Spring practice is a distant memory. The season is getting closer, but it's not yet close enough to feel imminent. As much as fans want to enjoy the start of the summer, part of them wants to go ahead and skip straight to the fall.

He wanted to include some action shots from his playing career, but upon contacting a university photographer he learned he'd have to buy the images from the school's website for $10 apiece. So, he didn't include them.

NCAA trial this week, well, gosh darn it, you should be. Here are links to my recaps of day one and day two, and here is SI.com's full case content hub.

On Monday, in the first day of testimony in Ed O'Bannon v. NCAA, the nefarious-sounding noun entered the official record in a landmark federal antitrust suit, albeit in a strictly academic connotation.

It's important, no question, as is next week's long-anticipated Ed O'Bannon trial. But I'm a little puzzled by the lack of buzz right now about another, more imminent change: the inaugural College Football Playoff. Fans have only been clamoring over it for, oh, at least 16 years. Now it's almost here.

For one thing, the CFP, unlike the BCS, is an actual entity with an office building and staff members. For the first time, it has a full-fledged p.r. director. Media briefings at this week's spring meetings here have been far more organized than they were when a BCS banner still hung behind the podium.
