Penn State linebacker recruit Zayd Issah, who is facing multiple felony charges after getting caught trying to purchase McDonald’s food with counterfeit money, has temporarily lost his scholarship.

Blue and White Illustrated confirmed with Penn State that Issah met with coach Bill O’Brien over the weekend and O’Brien told Issah he was pulling his scholarship with provisions on how to get it back.

One of those provisions included Issah attending a year at a military academy before coming back to Penn State. Of course, the final decision is up to Issah and he could certainly try to transfer to another school. But with this case looming over his head, he’s going to have a tough time trying to get another school to take a chance on him.

Gunner Kiel, the former 5-star quarterback who recently transferred from Notre Dame, could find a new home at Cincinnati.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Kiel attended the Bearcats scrimmage this past weekend and a source told the paper they thought Cincinnati had a good shot at nabbing him.

This would be an interesting move for Kiel who started his recruitment committed to Indiana and then LSU before switching to Notre Dame just before national signing day. Kiel redshirted last season, but was told by the Notre Dame coaching staff that he’d have a chance to compete for the starting role this spring.

But with sophomore Everett Golson currently manning the starting role, Kiel saw the writing on the wall.

On April Fools Day, it’s important not to take things at face value.

Yes, it’s a cynical approach, but one that usually saves embarrassment and a lengthy apology later.

So, when I read a column in the Orlando Sentinel that criticized Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel for some of his offseason escapades and then asserted that the Heisman Trophy Trust should rethink giving the award to a first-year player, I had to pause.

This is a joke, right?

Columnist Matt Murschel claimed that Manziel going to NBA games and clubs with his friends, and hanging out with “scantily-clad coeds” makes him unworthy of college football’s most sacred trophy, which is just absolute nonsense.

A champion will be crowned tonight.

If Louisville and Florida lose, Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz will be the champion of the inaugural bracket challenge. If Louisville and Florida win, LSU coach Les Miles will win the bracket challenge. If Louisville wins and Florida loses, Holtz will be the winner.

In short, Miles needs a Florida win to complete his comeback and take the Dr. Saturday crown.

Miles had a chance to move to the front of Dr. Saturday’s Coaches Bracket Challenge but was, um, shocked, by Wichita State (OK, that’s the only pun, I promise).

[Watch: Does Wichita State have a chance in Final Four?]

Miles had Ohio State in play last night and was thwarted by a major upset. If Ohio State would have won, Miles would have taken the lead from Holtz and won the bracket.

Miles still has two Final Four teams remaining, more than Holtz or Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy, but both could be knocked off tonight in tough games.

Somewhere, Mike Gundy was cursing Kansas last night.

The Jayhawks had a 10-point lead against Michigan late, allowed Trey Burke to tie the game with a 3-pointer at the end of regulation and then lost by two in overtime. It was one of the most unbelievable comebacks/collapses in NCAA Tournament history.

What’s worse is that Gundy, Oklahoma State's football coach, was the only one of our three coaches that had Kansas advancing to the Elite Eight and now he has just two – two – teams remaining in the tournament.

Meanwhile LSU coach Les Miles had our first perfect day. That’s right, in the two weeks we’ve been doing this, none of our coaches have had a perfect day until Miles swept the second half of the Sweet 16 to move two points within our leader, Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz.

Dr. Saturday’s Coaches Bracket Challenge is definitely going to come down to the wire.

The first half of the Sweet 16 was a brutal, brutal day for our coaches in the inaugural Bracket Challenge. With Indiana and Miami going down, coaches lost Final Four teams, and in the case of LSU’s Les Miles and Louisiana Tech’s Skip Holtz, final teams as well.

Since each coach managed to get just one pick correct, Holtz remained in the lead followed by Miles and Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy. Despite the deficit, Miles still has the best shot of winning because three of his four Final Four teams are still intact heading into tonight’s games. However, if Louisville loses, all three coaches will lose their champion. Both Gundy and Holtz have Louisville as their lone remaining Final Four team.

This has definitely been a tough March Madness for all of our coaches. Initially, it looked like Gundy might have the inside track because he picked a couple of the underdogs, but some major upsets knocked him back pretty early.

Holtz is living off some stellar picks from the first and second rounds, but Miles is not that far behind especially if Florida and Louisville can win tonight.

We’re going to go ahead and put this in the “things we never knew” category.

This week, Dr. Saturday learned Louisiana-Lafayette has used a deejay this spring to spin tunes and mixes during practices to keep the players and coaches energized during practice.

But after talking to Louisiana-Lafayette, it appears as though this has been a staple of coach Mark Hudspeth’s tenure since 2011.
