Fredericks will have to sit out the 2017 season because he is transferring to an FBS school. UMass is one of four such schools not affiliated with a conference. The Inwood, N.Y. native led Syracuse in rushing as a true freshman in 2015 with 607 yards (5.7-yard average) before falling to third on the depth chart this past season under new coach Dino Babers. In 10 games this year, he carried the ball 28 times for 148 yards. He arrived at Syracuse as one of its most promising recruits in 2015. Before college, Fredericks was named the 2014 Gatorade New York State Player of the Year after rushing for 2,158 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns during his senior season at Lawrence (Cedarhurst, N.Y.) High School. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Here are the other known transfer destinations for players who left the program since the end of the season: - TE Trey Dunkelberger (Western Illinois) - QB Austin Wilson (Coastal Carolina) - CB Corey Winfield (West Virginia) - DT Anthony Giudice (Lafayette)[/I] [B][MEDIA=reddit]path=%2Fr%2FCFB%2Fcomments%2F5xlrxa%2F[/MEDIA] (reddit.com)[/B] [I][B]School[/B] [B]Revenue[/B] [B]Expenses[/B] [B]Net[/B] Texas $127,465,311 $30,268,826 $97,196,485 Tennessee $107,103,765 $28,158,835 $78,944,930 Michigan $97,149,706 $36,597,583 $60,552,123 Notre Dame $98,532,894 $38,971,302 $59,561,592 Oklahoma $94,142,098 $35,854,266 $58,287,832 Louisiana State $85,741,919 $30,463,660 $55,278,259 Florida $83,761,070 $32,048,390 $51,712,680 Auburn $92,537,433 $41,896,336 $50,641,097 Ohio State $86,646,061 $37,378,146 $49,267,915 Georgia $87,613,126 $38,884,925 $48,728,201 Alabama $103,870,999 $56,214,376 $47,656,623 Texas A&M $73,700,887 $29,945,769 $43,755,118 Oregon $66,576,139 $23,768,207 $42,807,932 Wisconsin $71,220,684 $30,731,315 $40,489,369 Penn State $75,462,597 $36,163,151 $39,299,446 Nebraska $65,012,080 $27,493,962 $37,518,118 Washington $69,134,064 $31,811,117 $37,322,947 Arkansas $68,970,599 $34,237,143 $34,733,456 Michigan State $64,661,163 $31,978,126 $32,683,037 South Carolina $59,629,815 $29,970,031 $29,659,784 Oklahoma State $47,760,618 $19,445,963 $28,314,655 Mississippi $56,823,049 $29,500,677 $27,322,372 Iowa $56,551,411 $30,150,836 $26,400,575 Georgia Tech $43,605,746 $17,375,756 $26,229,990 Utah $47,685,530 $22,044,668 $25,640,862 Texas Tech $42,485,160 $18,039,499 $24,445,661 Minnesota $49,363,392 $25,542,759 $23,820,633 North Carolina State $39,539,832 $19,194,988 $20,344,844 Kansas State $38,447,972 $18,361,189 $20,086,783 USC $51,240,237 $31,186,065 $20,054,172 Stanford $43,744,639 $23,724,407 $20,020,232 Arizona $41,388,363 $21,399,664 $19,988,699 California $41,527,030 $22,079,265 $19,447,765 Colorado $37,544,684 $18,372,291 $19,172,393 Iowa State $41,789,111 $22,764,523 $19,024,588 TCU $52,009,661 $33,471,085 $18,538,576 Kentucky $39,714,834 $22,309,964 $17,404,870 Virginia Tech $48,433,646 $31,150,129 $17,283,517 Oregon State $32,941,918 $15,745,809 $17,196,109 Louisville $40,568,726 $23,428,841 $17,139,885 North Carolina $40,523,499 $23,461,114 $17,062,385 Arizona State $42,892,151 $26,601,767 $16,290,384 Kansas $30,245,133 $14,011,838 $16,233,295 Washington State $34,457,679 $18,430,943 $16,026,736 Syracuse $38,152,217 $23,219,794 $14,932,423 Illinois $32,910,979 $18,242,712 $14,668,267 Florida State $55,708,828 $42,457,103 $13,251,725 ...[/I] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][COLOR=#ff8000] [/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff8000]Other[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [IMG]http://www.simmons.edu/~/media/Simmons/Alumni/Submitted-Graduate-Class-Notes/TranquiloMatGersinsmaller.ashx?h=319&la=en&w=300[/IMG] [B][URL='http://www.syracuse.com/state/index.ssf/2017/03/shark_tank_investors_lured_by_upstate_ny_womans_baby_invention.html#incart_river_home']'Shark Tank' investors lured by Upstate NY woman's baby invention[/URL] (PS; TNS)[/B] [I]Melissa Gersin was a fussy baby who grew up to be a nurse and now an entrepreneur. Her product, Tranquilo Mat, is designed to soothe fussy babies with vibration and sounds that mimic a mother's heartbeat.

Her parents, desperate to stop her crying, took her for drives and even taped her car seat to the dryer in hopes the gentle vibration would be calming. It worked. Years later as a maternity nurse in Boston area hospitals, Gersin became a crying baby specialist, using the advice of Harvey Karp, a pediatrician and author of "The Happiest Baby on the Block." One night during a shift, she found herself calming three babies at once. She started turning the idea over in her mind, looking for a better way. Tranquilo Mat was born in a light bulb moment in 2011. Even though there are numerous tools for soothing a baby -- swings, rockers that vibrate, stuffed animals that play a heartbeat -- Gersin was shocked she didn't find a mat like the one she had in mind. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
