’s 0-3 season just got worse on Tuesday as the program announced star running back William Stanback has been dismissed from the team.

"William Stanback has been dismissed from the football team for continuous failure to comply with athletic policy and team rules," the statement read.

The school did not give a specific reason for the dismissal, but ESPN's Joe Schad cited sources saying it was for multiple failed marijuana tests.

Stanback, a junior, was an First Team All-AAC player a year ago after rushing for 697 yards and 10 touchdowns. He did deal with several injuries last season, but was ready for a fresh start behind a seasoned offensive line.

"I dealt with injuries last year and ... it kind of took my confidence a little bit down," Stanback told the Orlando Sentinel in August. "And this year, I have all the abilities and tools and teammates to push me to do what I have to do in leading this team to another conference championship."

However, he’s only played in two games this season and had 12 rushes for 11 yards and one catch for three yards. His play is a microcosm of the Knights' offensive play as a whole this season. The Knights have managed just 36 points, which is the worst in the AAC and Stanback had been surpassed by freshman Taj McGowan, who has 35 carries for 111 yards.

Stanback told Schad he would transfer, sit out a season and play a final year as a redshirt senior.

Coach George O'Leary is scheduled to address the media following Tuesday’s practice.

Here’s a tip: when you bet on a game, it’s best not to involve a tattoo. Alabama student Alex Franz learned this the hard way.

Franz made a bet on the Alabama-Ole Miss game with his friend Cam Wood, an Ole Miss student, and the loser had to get a tattoo. The Rebels came out on top 43-37, and Franz held up his end of the bet by getting a Colonel Red tattoo on, well, you’ll see.

If the game had gone the other way with Alabama winning, Wood would have had “RMFT” tattooed on a similar spot, according to Saturday Down South.

Franz told SDS that he’s more upset about Alabama’s loss than his new ink.

“A bet’s a bet and I wasn’t going to back out,” he said.

Franz will probably have a hard time forgetting the loss.

Big Ten teams must play at least one Power Five opponent on their non-conference slate each season beginning in 2016, but the league is also allowing games against certain Group of Five teams to meet that requirement as well.

According to ESPN, independents Army, BYU and Notre Dame count toward the requirement, as do Cincinnati and Connecticut of the American Athletic Association. Big Ten senior associate commissioner confirmed the exceptions for Cincinnati and Connecticut.

Indiana (2021-22), Michigan (2017), Nebraska (2020, 2025) and Ohio State (2019) already have Cincinnati on future schedules while Illinois (2019-20) and Indiana (2019-20) will face UConn in the coming years.

[Check out Dr. Saturday on Tumblr for things you won’t see on the blog]

According to ESPN, not all AAC schools will count, but Big Ten senior associate commissioner Mark Rudner said that Big Ten schools “may ask for exemptions” concerning both teams from the AAC and other Group of Five leagues.

From ESPN:

Rudner added the league would evaluate any other non-Power 5 schools – programs in the AAC, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt leagues – brought up by a Big Ten school and decide whether they would count as a Power 5 opponent based on their RPI rankings in recent years and other factors.

The ACC will also require its teams to play a nonconference Power Five opponent beginning in 2016 while the SEC will begin the practice in 2017. The Pac-12 and Big 12 have not enacted such a rule.

BYU and Notre Dame will both meet the ACC and SEC’s Power Five requirement, with the SEC also including Army. The ACC and SEC rules will not include other Group of Five opponents.

In addition to its nonconference Power Five requirement, the Big Ten, beginning in 2016, will become the first league to not allow its teams to schedule FCS opponents.

A day after it was determined that UCLA’s Ishmael Adams would not face a felony charge stemming from his August arrest, Bruins head coach Jim Mora reinstated the junior cornerback to the team.

Mora confirmed Adams’ reinstatement to reporters Tuesday morning – four days before the ninth-ranked Bruins head to Tucson to face No. 16 Arizona to kick off Pac-12 play.

Adams has been suspended from the team since his Aug. 30 arrest on suspicion of felony robbery. Adams was accused of using force to steal a cell phone from an Uber driver. He could still potentially face a misdemeanor charge, but the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office decided Monday not to pursue a felony charge against Adams.

