Sounds like Parker will handle the Sun Belt Commissioner's search. Outgoing Commish Benson expects official approval of the new bowl game in Myrtle Beach, SC within the next 30-60 days. Points to a College GameDay-type pregame show for the league's FB title game on December 1. Benson also says he'll keep busy in retirement, though it won't be of the 75-hour work week variety like he's used to, "I'm going to be selective and pick and choose something that is meaningful, whether it's in college sports or something else. I'll be 67 this December, so health is good, new marriage and all that. It seems like it was the right time [to step aside]." (link)

Former Boise State/San Jose State AD Bleymaier sits for a podcast. Reflecting on his time in the chair, "Well, it's definitely a transition, you know, there's a lot of things that you miss about it, but there's also a lot of things that I don't miss about that work. And so it's a transition period." On the blue turf decision, "Well, I prepared myself. I knew that people would think it was crazy and there would be a lot of critics out there. And so I braced myself for that. I do have to say that I was nervous about the color of blue that it was going to be because AstroTurf had never done this before so they could not show me an exact sample of what it was going to look like. They said that it's going to look like this blue. But since we've never done quantities like this, we're not positive what the shade of blue was. And so I went to the paint store and started looking at colors of blue and that's when I got nervous because I realized that there's about 200 shades of blue out there and about a hundred seventy five of them aren't real attractive. So I was nervous. As it came to the time that they were going to install the turf, I remember being out there - it was early July, it was about a hundred five degrees one afternoon. Nobody was around, the stadium was completely empty. ... And I went up into the stands and sat there and said some prayers hoping that that first roll of turf was going to look okay, and when they rolled out the first five yards strip of Turf I took a huge sigh of relief and said, 'I think this is going to be okay.'" Lots more. (link)

Part of the NCAA punishments for Alabama A&M's violations involving the certification of student-athletes from the 2011-12 through 2015-16 school years involve scholarship reductions and a 2018-19 postseason ban for FB, MBB, Baseball and Men's Golf. Recruiting penalties also handed out to WBB and Volleyball. Overall, 101 student-athletes across 14 sports. (link); AD Hicks: "We had a lot of transition with staff since 2009. There were individuals who were hired and didn't have the necessary NCAA experience, but who had institutional knowledge and other responsibilities. What we ended up having to do is refresh and hire those seasoned professionals who specifically dealt with compliance and academics." (link)
