So the football coaches poll will dip a toe into transparency by revealing how they voted in their final votes. Why do I have a feeling they will find that even too hot and try to pull away after next season.

Former Tennessee QB Brent Schaeffer is starting his round of visits to schools he might transfer. First up, Clemson.

Chandra Schaeffer said her son will visit at least Clemson and Texas A&M. He will not visit South Florida because he saw the university out of high school. Schaeffer also sent release forms to Central Florida, Miami, Maryland, Pittsburgh and Miami (Ohio).

Schaeffer is permitted to make five official visits, as if he was a high school recruit again. He recently spoke with Clemson coach Tommy Bowden, and his mother said Brent wants to remain a quarterback.

Since there has been no word about what Flacco is doing, I imagine Pitt has to be working hard to get him to visit.

Since drug testing athletes is all the rage these days, the Big East might start doing more. It is, however, trying to let the NCAA lead on the issue.