“We feel, as a program, he’s missed a quarter of his season and he’s shown remorse. He has accepted responsibility, he’s accepted the consequences, he’s apologized profusely to his teammates, the staff and come back with a great attitude,” Mora said of Adams. “We’re going to move forward. If things change, we’ll adjust. But we feel like given the circumstances and the fact that he has served a significant penalty, we’re going to reinstate him. We made that decision. We feel confident about that decision.” 

Adams, a redshirt junior, started all 13 games for UCLA last year and was a first-team All-Pac-12 selection. Adams, one of the nation’s top kick returners, also started every game for the Bruins in 2013 and led the team with four interceptions.

He has not played in a game this season for the 3-0 Bruins.

The return of Adams is big for UCLA, especially with the news that fellow starting cornerback Fabian Moreau is out for the season with a foot injury. 

Moreau, who will have surgery on Tuesday, started the first three games for the Bruins this year and 28 combined over the past three seasons. Coming into the season, Moreau, a senior, had 109 career tackles. 

“He’s a three-year starting corner – a great player. It’s a huge blow," Mora said. "That’s part of this game unfortunately and you have to take the mindset that the next guy’s got to step up and perform. You’re never going to go through a season unscathed.”

Mora said Moreau would likely pursue a medical redshirt.

Purdue and South Carolina are going to have new starting quarterbacks for Week 4.

Both Purdue coach Darrell Hazell and South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier made the announcements Tuesday. Spurrier said freshman QB Lorenzo Nunez would start against Central Florida. Nunez is South Carolina's third starting quarterback of the season.

Nunez was a four-star recruit in the class of 2015 and the No.16 dual-threat quarterback according to Rivals. He replaces Perry Orth as South Carolina's starter. Orth became the No. 1 quarterback as Connor Mitch deals with hip and shoulder injuries.

Orth struggled in the Gamecocks' blowout loss to Georgia. He was 6-17 for 66 yards and an interception. He's 21-39 for 269 yards a touchdown and two interceptions on the season. He split time during the game with Nunez.

Mitch started the season as South Carolina's starting quarterback but suffered a hip injury against North Carolina and seperated his shoulder against Kentucky. The hip injury sent him to the hospital because of the bruising and he was back at the hospital over the weekend for a blood transfusion.

Nunez is 4-5 passing for 18 yards and has 12 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown in 2015.

"He gives us a spark running the ball. We need to spread out and run the ball. That's where we are," Spurrier said via GamecockCentral.

In addition, Spurrier says they'll have have three to four new starters on defense. And true freshman Zack Bailey will start at center.

Blough is replacing Austin Appleby for Purdue against Bowling Green.

Appleby was 9-28 passing for 110 yards and two interceptions in Purdue's 51-24 loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday. He's 60-110 for 669 yards five touchdowns and six interceptions in 2015. Blough, a redshirt freshman from Carrollton, Texas, has attempted eight passes in 2015. He was the No. 19 pro-style quarterback in the class of 2014.

The much-anticipated Jeremy Johnson Era at Auburn has officially ended — for now.

Coach Gus Malzahn announced Tuesday that redshirt freshman Sean White would start Saturday’s game against Mississippi State.

Malzahn told media he felt like White needed a shot at being the starter.

"He's our starting quarterback going into this game,’ Malzahn said. “We'll get behind him and I know his teammates will also. He's a talented young guy. We're excited to see what he can do."

The change isn’t exactly unexpected. Johnson has struggled mightily in his first three games as starter. He’s completed jut 59.7 percent of his passes for 473 yards and five touchdowns, and he’s also thrown six interceptions.

The problem is that Johnson was having difficulty reading defenses, which has stunted the Auburn offense greatly. Auburn has scored just 79 points this season, which is the fewest points for an SEC West team that's played three games.

White was an Elite 11 MVP in 2012. As a senior at University Nova South High School in Boca Raton, Fla., he passed for 2,679 yards and 30 touchdowns. Johnson beat him out in the spring, but with Johnson’s struggles, the calls for White to play have been loud.

White has never taken a collegiate snap, but Malzahn has faith he'll peform well, especially since the game is at home.

"Sean White is a good quarterback, I expect him to play well," Malzahn said. "Yes it's his first start, but I expect him to play well."

Utah State quarterback Chuckie Keeton just cannot stay healthy.

