1. Need further evidence that the Big 12 never had an under-the-table deal with Florida State and Clemson? How ’bout a secret January memo by Big 12 interim commissioner Chuck Neinas that said only Notre Dame would help his league’s television deal. (Still waiting for the ugly commenters who said I would have to admit my mistake on this issue to come back and admit theirs. If I’d have been wrong, I’d have said so. Sadly, I’ve had to do that once or twice. Once, maybe.)

18. Sure-thing top pick Anthony Davis is ready to start living the dream. (Really, he wants to start an SEC website?)
19. South Carolina’s Frank Martin had a so-so reply to Calipari’s tweet regarding his six potential draftees. (Yesterday was “Frank Martin Day” in Columbia, by the way.)
20. Ex-Gamecock quarterback Stephen Garcia is now a Montreal Alouette.
21. NBA draft hopefuls: A trio of Commodores (who hope to avoid the overseas path taken by quite a few ex-Vanderbilt players).
