Purdue calls leaked playbook allegation against ex-Memphis player 'mischaracterized'
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — The Purdue Boilermakers believe the alleged leaking of a playbook from defensive back Tahj Ra-El, a former Memphis player, to UTSA quarterback Owen McCown has been 'mischaracterized.' HT Image Ra-El left Memphis in the middle of last season and has since transferred to Purdue where coach Barry Odom is in his first season. 'Our coaching staff sees this scenario as being mischaracterized and does not have any concerns moving forward,' the athletic department said in a statement given to The Associated Press on Friday. The controversy erupted last week when On3 published screenshots of an alleged conversation between the former high school teammates from Charlotte, North Carolina. 'Far left is coverages. i'll send you better list showing you the call,' the screenshot showed Ra-El wrote. 'But they run qtrs none of they safeties can cover btw (sic).' Ra-El also reportedly told McCown that starting safety Kourtlan Marsh had an injured hamstring. Marsh didn't play in the game, which UTSA won 44-36 after scoring 30 consecutive points to erase a 24-14 halftime deficit. During the American Conference media days, UTSA coach Jeff Traylor said the information had 'no bearing whatsoever' on the outcome of that game even though he said he had not heard about the allegations until last week. 'The stuff he sent him didn't make any sense, so he didn't tell me,' Traylor said. 'He was just being nice to his buddy. It got blown out of context in my opinion.' McCown threw for 3,424 yards and 25 touchdowns with 10 interceptions in 13 games last season, his first as the Roadrunners starter. They finished 7-6 and beat Coastal Carolina in the Myrtle Beach Bowl. Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield reportedly said he and Traylor were seated across from each other during a media day event and they decided it was best to move on from the controversy. ___ AP college football:

Coastal Carolina football fans will be able to eat for free at games in 2025
The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will put fans in the forefront during football games starting in the 2025 season. Coastal Carolina Athletics announced Monday it had partnered with Aramark to allow fans to eat for free inside Brooks Stadium during Chanticleers football games. The team's first home game of the season will come against Charleston Southern on Sept. 6. "Our fans are the heartbeat of Teal Nation, and we're always looking for ways to elevate their game day experience," Intercollegiate Athletics and University Recreation Vice President Chance Miller said in a news release. "With the CCU Kickoff Meal Deal, we're excited to offer free concessions this fall as a way to say thank you for the energy, passion and support they bring to Brooks Stadium every game." Patrons will need to have the upcoming Coastal Carolina Athletics app to be able to participate. Fans will be able to acquire up to four concession stand items per visit. Hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and fountain drinks will be on the menu with no limit to the number of visits one can make. The school said specialty items, food from outside vendors and alcoholic drinks will still cost money. "Every fan, every game, always free," Miller added in a video posted to the Coastal Carolina athletics' social media account. The Chanticleers are far from a blue-blood football program but have found some success in the Sun Belt Conference since joining the Football Bowl Subdivision. The team was 11-1 in 2020 and 11-2 in 2021, making appearances in The Associated Press top 25 poll under head coach Jamey Chadwell. Chadwell eventually left for Liberty and Tim Beck took over. Beck led Coastal Carolina to an 8-5 record in 2023 and 6-7 record in 2024. The team made bowl-game appearances in both seasons, winning the Hawaii Bowl in 2023 but losing the Myrtle Beach Bowl in 2024.
