Okay the holidays are over and we are in the middle of summer.  College football is so close right now we can taste it.  You know how we can tell?  We have a buttload of news to go over in this week’s Crib Sheet.  So enough jibba jabba, here’s the sheet:

• The Big House expansion set the new stadium attendance capacity at 109,901 for the Michigan Wolverines.  Now all they need to do is actually when games to get it filled up.
• The hottest game coming into this year has to be Texas at Nebraska.  David Ubben runs over the list of candidates for the name of this somewhat rivalry.  Our pick?  The Big Beef.  The winner? The Big Beef.
• Speaking of the one time rivalry, Nebraska removed the end part of the video they put out earlier this year for their fan video.  It said “Beat Texas.” The smack talk is already beginning and it’s not even the start of training camp yet.
• Dontavius Jackson will be transferring from Georgia after summer school following his DUI arrest.  Goes to show folks, don’t get caught breaking the law if you are a football player.  You might get your scholarship dumped.
• The two Kansas dudes who were indicted last week have plead guilty in court for the ticket scandal they covered up.  Hopefully for Jayhawk fans, this will blow over and they can start focusing on rebuilding for the football season.  Or focus on the start of basketball season.
• We’ve been trying for the last couple of days to come up with something exciting to attach to the release of EA Sport’s new NCAA College Football 11 game.  It’s out.  That’s it.  Nothing exciting here.
• Lambeau Field and the Packers want to host a potential Big 1o Championship Game.  Okay, this would be sweet.  Lambeau embodies the Big 10 better than Indianapolis by far.  The closest next match is Chicago with Soldier Field, but we think a title game in icy weather trumps all.
• Bob Krause, former Kansas State Athletic Director, described in a deposition how he got duped by Ron Prince at the last second, which then gave Prince a tasty buyout from his contract.  So Krause was out of his league big time and now we see why.
• Ex Florida Gator Maurkice Pouncey was the subject of an investigation that addressed and allegation that he took about 100K from a middle man to an agent.  If the investigation finds it to be true, Florida could lose the Sugar Bowl victory last year.  It doesn’t matter to Pouncey because he is in the NFL right now.  It seems agents have found a loophole to exploit kids in their senior year.  The kids get paid and leave before any repercussions.  Kinda like pulling a Pete Carroll.  Stewart Mandel points this out and we just found out from Nick Saban that Alabama is investigating its own issue too.
• Missouri linebacker Tyler Crane was kicked off the team for violating team rules.  Neither Crane or Missouri will say just what he did.  It seems like he was a back up so it shouldn’t affect the Tigers this year that much.
• 11 Notre Dame athletes were arrested for underage drinking at a party last week, including Joe Montana’s son Nate.  Doh!  It’s nice to see the Fighting Irish are with the times in terms of off the field troubles.  This tells us that they might be competitive this coming year.
• It seems an investigation will open in Arizona to see if current and former Fiesta Bowl employees made campaign contributions to politicians whom supported the bowl.  The major issue is not the contribution but the reimbursement from the bowl.  Ya, that’s a no no.
