Teams all over the country prepare to open their summer camp in anticipation of opening day over the Labor Day Holiday Weekend. In order to ensure a profitable return on all of your wagering activity during the season, now is the perfect time to finalize your betting strategy heading into Sept.1.

An important part of this strategy is to make sure you are up to speed with any new developments involving the top contenders in the country. Sometimes it is the simplest things that could end-up having a major impact on a particular team’s odds to win their conference as well as a possible BCS national title.

To help you along, the following is a look at this week’s most interesting news and notes from the world of college football.

Rob BoldenPenn State quarterback interested in LSU

Part of the heavy sanctions that the NCAA handed down last week against Penn State for its improper handling of the JerrySandusky child sex abuse scandal included allowing any current player to transfer to another program without having to sit out a season. While many current Penn State players have professed their solidarity, stating they are committed to sticking with the beleaguered program, junior quarterback Rob Bolden may have other plans for the rest of his college football career.

Reports indicate that this past weekend he made a visit to LSU’s campus and, while nothing has been confirmed, an unnamed Penn State spokesman told the Patriot-News of Harrisburg that Bolden was no longer with the team. It had also been reported that Lions’ head coach Bill O’Brian had already released him from his scholarship commitment before last week’s sanctions had even been revealed. Bolden had actually sought to transfer after the 2010 season, but then coach Joe Paterno refused to grant him a release.

Bolden threw for 2,045 yards with seven touchdowns and 14 interceptions in his first two years with the Lions, but gained most of his notoriety as the first true freshman to open a season as starting quarterback in the past 100 years at Penn State.

Iowa running back suspended after his second run-in with the law

Iowa running back De’Andre Johnson has officially been suspended from the Hawkeyes’ football team until further notice after his involvement in two incidents that required police intervention in a span of three days. First, the sophomore was cited for a disorderly house in the wake of noise complaints from a party and then, two days later, he was cited for driving a motorcycle 60 mph in a 25 mph-zone.

Johnson only carried the ball 18 times last season for 79 yards as a freshman, but was expected to play a much bigger role in Iowa’s rushing attack this season. Hawkeyes’ head coach Kirk Ferentz did not give any indication of how long Johnson would be suspended from the team.

Former Auburn ‘Offensive MVP’ done at Arkansas State

Michael Dyer’s future looked extremely bright when the running back won Offensive MVP honors in Auburn’s victory over Oregon in the 2011 BCS Championship Game, but a downward spiral since that point now has him out of college football altogether.

Dyer decided to transfer to Arkansas State this past January after Auburn head coach Gene Chizik suspended him indefinitely for violating unspecified team rules before last season’s Chick-fil-A Bowl. This past week he was dismissed from the Red Wolves squad by coach Gus Malzahn for once again violating team rules.

Dyer became the Tigers first back to rush for over 1000 yards in his first two seasons and broke Bo Jackson’s freshman record of 892 rushing yards with 1,093 yards in his first year with the team. Last season, he tallied 1,242 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns for Auburn.