USU head coach Matt Wells announced Tuesday that Keeton is out 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL in his right knee. Wells said Keeton, who missed most of the last two seasons with knee injuries, was injured in the first half of the Aggies’ loss to Washington over the weekend.

Keeton previously tore his left ACL and MCL against BYU in October 2013 but was able to return for the start of the 2014 season, which would have been his senior year. However, Keeton reinjured his left knee against Wake Forest in Week 3 of the 2014 season and was never cleared to return to action.

[Check out Dr. Saturday on Tumblr for things you won’t see on the blog]

Utah State petitioned the NCAA to allow Keeton to return for a fifth year, and it was granted in February. 

Keeton threw for 3,373 yards and 27 touchdowns while running for 619 yards and eight more scores in 2012 to earn All-WAC honors. Before injuring his knee in 2013, Keeton threw for 1,388 yards and 18 touchdowns for the Aggies.

With Keeton again out of the starting lineup, Wells said sophomore Kent Myers would assume starting duties for the Aggies (1-2). Myers saw extensive playing time late in the 2014 campaign after No. 2 quarterback Darell Garretson was injured. In seven games played, Myers threw for 866 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions while also rushing for 310 yards and five more scores.

Garretson transferred to Oregon State in the offseason.

Utah State has a bye this weekend before opening Mountain West play at home against Colorado State on Oct. 3.

Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan suffered a sprained left ankle in the Cardinal's win over USC and is listed as questionable for Stanford's game Friday night against Oregon State.

Hogan was injured early in the third quarter. He completed the game, though he was clearly hobbled. The injury happened when his ankle turned outward as a defender fell on it.

"He probably won't practice until late in the week," Stanford coach David Shaw said via CardinalSports.com.

"It is an ankle sprain. It's not as bad as it could have been. He's already progressed in the last 24 hours pretty nicely. It's undetermined what percentage and all that stuff - not really sure. So some combination of Keller Chryst and Ryan Burns will be taking basically the majority of the reps all week. If Kevin is ready to play on game day he's going to play. If he can't play then some combination of those other two guys will play."

Hogan was fantastic as Stanford, which lost to Northwestern in Week 1, toppled USC 41-31. He was 18-23 passing for 279 yards and two touchdowns. Because Hogan is a fifth-year senior, Shaw said he's not too worried if Hogan isn't able to get any practice reps at all. Because the game against the Beavers is Friday night, Hogan has one less day to recover.

Shaw also said he had heard from some former Stanford players who texted him to say how impressed they were with the way Hogan played after the injury.

"We're not talking about a kid here," Shaw said. "We're talking about a fifth year senior who has played a lot of football. We filmed a lot of stuff today on our virtual reality that he'll be able to go through and make sure that he gets those visual reps. So I'm not worried about him mentally or emotionally. It's just physical. If he can do it he'll play. And there might be some combination in there between where maybe he can play and maybe not do everything. We'll see how that goes."

NCAA executive Oliver Luck told a group of college athletics officials in Dallas on Tuesday that harsh punishments were still in place for athletes found gambling on college sports, including those participating in daily fantasy.

… any athlete found to be gambling on college sports (includes daily fantasy such as Draft Kings) automatically loses a year of eligibility.

— Scott Stricklin (@stricklinMSU) September 22, 2015

The NCAA, which has a anti-gambling campaign called “Don’t Bet On It,” does not allow sports gambling of any kind when it comes to collegiate athletics.

The NCAA opposes all forms of legal and illegal sports wagering, which has the potential to undermine the integrity of sports contests and jeopardizes the welfare of student-athletes and the intercollegiate athletics community. This section contains links to resources on the history and pervasiveness of wagering in intercollegiate athletics, as well as resources to help administrators and student-athletes keep their programs and teams clear of gambling-related problems.

According to NCAA rules, student athletes are required to sign affidavits prior to championship contests that tend to promote and generate the most gambling.

During the first three weeks of the college football season, ESPN referenced point spreads throughout its college football coverage. On Monday, it said it would stop using the term “cover alert,” but that it wouldn’t prohibit its studio shows from using gambling references.

“We did it once. I didn’t like it, and we stopped it,” John Wildhack, ESPN’s executive vice president of programming and production told the Sports Business Journal. “To me, it was too overt. Part of everything we do has a little bit of trial and error.”

Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott told USA Today that his network would not be airing commercials for gambling sites.

“The NCAA has taken a position that we can set the rules, and we don’t support it,” Scott told USA Today. “So that’s where we’ve drawn the line.”

The girlfriend and mother of suspended Rutgers WR Leonte Carroo have been charged by Rutgers police for their roles in an incident after the team's game against Washington State in Week 2.

Carroo was suspended by the team following the incident after he allegedly slammed a woman to the ground. The woman, 21 and a former Rutgers athletics ambassador, was formerly involved in a relationship with Carroo. His mother and girlfriend were also part of the incident.

From MyCentralJersey.com:

Lavern Carroo, 41, from Edison, and Maria Vega, 20, from Fort Lee, were two of three people charged. Juan Vega, 52 from Fort Lee, were charged today by the RUPD for simple assault and disorderly conduct, Rutgers police said.

Actions of those charged included general fighting behavior, specifically hair pulling and striking a victim in the face with a hand, police said.

Less than an hour after a football game ended, Carroo reportedly intervened in a confrontation between his girlfriend and a woman with whom he previously was romantically involved, who at that time worked for Rutgers athletics as a recruiting ambassador. Gannett New Jersey confirmed those reports.

Carroo, an All-Big Ten selection in 2014, has been charged with simple assault and domestic violence. The site said the investigation into the incident by Rutgers police is still ongoing. Carroo has pled not guilty.

The alleged victim told NorthJersey.com that she remembers being slammed to the ground by Carroo.

After hitting the ground, she said, she believes she blacked out for about 10 seconds. “When I looked up, I had a crowd of about 15 people around me. One girl was hitting me with a [traffic] cone,” she said.

“I have never been so scared,” she said.

Rutgers coach Kyle Flood is currently suspended three games for violating protocol by emailing a faculty member to inquire about the grades of a football player. The player is no longer on the team after he was dismissed following assault allegations from an April incident.

Carroo had 55 catches for 1,086 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2014. He was suspended for the first half of the team's opening game against Norfolk State for a curfew violation and has seven catches for 181 yards and three touchdowns in 2015.

The rivalry between Baylor and TCU is getting real. Coaches are now referencing arrests at other schools.

TCU coach Gary Patterson poked Baylor on Tuesday when he was asked about the arrests of Mike Tuaua and Andre Petties-Wilson. The two players were arrested for assaulting and robbing three students on September 4 and are facing felony robbery charges.

Tuaua has been suspended since September 7 while Petties-Wilson hasn't played in TCU's last two games either.

"All I care (about) is a 50-50 deal," Patterson said at his new conference today via DallasNews.com. "In this kid's case, Mike Tuaua, we'll find out what the facts are. It'll all come out. I just hope when they all come out, you report it just as strongly as what you've done here because it's not even close to what happened south of here."

"South of here" is a very likely reference to the situation involving former Baylor defensive end Sam Ukwuachu, who was convicted of raping a former Baylor soccer player. Ukwuachu never played a down for Baylor after transferring from Boise State. The sexual assault occurred in the fall of 2013 and Ukwuachu wasn't indicted in the incident until the summer of 2014.

Ukwuachu was dismissed from Boise State's football team following an alleged history of violent incidents. A former girlfriend at Boise State had accused him of domestic violence during the trial. Boise State said it had no knowledge of any domestic violence incidents while Ukwuachu was at the school and former Boise State coach Chris Petersen has said he told Baylor coach Art Briles about Ukwuachu before the Bears took him as a transfer.

Did Patterson cross the line? If you're a Baylor fan you probably think so. While he's undoubtedly upset about the attrition on his defense both through suspension and injury, the attrition has nothing to do with Baylor, who doesn't play TCU until November.

Tuaua is also one of Baylor's captains. So the role may also play into his defensiveness.

"I'm just going to tell you something right now when it comes to Mike Tuaua," Patterson said. "I named him captain, but outside (of football) in our community, with kids, he's the most-liked kid we have on our team beside (quarterback) Trevone Boykin."

We'll see if Briles offers any response back to Patterson. The best bet may be to not say anything at all.

