Ex-Irish QB goes to Florida State

Former Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson is transferring to Florida State, where he will have the chance to replace Jameis Winston as the Seminoles' starting quarterback.

Golson said he will spend his fifth year of eligibility with the Seminoles. Golson graduated from Notre Dame on Sunday and will be immediately eligible to play under NCAA graduate transfer rules that many college sports leaders are looking to change.

"The support I've received there [Notre Dame] over the past four years has helped strengthen my integrity, wisdom and character," Golson told Fox Sports.

He picked Florida State after also visiting Florida and Georgia last week.

"I would like to thank all of the coaches who spent time speaking with me these past few weeks and considered adding me to their football programs," Golson said.

Irish paying Weis more than Kelly

… Charlie Weis remained the highest paid coach on Notre Dame's payroll despite being fired by the university following the 2009 season, earning nearly twice as much as Brian Kelly, the man who replaced him.

Kelly was paid a base salary of $995,244 and his total pay from the university was $1.18 million. That's up $297,104 from his base pay a year earlier, although his overall pay was down from $1.46 million the season before. That's in part because he earned $607,200 in bonus and incentive pay during fiscal 2012 while leading the Irish to a berth in the national championship game and just $7,200 in 2013, when the Irish finished 9-4.

There's no shortage of challengers looking to upend American Pharoah in the Belmont Stakes and spoil his chance to win the Triple Crown. Two more horses have been added to the mix, raising to 10 the number of rivals the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner could face in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont on June 6.

War Story and Conquest Curlinate are the most recent additions, and a few more 3-year-olds could join in the coming days.

Tale of Verve, a surprise runner-up in the Preakness, will try again, and a bunch of Derby also-rans are expected back after skipping the Preakness: Frosted (fourth in the Derby), Materiality (sixth), Keen Ice (seventh), Mubtaahij (eighth), Carpe Diem (10th), Frammento (11th) and War Story (16th). Also probable is Peter Pan Stakes winner Madefromlucky. Conquest Curlinate was second in the Peter Pan.

The law firm investigating player complaints about the Illinois football team has now been asked to look into similar claims involving the women's basketball team, school officials said Tuesday. They say one basketball player's family has threatened legal action.

The parents of Jacqui Grant said she was pressured to play through mononucleosis and that a later exam revealed she had an enlarged spleen. Taylor Gleason's family said she was "forced to play" with a broken toe.
