Why was McDonald demoted from OC to WR coach at Syracuse? You would have to ask head coach Scott Shafer. Syracuse was coming off a six-point effort against Louisville at that stage of the season, though the Orange would have hit double digits [URL='http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/10/syracuse-blows-touchdown-celebration-horn-after-horrible-dropped-pass']if a certain individual caught the dadgum football in the hotdanged scorin' zone[/URL]. Syracuse went 1-6 after McDonald's demotion. McDonald was hired by Syracuse from Arkansas prior to the 2013 season.

He was brought on board by Shafer as offensive coordinator and associate head coach, so yeah. Nobody in that situation's going to take a demotion well. "If I would've known I was only going to get 18 games to be offensive coordinator, I would've stayed at the University of Arkansas," McDonald said on Tuesday night. "I would've never came here."

The NCAA granted a waiver Tuesday that allows the College Football Playoff to provide a reimbursement of up to $1,250 per parent or guardian that will cover hotel accommodations, travel and meals. "This will really help because parents really want to go out and see their kids play," said Ohio State safety Von Bell, who is from Rossville, Georgia. "They make a lot of sacrifices and there's a lot of money spent. Traveling from the South, because they come up here for every game, is a lot. The gas and everything. It's really a blessing to hear that." Ohio State played last week at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans in the first College Football Playoff semifinals. Oregon played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The NCAA also announced it will provide a similar reimbursement to the families of athletes who compete in the men's and women's basketball Final Fours as part of a pilot program. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
