Illinois head coach Bret Bielema calls out tampering in college football
It is no secret that tampering is a big problem in college football today. On seemingly countless occasions, programs have reached out to players not yet in the transfer portal with the hope of convincing them to enter the portal and come to their school. One Big Ten head coach, at least, is not afraid to hold back when it comes to tampering allegations. In a recent appearance on Fox Sports's "The Triple Option" podcast, Illinois head coach Bret Bielema called out an SEC program for tampering with former Illini running back Josh McCray. "Somehow he found his way to the portal and 12 hours after being in the portal he was on a flight to Georgia," Bielema said of McCray. "I don't know how that happened but it's crazy." Sure enough, less than a week after entering the portal, McCray committed to the Bulldogs. Fair or not, tampering in college football tends to benefit big-name programs like Georgia while hurting smaller ones such as Illinois. Fortunately for USC, the Trojans are one of the "haves" when it comes to college football, and stand more likely to benefit from tampering than be hurt by it.

What is a jury supposed to make of the Diddy trial?
The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs was a sprawling odyssey into the perverse desires of the rich and famous, six weeks of learning more than any of us wanted to know about baby oil, escort payments and the not-insubstantial administrative skills required to arrange an orgy. Much of it felt like a testament to the fact that literally nothing is less sexy than sex — at least, not once when you turn on the black light and examine the mess it left behind. The general manager of L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, a luxury hotel, got on the stand and read from internal notes specifying that Combs's room, after one stay, should be placed 'out of order' for a 'deep cleaning.' Another hotel worker testified that Combs was fined $1,000 for 'oil damage.' Great Gatsby's parties, these were not. Combs's freak-offs left behind pain, disgust and charges on racketeering and sex trafficking to be adjudicated in a court of law.