If you're a regular reader of Dr. Saturday you've seen our posts recently about the fans at Miami who have paid for banners above Hurricanes games in 2015 to ask for the removal of Miami coach Al Golden.

A Florida State fan wanted to respond to the Miami movement. So he started a GoFundMe page to fly a banner requesting Miami keep Al Golden. The banner would be flown over Doak Campbell Stadium on October 10 when Miami visits Florida State.

[Check out Dr. Saturday on Tumblr for things you won’t see on the blog]

His GoFundMe goal was $500. And he's now well over the goal thanks to a $500 donation.

A donation came in late last night in the name of Laurence Leavy. You may recognize the name. He's "Marlins Man;" the lawyer who shows up at sporting events in Miami Marlins garb. He was a fixture at the 2014 World Series.

Huey Lewis. No news pic.twitter.com/tATiw68B7J

— Marlins Man (@Marlins_Man) October 25, 2014

We aren't certain the donation is actually from Leavy himself, but if it is, it's certainly another note in his sports history. Golden is 31-22 as Miami's coach, though he's .500 in ACC play.

We'll see if the banner actually takes flight above the game. And hopefully this is one of the last moves in the great Florida banner war of 2015. This can't keep continuing, can it?

UMass WR Jalen Williams said he was mistreated by police after he was arrested Sunday morning.

According to WWLP.com, Williams was charged with breaking and entering of a vehicle and larceny under $250.

The 22News I-Team obtained the court documents which state that Williams and Ruben Encarnacion were pulled over after an initial report of the car break-in on North Pleasant Street in Amherst around 1:30am Sunday morning.  The complaint says that the two suspects broke into a car and left after its alarm sounded.  Police found the victim’s social security card and debit card next to the car.   After the police stopped the car they believed the suspects were in, they found another debit card that belonged to another person. Neither Williams nor Encarnacion could explain why it was in the car.

Then the site said Williams said he was arguing with one of the police officers while in the back of the car. The officer then slammed his brakes and Williams said he hit his head on the window of the car, which prompted the officer to ask "How do you like that?" He also said he had to walk home shirtless after his shirt was confiscated for evidence.

UMass police are investigating the incident, though a complaint has not been filed.

Williams also said he's been suspended from the team following the arrest. He hasn't participated in any games in 2015 because of injuries. He had three starts as a junior in 2014 and finished with 20 catches for 307 yards and four touchdowns. He transferred to UMass from Dean College before the 2014 season.

UCLA is going to be without one of its best players for the rest of the season.

Coach Jim Mora said Wednesday that linebacker Myles Jack is out for the remainder of 2015 because of a knee injury.

Jack had the game-sealing interception in UCLA's 24-23 win over BYU. He has 15 tackles in three games.

He had 87 tackles as a linebacker in 2014. The junior has also been a dual-threat for UCLA and got two carries for seven yards and a touchdown this season. He has 68 career carries for 387 yards and 11 touchdowns; seven of those came in his freshman season.

UCLA plays Arizona on Saturday in Week 4's biggest game. It'll be the first game Jack, a potential All-Pac 12 player and high pick in the 2016 NFL draft, has missed in his Bruin career. UCLA reinstated CB Ishmael Adams on Tuesday but also said that Fabian Moreau, one of its starting cornerbacks, would be out for the season. So that's two impactful injuries in two days for a Bruin team that's one of the best in the Pac-12 South.

The Bruins have also lost DT Eddie Vanderdoes to a season-ending injury.

While UCLA is without Jack on Saturday night, Arizona could get All-American Scooby Wright back. Wright suffered a meniscus injury in the first game of the season and has been targeting Pac-12 play to return. Wright returned to practice this week and is considered a game-time decision.

The lawyer for suspended Rutgers wide receiver Leonte Carroo said his client never touched the alleged victim in an assault that happened after Rutgers' Week 2 game against Washington State.

Carroo has been charged with assault, along with his mother and girlfriend. The alleged victim in the incident – who was previously in a relationship with Carroo – has said she was slammed to the ground by Carroo.

The lawyer, William Fetky, said a friend of Carroo's will testify that he grabbed the woman's arm and pushed her to the ground. Fetky also claims that the woman who is the alleged victim is the one who started the incident. Carroo has been charged with assault and has pled not guilty. Fetky also said two cell phone videos will prove his statements.

