New Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady was a guest on the Howard Stern show and said he has zero resentment towards his former head coach Bill Belichick.

Louisiana Tech athletics director Tommy McClelland says the school will cover the cost of funding for the additional scholarships in baseball and softball next year, because of the NCAA decision that grants an extra year of eligibility to all spring sports athletes. But track, golf, and tennis senior athletes will not automatically get scholarships if they return. McClelland calls it a tough decision. He says seniors from tennis, golf and track and field can return, but the coaches will have to decide how to fit them in their normal scholarship limits or they can compete as a walk-on.

Alabama Coach Nick Saban says he finally has his own email address. Saban said he had to create his own email because his wife Terry was tired of getting all of his emails.
