According to Ole Miss Defensive End and Twitter celebrity Kentrell Lockett, Jerrell Powe is not only recent fodder for Fark goodness, but is also the most accommodating of party hosts…providing more than just your run of the mill chips and dip.  This soiree, one can only assume, is the direct cause for this.  Get well soon OleForty.

Word broke late yesterday that the NCAA investigation of North Carolina has now expanded to include potential academic infractions involving up to 10 Tar Heel players, all of who were moved to the scout team this week in wake of the investigation.  The investigation centers around potential academic fraud perpetrated by a UNC tutor…a tutor that also happened to be Butch Davis’s kids’ nanny, according to Joe Schad, who is your ESPN leader in nanny related breaking news.  In wake of these findings, the NCAA has expanded its investigation an has begun questioning all nannies about their involvement in the scandal.  The following is a brief transcript of those interviews…

You understand, at this time, that this is simply an informal fact finding interview where we are trying to determine, based on the answers that each of you provides, whether a full investigation is warranted.  We will be asking all of you some questions about your relationship with Butch Davis and the North Carolina football program.  Do you understand?

Certainly dear boy.  Ask away.
