Yesterday the four LSU players involved in the bar brawl were interviewed by police, but no arrest were made. In fact police now say the investigation could take an additional 7 to 10 days to wrap up, which is good news for Tiger fans because if it is the latter then that would mean charges won’t come until after the Oregon game.

But no matter how long the players manage to put it off, as the spokesperson for the Baton Rouge Police Department put it… there’s still “a good chance arrests will be made”. Especially since we now know one of the four victims suffered three fractured vertebrae during the fight.

More new details below…

I know you’ve already seen the all red uniforms that Nike made especially for UGA to wear for their September 3rd game versus Boise State, but I bet you haven’t seen these babies, the UGA Nike Trainer 1.3 Max… one of three shoes part of the College Football Rivalry Pack, which will also feature custom Nike Trainers for Oregon and Boise State. Must be nice.

There is nothing a hate more than a snitch is a snitch that gets rewarded for snitching… and that’s what the NCAA is doing, giving certain student athletes immunity for spilling the beans about Shapiro. As we told you in our piece yesterday…

There are 21 current student athletes that were mentioned in the Yahoo!Sports report as having received gifts from Miami booster Nevin Shapiro, but the NCAA is only questioning the eligibility of 12-15 athletes currently enrolled at Miami.

Which means almost a dozen student athletes who violated NCAA rules have gotten off scotch free. What gives? Well according to the VP of NCAA enforcement Julie Roe Lach, ”the enforcement staff has been given, by the membership, a pretty important investigative tool”… limited immunity.

In what has to be the craziest news of the day.

For some reason Hawaii is considering traveling almost 4000 miles in order to play a regular season football game in Japan. Japan! And while they have not picked an opponent for the Rainbows to face yet, after all they aren’t planning on holding the game until 2014 at the earliest… Hawaii’s athletic director has already met with the owners of the Osaka Dome, where the proposed game would take place. WTF! [via]

Well that was quick. Less than a week after the Iowa Corn Growers Association unveiled the new design for the Cy-Hawk Trophy (given out to the winner of the Iowa vs Iowa State football game), depicting a family huddled bushle of corn… they’ve announced today that they’re scrapping it because well it sucked.

More on its replacement below…

Player: Randall Mackey
Team: Ole’ Mississippi – Football
Charge:  Disorderly Failure to Comply
Arrest Date: August 21, 2011

Police Report: Mackey was arrested at 12:26 am for allegedly being involved in a fight at The Lyric. But wait there’s more… also arrested lass than an hour later was his teammate tight end Jamal Mosley, who was booked on charges of being drunk in public (it is unknown if he was arrested at the same bar).

Maryland is not getting just one new football uniform this season, but technically they’re getting 32. The Terps unveiled their new digs at a “fashion show” earlier today… with players showing off all the new jersey and the pants colors that that they have to chose from.

And yes that is all 16 of the different color combos that players will now be able to wear in the picture above, but lets not forget about the helmets… throw those in the mix and it increases the combination choices to 32. Man all these colors is making my head hurts. [via]
