The beating heat of the summer is getting to us.  We’re producing an inordinate amount of swass underneath while compiling this week’s very beefy Crib Sheet.  We’re going for some lemonade and to air our sweat regions.  Here’s the Crib Sheet:

• It’s official, via text message, that Bryce Brown will not be coming back to Tennessee.  Will he land at Kansas State?  The way Daniel Thomas is looking might draw the Wichita, Kansas native back home to the Wildcats.  Tennessee will not release him from his scholarship so that will slow him down.
• Big 12 Media Days for Kansas was all about Turner Gill.  He landed a great hire at offensive coordinator and Chuck Long.  It’s a rebuilding year and they are trying to stay focused on the field and not with all the crap that happened off of it.
• Colorado’s Big 12 media day was not as exciting as leat year’s.  Oh, they’re stoked this year but we got the sense that they are distracted about moving to the Pac 10.  One thing is for sure, if Cody Hawkins starts for the Buffaloes, they will lose every time.
• Oklahoma, on the other hand, spent the day talking about the huge expectations they have.  Yes, they had a ton of injuries last year.  That means that the younger kids have more experience and more time with each other.  They should be tough, but we’re not sold yet on national title tough.
• Texas A&M’s media day was unheard of.  You’d think the cash they got in the expansion deal means that they command more respect at the podium but apparently not.
• BCS director Bill Hancock had alot to say in the last week.  First off the Big 12 change won’t affect the BCS. A playoff would kill the regular season.    Any playoff would have to start at 16 teams.  And if the appeal from USC over recruiting violations fell through, the title they won would be left vacant.  Man, that’s alot from a guy who’s been nonexistent ever since he took over.
• Texas Big 12 media days was alot like just hanging out.  Coach Mack Brown handled the alignment talk well and also took care of the Nebraska contigent in a subdued kind of way.
• The assistant coach who took a punch from head coach Mike Locksley sued both him and New Mexico for the fight.  We’re thinking he lost the actual fight and is now taking it to the courts.
• So assistant coach Mark Nelson of East Carolina resigned because of NCAA allegations that he evaluated players in off-season workout and conditioning drills.  Huh?  Coaches evaluate all the time.  That’s what they do.  The NCAA is beginning to be irrelevant and completely out of touch.
• Oklahoma running back Mossis Madu got a DUI.  He’ll probably be benched for the half of the first game.
• ESPN is going 3d!  They will broadcast a couple of college football games in the new tech as well.  Check out the list here.
• IMG bought ISP Sports and now is the mega daddy of all agencies that license pro and college sports media to outlets.  These guys will have some major pull when it comes to bringing in more bucks from the supposed holy grail of television deals for college athletics.
• Junior defensive lineman Jamie Blatnick of Oklahoma State was arrested last Saturday after getting in a fight with a former Cowboys offensive lineman Stephen Denning.  Looks like the defensive guy couldn’t take the lip from the offensive guy.
• Former Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli is walking on to Ole Miss in the hopes of still playing football.  He was booted off the Ducks for burglary and weed smoking.  We all believe in second chances right?  This second chance will have a short leash.
• The Big 10 media days are a happening as we speak and commissioner Jim Delany is looking for a title game next year.  Meanwhile Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne is yapping his lip about the stability of the Big 10 being the major factor for the move.
• Iowa State defender David Simms plead guilty to credit card fraud that he originally denied.  It looks like his career might be over up there.
• Bill Snyder 2.0 goes old school with his scheduling philosophy for the Kansas State Wildcats.  They had Oregon on the schedule, but now they  are off.  The excuse was the new 9 team schedule for the conference coming up.  It was also mutual.  So will Miami be next off the list?
