[FONT=&quot]Alabama Football Tops Athlon Sports Preseason All-America Team - ROLLTIDE.COM - University of Alabama Official Athletic Site/rbr[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A day after naming 14 Alabama players to its preseason All-SEC team, highly-regarded college football publication Athlon Sports placed eight Crimson Tide players on its preseason All-America teams. The Tide’s eight selections leads the nation along with the eight chosen from Clemson, the team Alabama defeated in the 2016 College Football Playoff Championship Game. Alabama’s four first team selections – sophomore wide receiver Calvin Ridley, junior offensive tackleCam Robinson, senior defensive lineman Jonathan Allen and junior punter JK Scott – is the most among all programs. Seniors Reuben Foster (linebacker) andEddie Jackson (safety) were named to the second team while junior tight endO.J. Howard and senior linebacker Tim Williams were named to the fourth team.[/FONT]
rbr op[FONT=&quot]Tim Williams is being grossly underlooked here at OLB. And, once again, Minkah Fitzpatrick is getting zero love from the national rags. Surprising to not see Marlon Humphrey get at least a little nod. He was lights-out down the stretch last season, and I suspect he, along with Harrison, Sixpatrick and Jackson, will all earn postseason awards of some stripe.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mailbag: Could the Big 12 just kick Baylor out? | FOX Sports/rbr[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As for the Big 12, commissioner Bob Bowlsby has maintained that the conference will be hands-off as to any Baylor institutional decisions. "We're here to manage athletics contests," he said last month. "That's as far as our involvement should go." The only time in recent history a power conference kicked out a member was the Big East with Temple in the early 2000s, but there was no scandal there, rather prolonged on-field and academic ineptitude coupled with poor support. Along those lines, any decision as severe as kicking Baylor out would likely only result from years of mismanagement going forward.[/FONT]
rbr op[FONT=&quot]Looks like Stewie spoke too soon. Not only is the B12 not taking this in their accustomed "just bring us cash, baby" manner, but the conference has demanded a complete, unredacted version of the Baylor report drafted by Pepper Hamilton. If the B12 is actively looking into Title IX complaints as a breach of fiduciary duty and possible NCAA / conference violations, you can bet money that the Committee on Infractions is as well.[/FONT]
