Details of Doug Martin's deal

The details are out and Doug will get about $5.5 million guaranteed and a $3.3 million signing deal. The deal is actually only written for 4 years instead of 5 years. There could be a team option for a 5th year that isn't specified.

Kurt Felix leads decathlon after first day at the NCAA Championship

The Boise State senior has 4,187 points after 100 meters, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400 meters. The second and third place contestants have 4,177 and 4,065 points respectively. Today they will compete in the 5 remaining events: the 110 meter hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1,500 meter race.

The Big East is interested in the Poinsettia Bowl
