The Arkansas Razorbacks wide receiver Marques Wade was arrested last Saturday night and put in the Washington County jail upon charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and for nearly hitting a police officer with his car. He was released on Sunday morning on a $880 surety bond. His blood alcohol test conducted through the breath analyzer showed more than the permissible legal level of 0.08. He was also charged for reckless and careless driving. The Arkansas management is aware of this grave situation and will definitely look into the matter after collecting all the required reports. The Arkansas fans will be flocking in large numbers at the ticket counters once the NCAA football season begins.

UCF Coach George O’Leary declined to answer questions from the Orlando Sentinel and barred his players from granting interviews with the newspaper during Conference USA media day on Sunday. This was after an argument involving the Sentinel’s coverage of Ereck Plancher’s death. The newspaper has asked UCF officials to outline the mistakes, but the school has declined to discuss the errors in detail. The tickets for all the UCF games still continue to sell out fast.

Florida Gator’s receiver Percy Harvin is reported to be recovering ahead of schedule. This will be a relief for coach Urban Meyer as Harvin is a dynamic player and his recovery will help the Gators this season. He will be joining practice starting next month. Despite the injury in his right heel for which he had surgery this April, he still had a great last season. The players believe he will do even better once he recovers. His performance will be a bonus to the Gators, and will definitely help their ticket billings.

 Indiana University quarterback Kellen Lewis was reinstated to the team on Monday after he had been sitting out with a suspension of four months.  There was no official explanation as to the nature of Lewis’s suspension, but head coach Bill Lynch said that his QB did what he needed to in order to rejoin the team.  Lewis will be going on his junior year for the Hoosiers as he had an amazing season in 2007 with 3,000 passing yards and 700 rushing yards.  He was the fifth Indiana quarterback to reach 5,000 career passing yards and the fourth player to reach 6,000 total yards.  Indiana will look to make an impact in the Big Ten when they open the season August 30th.
