It's a sad, vicious cycle. Unfortunately, he is a product of his upbringing. Not to downplay what he did, it's disgusting, but this is undoubtedly caused by what was done to him by his father. It's sick on every level and another reason why Jerry was and is a sick **** that deserves to be thrown to the wolves in prison.

This is one way to solve the issue of kids committing to schools "for the time being" and then hoping for other offers.

Multiple reports that Oklahoma's Bob Stoops is retiring.

[Hoosierfan2017]

That's unexpected. I wonder if there was anything going on behind the scenes. He's only 56. 

[Dalton26]

Apparently he will still be employed at OU under a different title.

Statement from Bob Stoops

Wow, that's shocking. I truly hope it's not over his health. This just seems like odd, Bo Ryan like timing though. I'm sure if there's another reason for him stepping down it won't take long before it's out there.

More than likely preventative health related. 18 years is a lot at a pressure cooker job. And trust me, Sooner nation is as nuts as they come. A good portion of the fan base will sleep just fine tonight.

What a weird group of fake offers.

[Hoosierfan2017]

I don't think schools themselves should pay players, but I have a big problem with situations like this.

Illinois is postponing their stadium renovation, and is instead going to build a separate football facility nearby. They're cutting about $70 million off of the original project budget:

According to the statements made by Ole Miss, the phone calls went all the way back to when he was shortly hired in 2012. I know coach Allen is good friends with Freeze and worked at Ole Miss from 2012-2014; which begs the question, did he see the writing on the wall?
