More Allegations Raised Against John Chadima, Former Wisconsin Official - SBNation.com
The University of Wisconsin has released an incident report regarding the resignation of former Associate Athletic Director John Chadima, alleging sexual assault of a student employee.
This had the potential to do similar things at Wisconsin that the Sandusky incident did at PSU. To the credit of the Badgers leadership they seem to have quickly acted. So long as nothing comes out indicating that they knew that this was going on they should be fine.
If, however, it turns out someone had a reason to know and kept their mouth shut it could get very ugly, very fast. But as Adam Hodge from SBNation's Bubky's 5th Quarter points out "Clearly, the Penn State scandal had an impact on how this incident was handled by the University of Wisconsin".
West Virginia entry to the big 12 is now true to a degree worthy of a web page

This time, we're assuming it's for real. Late Thursday night, a switch was flipped and the Big 12 website welcomed West Virginia to the conference. Considering the timing, this had to be a mistake, but we'll probably find out more on Friday.
The settlement getting them out of the Big East will reportedly cost the eer's 11 Million and cost the Big12 9 million.

What Can Returning Starter Data Predict About Season Momentum? - SBNation.com
It is one thing to understand that the number of starters a team returns from the previous year is particularly good or bad. It is another thing to look into when particularly experienced or inexperienced teams might be at their best or worst.
UB is returning between 16-19 starters depending on which weeks depth chart you look at. Temple and Toledo are in trouble.
Conference USA could lose the liberty Bowl
What U of M to the Big East means for the Liberty Bowl game - The Memphis Edge
It's no secret that SEC commissioner Mike Slive hasn't been a fan of the Liberty Bowl's deal that has the SEC playing the champion of a non-BCS league. In the most recent Liberty Bowl game, a clause in the bowl's contract allowed it to match Big East co-champion Cincinnati vs. Vanderbilt.
This, along with rumors about discussions about the future of UAB football continue to make Conference USA look like they are in serious trouble.

Hey UB! Wake Up! - Opinion - The Spectrum - University at Buffalo
This Saturday at 6 p.m. True Blue is attempting to break the student attendance record when the Bulls face off against Western Michigan in search of their eighth straight victory. "Sixth Man" T-shirts will be passed out to the first 1,500 UB students through the doors, and I can't think of a better message that could be sent.
The Western Michigan game is the second part of a doubleheader. The Ladies tip off against CMU in the earlier game.
