A college football news roundup that includes an excellent idea to spruce up spring games and a Notre Dame player coming back for his senior season for an honest reason.

My colleague Kurt (our #FashionInsider here at Campus Insiders headquarters) has to take the train from a northern suburb into work each day to our office in the West Loop of Chicago. He despises METRA, and usually has a good anecdote when he arrives all huffy and puffy because the air was too hot on the train or someone sneezed on him. It is definitely the highlight of most of my days between 8:30 a.m. and 8:40 a.m.

In college football news, Brady Hoke feels fortunate to be coaching at Tennessee, the aforementioned Kurt has put together a bracket-style contest to decide the best uniforms in college sports starting with football, and we detail the best returning wide receivers in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC. Here are some other newsworthy notes in the latest college football news roundup.

INTERESTING!!! – What if I told you that there was a way to get a marquee matchup between old rivals … in April? That is exactly what CBS Sports writer Ben Kercheval is suggesting.

“Turn spring games into major scrimmage events: Of all the spring practice suggestions floating around, this is the one that has been featured most often,” Kercheval wrote. “The concept is simple: Instead of the garden variety spring game, two bigger-name programs will scrimmage against one another. And unlike normal, regular-season scheduling, this doesn’t need to be done years in advance. Michigan traveling to Georgia? You’ll take that, right? Harbaugh will; it’s another opportunity to have a presence in SEC country. Put it on a major media rights carrier for the sport *wink wink* and treat it like a preseason game. The scrimmage doesn’t have to be a national trip, either. Texas and Texas A&M don’t play anymore, but maybe they’d consider a not-so-friendly game of backyard ball in April. Do fun halftime shows, have a skills competition. Just make it more entertaining.”

I’m sold.

Being Honest With Yourself – A lot of players leave college a year early and find that it was a mistake. That wasn’t going to happen to Notre Dame left tackle Mike McGlinchey.

“I’m not going into the NFL to be a (first-round pick) on paper,” McGlinchey said. “I want to be the best that I can be when I get there. I’m setting myself up for a career there, and going in early or going in when you know that you have so many areas that you can improve in and become the best that you can be, and best, hopefully, in the country at what you do, that’s kind of the motivation why I came back individually. Obviously everyone has areas of improvement. …I wasn’t in any position to go to the NFL.”

Former Wolverine In Trouble – Former Michigan cornerback Jourdan Lewis is gearing up for the NFL Draft, but some trouble is brewing for him beforehand.

Police were called from an apartment that Lewis and a woman were at on Wednesday at 1 a.m. with the woman saying she had been assaulted. Lewis was not arrested.

“There were no visible apparent signs of injury, but she is claiming that assault occurred,” Ann Arbor Det. Lt. Matthew Lige. “Assault can occur without apparent injury. It wasn’t clear if an assault had occurred, so officers released him at the scene.”
