Big East position rankings: LB

We continue with our final 2011 position rankings by moving to linebacker. There were plenty of exemplary individual performances in this group, as six teams were represented on the Big East first and second teams. But this evaluation is of the unit as a whole, so I am factoring in the performance of every starter, along with depth and stats. 1. Rutgers. Khaseem Greene's move to linebacker was the smartest position change of the year, pushing the Scarlet Knights into the top spot in this category.

DALLAS -- Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas will leave his post by July 1, he told ESPN.com on Wednesday at the college football commissioners' meetings. "I’ve agreed to remain on until the end of June," Neinas said, "so I’m fully confident they’ll have a new commissioner to be on board the first of July, and probably earlier." He'll help find his replacement, too. Neinas helped numerous Big 12 programs hire coaches in various sports with his search firm, Neinas Sports Services.

Morning take: Will Welker get tagged?

Here are the most interesting stories Monday morning in the AFC East: Teams can use the franchise tag as early as Monday. Will New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker get tagged? Morning take: There is a very good chance it will happen. The Patriots are too smart to let Welker walk. But the tag also will buy time for both sides to continue to negotiate this offseason. New Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Sherman thinks Ryan Tannehill is a winner.
