College football camps across the country are poised to begin next week as the NCAA probes the influence of rogue agents at multiple schools.
Coaches are up in arms. The likes of Nick Saban and Urban Meyer are angry, but powerless to stop the problem, writes Andy Staples at SI.com. That's the ultimate in unintentional hilarity, says Mike Celzic at MSNBC.com, who says the up-in-arms coaches are no better than the 'pimp' agents.
Meanwhile, CBS-TV reports that, regardless of schools, the NCAA investigations center on a South Beach club in Miami, and North Carolina coach Butch Davis says the investigation of his players came "out of left field."
Believe it or not, there's more than news about rogue agents in college football. Here's a look at what else is going on today in college sports:
