Heisman Pundit: Nice work by the Pundit, which has a complete breakdown of the ABC/ESPN and ESPN2 broadcast teams. To correct an earlier post, Kirk Herbstreit will remain on the "College GameDay" crew.

Burnt Orange Nation: The Texas site has an interview with Austin American-Statesman columnist Kirk Bohls.

Jake Curtis, San Francisco Chronicle: Did the $3 million settlement with former coach Gary Barnett and the $700,000 buyout of replacement Dan Hawkins of Boise State lead to the termination of the Colorado men's tennis program?

Hilary Kindschuh, Lincoln Journal Star: Police have released the details of an incident with a Nebraska recruit who is facing burglary and sexual abuse charges in Oregon.
