The Eastern Michigan Eagles need new bathrooms, and coach Ron English is ready to jump out of a plane to get them.

Former Oklahoma State quarterback Wes Lunt is not being released to transfer to Southern Miss, Tennessee or Vanderbilt, according to several people briefed on the decision.

When quarterback Wes Lunt announced he was going to transfer from Oklahoma State, both he and the school went out of their way to handle it in the classiest way possible. Lunt thanked Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy thanked Lunt. Lunt was a highly touted recruit and was a starter to begin the 2012 season as a true freshman, but he dealt with injuries and it was time to move on. Oklahoma State had a logjam at quarterback after the spring. Everyone seemed on board with him moving on and doing what was best for his future. That makes Oklahoma State's subsequent significant transfer restrictions on Lunt so odd, and infuriating as well. According to the Tulsa World, Lunt will not be allowed by Oklahoma State to transfer to a school in the Big 12, SEC or to Southern Mississippi (whose new coach, Todd Monken, was previously Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator). OSU confirming my tweet from two days ago that Lunt is being blocked from transferring to certain destinations -- Southern Miss, SEC, Big 12 — Jimmie Tramel (@JimmieTramel) May 17, 2013 A similar report from CBSSports.com lists just SEC and Southern Mississippi on the restricted list. Derek Leonard, Lunt's high school coach, told Channel1450.com in Springfield, Ill. that the Big 12, SEC, Southern Mississippi and Eastern Michigan were on the list. None of it makes sense. Let's revisit those quotes from the transfer announcement. "We appreciate Wes and we thank him for everything he has done," Gundy said. "He's leaving on good terms and is making this decision based on what he thinks is best for his future." "This was not a decision I took lightly, but it is a decision that I felt was right for me," Lunt said. "I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the entire Oklahoma State University community. Specifically, I would like to thank the coaches, players, and the whole OSU football family. I wish the Cowboys the best of luck in the future." There are many things about college football that benefit the school and not the athletes that the NCAA laughably spends so much time saying it looks out for. In fact, almost everything is in place to benefit the schools. It's a one-sided relationship. Blanket transfer restrictions like this are one of the more outrageous slights against young men who want to switch schools for whatever reason. Lunt wanted to change schools because, presumably, he feels he has a bright college future ahead of him but was not going to start at Oklahoma State. That happens. It happened to Joe Flacco at Pitt. He went to Delaware and did pretty well for himself. One would presume when Gundy was flirting with Tennessee about its opening this offseason that he had legitimate reasons, whether it be for his family or career, for looking into a change. Nobody blocked him from talking to any school, even while under contract. That's fair. Well, fair for those few in college athletics who are making millions. Not fair, apparently, for the unpaid labor of college football. Unless there's more to the story – and go back and look at the quotes, it would make no sense for Gundy to lie in public comments he didn't need to make, say "he's leaving on good terms" and hurt his credibility – there's no reason to be so restrictive for Lunt. He's a young man who could have a bright and lucrative future. Gundy is making it harder for Lunt to seek out the type of college football career that he wants, and get the college education at the institution he desires. It's an unnecessary power trip that could have a significant negative impact on a 19-year-old's life. This is college athletics at its most ridiculous, petty and hypocritical. It needs to be changed. - - - Want to join the conversation?

This offseason we will count down various topics from Monday through Friday, bringing you the top five of the important and definitely some not so important issues in college football. It's the Doc Five, every week until we will thankfully have actual games to discuss. BEFORE THEY WERE FAMOUS: ACTORS WHO PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL NO. 1, JOHN WAYNE, USC Nobody embodied manliness for most of the 20th century more than John Wayne. IMDB counts 180 movies and shows for Wayne, and in most of them he plays the role of a tough guy, usually in Western films. And of course, the ultimate man's man played college football. Before John Wayne was a movie legend, he was just Marion Morrison, a USC offensive tackle. His football career came to a sudden end, but after that Morrison set off on a movie career and became famous under his screen name. Movie fans will forever be grateful. Wayne graduated high school in 1925 and came to USC on a football scholarship. Wayne is generally listed as being 6-foot-4, and he had the physical presence to be a college football player. His football scholarship covered the $280 a year tuition (!!!) and one meal a day, according to a feature on Wayne on USC's website. He and a few other football teammates started working part time at Fox Film Corp during college. He played on the freshman team at USC, then was on the varsity team as a sophomore. Legend has it that Wayne broke his collarbone while body surfing at Newport Beach before his junior year, and had his football scholarship taken away. He left USC shortly after his junior year started. "(H)e felt his football playing days were over because of his bad shoulder," Eugene C. Clarke, a USC trustee who grew up with Wayne, said according to the USC feature on Wayne. "So he did what he felt he had to do. He quit school and went to work at the studios." The entertainment world wouldn't be the same if Marion Morrison hadn't blown his football career in a surfing accident. His first few roles included some as a football extra, including a role as a USC football player in "The Drop Kick," a 1927 film. Eventually he grew to be an icon, and was the lead in more than 140 films, an unfathomable number. His biggest moment might have been when he won a Best Actor Oscar in 1969 for "True Grit." The Duke's football career probably didn't turn out as he hoped. It wasn't such a bad break, however. Previously on the "Doc Five" 5. Carl Weathers 4. Dwayne Johnson 3. Burt Reynolds 2.

Once upon a time, Heisman Pundit gave Michael Elkon a history lesson about the SEC. Your claim that Spurrier changed offenses more than Meyer did in the league is absurd. The proof is in the offensive numbers, the titles and the Heisman winners. For instance, the Heisman is only won with superb offensive numbers. That’s a truism. So, it’s no shock that the only SEC Heisman winner between 1986 and 2007 came from Florida, the only SEC school that had outstanding offensive production. Of course, since 2007, there have been three SEC Heismans, which coincides with the league’s offensive explosion (as I demonstrated by the numbers in my post). Do you think it’s all just a cosmic coincidence? 8. I grant you that Spurrier did introduce the forward pass to the SEC. But those offenses that started passing were nowhere near as innovative as Spurrier’s and they did not keep up with some of the other leagues and that is reflected in the national offensive numbers during that time… I always think of that when I see a piece on what Hal Mumme and Mike Leach did at Kentucky. In 1996, as the Bill Curry era limped to a close, a ground-hugging Kentucky offense scored a combined 27 points in its first five games. In ’97, Mumme’s first UK attack scored 28 points in the season’s first three quarters. Having inherited a team whose offense averaged 12.6 points and 217.8 yards a game, Mumme’s first fancy passing unit put up 31.6 points and 474 yards a game, broke 51 school and 15 Southeastern Conference records and featured the nation’s leading passer. Other than that, it was just like three yards and a cloud of dust. Filed under: Strategery And Mechanics
