This article mentions UMass recruit Jamar Smith (page 2), but the author keeps mentioning UMass and Akron in the same sentence. Last I heard, the Zips were not a FCS team.

I've blogged before about the Charlotte's 49's starting a football team. They'll start in FCS/I-AA.

To get a seat between the 30 yard lines, it will cost you $2,500 for a seat license plus a mandatory $1,500 pledge to the athletic dept. That's $4,000 and then you still have to pay for the season ticket!

It will cost you $500 plus the cost of the season ticket to sit between the 30 yard lines at Appalachian State.

This I did not know: if a team is placed on a post season ban because of violations of NCAA rules, players can transfer and be eligible to play immediately. See this article about a potential raid on Eastern Washington.

I just blogged about Eastern Washington's troubles last Friday.
