(USA Today Sports Images)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).

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.

(USA Today Sports Images)Mostly, we think of Alabama's Nick Saban as a football coaching robot. And he plays it up many times.

There are always those weird attempts by certain media outlets to portray him as a normal happy-go-lucky guy, and Saban awkwardly grits his teeth and gets through it. Then he'll answer another question about how he refuses to take any days off or sit through another feature on how he didn't smile through the Gatorade bath at the title game, and move on.

He's not a secretly joyous practical joker. He's a focused, intense individual. That's how he presents himself in just about every setting. It works for him and his profession. But, this week we are seeing a bit of his human side.

Florida assistant Tim Davis referred to Saban, who he worked under for three years, as "the devil himself." And even though Saban never likes to show emotions, having a former assistant say that clearly hurt him.

"It's just disappointing," Saban said, according to The Sports Xchange. "If somebody has a problem with me, I'd appreciate it if they'd tell me. If I'm doing something to offense somebody, I'd certainly like to do whatever I have to do to fix it. It's not our intention. It's not what we try to do. We're in a tough business. It's very competitive. Sometimes you've got to demand that people do things that maybe they don't want to do, but it's not personal."

Saban appeared on the

(USA Today Sports Images)Since finishing one of the greatest college football careers of the past couple decades, Vince Young has been a bit of a lightning rod.

He started his NFL career in a promising way, winning the NFL offensive rookie of the year award. And it never really got much better after that. Due to some admitted immaturity, Young clashed with Titans coach Jeff Fisher, and his departure from the Titans was messy. His most memorable moment during his season in Philadelphia was a regrettable "dream team" comment, and he was cut by Buffalo before last season started. He's still trying to make a comeback but hasn't gotten a team to give him a chance yet.

But whatever has happened with Vince Young since he left Texas, he's providing a good example for all college football players. One day before his 30th birthday, Young will walk across the stage and graduate from the University of Texas.

Young had a heck of a football career at Texas, including a starring role in one of the sport's all-time great games, the national title win against USC. But he told

We shouldn't be all that surprised when an elite athlete performs a feat in another sport that most people aren't capable of.

Still, seeing Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel hit a batting practice home run before a Padres game at Petco Park (which, by the way, has the reputation of being the toughest park in the big leagues to hit home runs) is pretty remarkable.

Johnny Football might just be Johnny Everything.

Here's the video of Manziel's home run, from the Twitter feed of his quarterbacks coach George Whitfield Jr.:

BEFORE THEY WERE FAMOUS: ACTORS WHO PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL

No. 2 – Ed O’Neill

If you ever watched the television hit “Married… With Children,” you might recall main character Al Bundy recounting his exploits as a star high school football player at Polk High.

You know, all-city, four touchdowns in one game.

Well, the man who played Bundy, Ed O’Neill, wasn’t fibbing about his football career, which extended far beyond high school to a brief stint in the NFL.

O'Neill earned a scholarship to Ohio University, played there a couple years before transferring back to his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio and to Youngstown State. He was a defensive lineman for the Penguins in 1967 and 1968 and was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969.

But like Bundy, O'Neill’s football fame was fleeting. The Steelers cut him in training camp and he wasn’t signed by another team.

Eastern Michigan coach Ron English needs $60,000 to renovate the bathrooms in his team’s locker room, and he’s willing to fall out of a plane with you to get it.

Eastern Michigan has started a campaign called “#TimetoFly” to help renovate player’s and coaches’ locker rooms and bathrooms, player’s lounge, equipment room, weight room and team building and training room.

While Eastern Michigan is offering a host of football-related opportunities for people who make donations, including listening to a pregame speech and running out of the tunnel with the team, jumping out of a plane with English appears to be the most lucrative.

(USA Today Sports Images)The Big Ten is perceived as the old curmudgeon on the college football block by many, and in some ways perception is important.

The Big Ten is looked at as a run-first league without much "SEC speed." When Joe Tiller came with his spread/bubble screen heavy offense to Purdue many years ago, some viewed it like they would if a spaceship landed in their front yard. Rich Rodriguez tried bringing his own spread offense to Michigan, and he was pretty quickly run out of town when it didn't work. Not one Big Ten quarterback was among the FBS' top 27 in passing yards last year. On the other hand, three players had more than 350 rushing attempts in FBS last year, and two were from the Big Ten.

The uniforms remain mostly unchanged. For most teams, a game from 1992 doesn't look much different than a game from 2012 (you can add a joke about Big Ten offenses here). And there's something good about that, but there's a downside too. Tradition might be the name of the game in the Big Ten, but there's a reason Oregon attracts a lot of recruits. Even the entire Legends and Leaders division name debacle was mocked mostly because it seemed like it would fit better in the 1950s. Other conferences are Les and Nick, this one is still Bo and Woody. Tradition is great, but it doesn't always resonate with high-school recruits or students who come out to games.

At least one Big Ten athletic director seems to realize that the conference might need to spice things up a bit to get away from that reputation of being stodgy.
