While CFT didn’t necessarily agree, the coaches tapped LSU as their preseason No. 1 in the initial USA Today poll released earlier this month.

Roy Roundtree will miss two weeks of camp from knee surgery

McKayla Maroney Is Not Impressed With The Michigan Wolverines
CFT predicts: the Big Ten
It’s an unsettling time for a conference steeped in tradition.

Sign language: Michigan Wolverines
Every Michigan player should know Bo Schembechler’s most famous quote — “Those who stay will be champions.” In case they don’t, the words are displayed prominently above the entrance leading from Schembechler Hall into the Al Glick Field House, Michigan’s superb indoor practice facility.
Michigan players and coaches see the sign each day before their practice sessions — even those on the outdoor field — and it’s easy to see for those entering or exiting the team locker room.

Big Ten coaches say they’re keeping distance from PSU players
Most people would probably agree that the most crippling sanction levied against Penn State by NCAA president Mark Emmert was the mass reduction of scholarships over the next four years. The penalty is two-fold: a reduction of 10 initial scholarships from 2013-16 and 20 total scholarships from 2014-17 (65-player cap). It could take several years before [...]

Michigan lands verbal from ’13 Penn State commit
And so it begins.
