<li><a href="http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/28/sun-belt-announces-it-will-officially-grow-by-four-in-2014/" target="_blank">Georgia Southern</a> is moving to the Sun Belt Conference.  That&#8217;s good news for Georgia, as it means there will be one less FCS opponent on future schedules.</li>
<li>Evidently, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2013/03/26/college-athletes-coaches-pay-cheating-ncaa-rules-survey/2023289/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+UsatodaycomCollegeSports-TopStories+%28Sports+-+College+-+Top+Stories%29" target="_blank">we think</a> college players shouldn&#8217;t be paid, but college coaches should be paid more.  Weird.</li>
<li>Speaking of paying college players, <a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/the-hater/2013/mar/27/ncaa-school-unsalaried-workers-wildly-profitable-s/" target="_blank">this</a> is some well-played snark from the <em>AJ-C</em>, of all places.</li>
<li>The media&#8217;s strange fixation with what it thinks Jadeveon Clowney ought to be doing with his football career <a href="http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/27/clowney-has-no-interest-at-all-in-getting-offensive-for-heisman-bid/" target="_blank">goes in a new direction</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.athleticscholarships.net/2013/03/27/sec-oversigning-problem.htm" target="_blank">John Infante</a> thinks a little sunshine would work wonders on SEC oversigning.  Methinks Nick Saban could care less about that.</li>
<li>March Madness usually inspires some really stupid thoughts about what college football can take from the basketball tourney, and <a href="http://cfn.scout.com/2/1278040.html" target="_blank"><em>CFN</em> delivers, in spades</a>.</li>
<li>If you&#8217;re a Vol fan living in a certain place, <a href="http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/georgia-tennessee-border-032613?src=rss" target="_blank">Charlie Pierce</a> describes how the Georgia-Tennessee water war could lead to your worst nightmare.</li>
