Pac-12 Breakfast Link: 06.09.2011

*EA Sports’ release of its NCAA Football team’s rating is almost becoming as important as Blue Ribbon or Phil Steele.  Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy [The Daily Drip]

*The evidence against Ohio State is sure piling up. If their punishment by the NCAA isn't heavier than the recent sanctions handed to USC, then the system will continue to be a running joke. Checks? Come on, Pryor, that's Busch League. [Yahoo] 

*Tom Dienhart poses an interesting question “Do Cal official want to christen a re-done stadium with a new coach in 2012?”  If Tedford cant right the ship, seems like an intriguing possibility. [Belling Hamherald]

* Members of the Oregon’s Alumni Association were “generously” offered tickets to the LSU game at Cowboys Stadium for the not-so low price of $105 per ticket. Jerry-Town doesn't maintain itself I guess.  [Register Guard]

*An aging writer compares the BYU-Utah rivalry to himself, saying that the Holy War will slowly lose its meaning.  Sounds like there might be a new job open at his paper. [Desert News] 

*The campuses of Arizona State, Stanford, and UCLA better be prepared for a stampeded.  Colorado likes to plan parties on the road, so watch out for the roaming Buffaloes.  [Daily Camera]

*What if college football's conferences hit the shuffle button? SB Nation embarks on an interesting project doing just that. [House of Sparky]

Pac-12 Football Daily Breakfast Links: 06.08.2011

Today, let’s take the Breakfast links out of the Pacific Time Zone and see what the rest of the college football nation is rumbling about.

*Could kickoffs be a thing we tell our children about how football games used to start?  After watching that horrific play that the paralyzed Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand, coach Greg Schiano sure hopes so.  Here is his interesting suggestion on replacing the kickoff play.  [SI.com]

*Much to the dismay of the NCAA, Colt McCoy’s wife gives a convincing description about the temptations presented to college football players in Texas. I think the NCAA is seriously underestimating the  term "Free" in regards to college students. [Campus Corner]

*Terrelle Pryor calls it quits.  Good luck Ohio State.  The year is only going to continue to get rougher. [Waiting for Next Year] 

*Ya, players are breaking the rules. It’s not a surprise anymore.  But then again, it's not like the NCAA has been perfect either.  Those who live in glass houses…blah, blah, blah.  Give me liberty or give me a better system! [Washington Examiner]

*Ok, I couldn’t resist…back to the Pac-12 to wrap it up.  USC’s Marc Tyler is most likely going to get suspended for a few games this season for off the field troubles.  Hmm….I thought the Trojans were moving forward. [ESPN]