[Check out Dr. Saturday on Tumblr for things you won’t see on the blog]

From NJ.com:

"Everything indicates that she is the only one who should be charged in this," Fetky said.

Fetky said Carroo instead grabbed Maria Vega to get her out of the fight, and never touched anyone else. Vega, who has also been charged with assault in the incident, suffered a few scratches and bruises from the event, he said.

Vega has been identified as Carroo's girlfriend. The alleged victim has obtained a temporary restraining order against Carroo and is seeking a permanent one. She has said she temporarily blacked out as she was slammed to the ground and remembers being attacked by a woman with a traffic cone. The incident is still under investigation.

Carroo was suspended indefinitely from the football team following the incident and, per a spokesperson to NJ.com, is still a student at the school. He was an all-Big Ten selection in 2014.

Former UCLA tight end Chris Clark told Rivals.com that the Bruins have blocked his transfer Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State.

Clark, a top-rated player from the 2015 class, had previously committed to Michigan before ultimately signing with the Bruins. Clark decided to switch his commitment when coach Brady Hoke was fired on Dec. 2 even though coach Jim Harbaugh continued to pursue him.

Clark played in the season opener against Virginia, but did not travel with the Bruins to UNLV. He transferred before the start of the academic quarter.

Clark’s time with the Bruins started poorly as he missed the first week of the preseason while recovering from mononucleosis. According to the Orange County Register, during Clark’s second practice he was on the receiving end of a profanity-laced tirade from coach Jim Mora, who was upset with Clark because he arrived late to practice with a cell phone in his hand.

According to the O.C. Register, “Mora told Clark he would drive him to the airport so he could transfer to Rutgers or a junior college.”

Clark is currently home in New Jersey sorting through schools, organizing official visits and hoping to have a new place to play by November. He told Rivals.com he has scheduled visits at Pittsburgh on Oct. 9, Virginia on Oct. 16 and N.C. State on Oct. 31

"I'm really looking at schools that fit me closer to home," Clark told Rivals.com. "I like some of the ACC schools. Maryland is definitely in the mix. I like Pittsburgh a lot too. I like coach Narduzzi. He was one of the guys recruiting me at Michigan State. I do like N.C. State a lot. They were one of my first offers and they've stuck around with me through all this."

Sophomore outside linebacker Marques Gayot suffered a neck injury following a head-to-head collision during Wednesday’s practice, and was airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center.

The Miami athletic department emailed a statement shortly after the incident saying he was “transported to the hospital for precautionary reasons.”

The university updated Gayot’s condition saying he was expected to make a full recovery.

“[Gayot] has undergone a battery of tests and will be kept overnight for precaution. He will be placed in a neck collar and released tomorrow morning. He is expected to make a full recovery. “

Gayot has played in all three games for the Hurricanes this season making seven tackles, including 2.5 for los and 1.5 sacks. He played in six games as a freshman a year ago.

According to various reports, a helicopter was sent to Miami’s practice field where Gayot was treated, stabilized and ultimately airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Coach Al Golden was scheduled to speak on the ACC conference call Wednesday, but missed the call “due to a situation.” He has not addressed this injury.

Miami, which is 3-0, is off this week and plays Cincinnati on Oct. 1.

Florida will be relying heavily on quarterback Will Grier on Saturday vs. Tennessee.

Per multiple reports, quarterback Treon Harris and cornerback Jalen Tabor have been suspended. Florida coach Jim McElwain confirmed the suspensions Wednesday afternoon.

Harris has made one start at quarterback in 2015. He entered the season competing with Grier for the starting job and was the team's Week 1 starter. Since then, Grier has had the starting gig but McElwain hadn't committed to either QB as his starter for the Tennessee game. Grier played the entire game against Kentucky.

Grier is 39-57 passing for 442 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Harris is 19-27 for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Grier has 114 yards rushing on 19 carries while Harris has eight carries for 55 yards.

Harris started games in the second half of 2014 for Florida in relief of Jeff Driskel. He was briefly suspended in early October because of sexual assault allegations but was reinstated four days later after the accuser's complaint was withdrawn.

Tabor has made two starts for Florida in 2015. He has 10 tackles, four pass breakups and an interception that he returned 39 yards for a touchdown against East Carolina.
