While you were away having something called “fun” this past weekend, the CFT crew was busy churning out update after update after update — after update — for your all’s consumption.
Here’s some of what you may have missed in the wide, wild and wacky world of offseason college football:
- While still lagging (far) (far) (faaarrr) behind the Big Ten and SEC, the Big 12 distributed a record amount to its member institutions this past fiscal year.
- Speaking of the SEC, pop the top and belly up to the bar as that conference voted and left in-game alcohol distribution up to its member schools.
- An unkempt academic house has led Michigan’s second-leading rusher in 2018 to be unavailable in 2019.
- Another Venables commits to Clemson, is set to join defensive coordinator father and linebacker brother -- and Dabo Swinney‘s sons and Kirk Herbstreit‘s twin sons, for that matter -- with the Tigers.
- The highest-rated member of Bret Bielema‘s last class at Arkansas is now at SMU.
- With no one under center standing out, TCU has pushed off naming a starting quarterback until summer camp (summer not fall, media dolts).
- UCLA added an FCS transfer on defense, while Western Kentucky added a Power Five graduate transfer from the same side of the ball.
