When it comes to college cheerleaders, we here at COED fancy ourselves as experts on the matter.  But the truth is, without the insane archives of sexy cheerleader photo awesomeness from Sports Illustrated, our cheerleader posts would be hard pressed to make the 2nd string B-Team. Thankfully for us… and you, SI profiles a Cheerleader of the Week each week during college football season and to date have featured 115 of the sexiest cheerleaders America’s colleges have to offer.

The list is growing by the week and the massive amount of hotness can be a bit overwhelming so we’ve decided to cut through the madness and weed the list down to the 20 Sexiest SI Cheerleaders of the Week. Nothing against the 90 girls who didn’t make the cut, you are beautiful, but to be on this list you need to be the best.

The NCAA exploits amateur athletes to no end by raking in millions while amateurs aren’t even allowed to get gifts. The worst part is, the guys that do not go on to the pros never get a penny after they lose their amateur status either.

Former UCLA basketball great Ed O’Bannon seeks to change just that as he has filed suit against the NCAA, claiming that they owe him royalties for using his likeness and name in DVDs, video games, and jerseys. (more…)

A former UCLA basketball player is suing the NCAA over its use of former student athletes’ images in DVDs, video games, photographs, apparel and other material.

In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday, Ed O’Bannon says the NCAA illegally has athletes sign away their rights to the commercial use of their images and does not share any of the proceeds from their use with former athletes.

“While the NCAA, its member conferences and schools, and its for-profit business partners reap millions of dollars from revenue streams …, former student athletes whose likenesses are utilized to generate those profit centers receive no compensation whatsoever,” the suit claims.

Officials in Orange, Calif., say it will cost up to $19,000 to fix a fountain broken during Chapman University students’ unofficial Undie Run event.

City officials said during the annual student event, in which students run through parts of the city in their underwear, a 71-year-old fountain in the city’s traffic circle was damaged, The Orange County (Calif.) Register said Tuesday. [UPI]

Oregon Ducks Cheerleaders Know How To Party

Many people think that the Oregon Ducks Cheerleaders are one of the hottest squads in the country. I happen to agree with this statement.

And after further review I’ve concluded that most of these girls are also doing college right. That would mean a lot of work, and a lot of play. Why don’t we check out a little behind the scenes with some of these girls shall we? [Uncoached]

Mississippi Coach Arrested For Assault

Cincinnati Police say 40 year old Andy Kennedy punched 25 year old cab driver Jiddou Mohammed Ould in the face with a closed fist while shouting racial slurs. The assault happened in the 500 block of Walnut Street in Downtown Cincinnati at 1 a.m. The police report states that there was an unrelated witness who saw the incident. [Dead Spin]

Just when we thought the Undie Run was down and out it looks like this infamous UCLA tradition is back, and stronger than ever! Sure, the run has a new course this year (it no longer ends at the fountain outside Royce Hall – if you jump in, you’ll be arrested), but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be any less fun – or any less bootylicious!

Below we’ve compiled eight awesome UCLA Undie Run galleries, featuring over 220 pictures of some of the hottest college chicks in the country. And you thought Wednesdays were boring…

Hardcore Porn Enters UCLA’s Curriculum

It has been three decades since the last time an adult film screened at UCLA — a time when “Deep Throat” was a phrase for both fellatio and Woodward and Bernstein’s Watergate source. On Wednesday, some 1,000 boisterous students filled the Ackerman Ballroom at the center of UCLA campus for a free screening of Digital Playground’s “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge,” an adult film much lauded for its multimillion-dollar budget, scripted scenes and, of course, hardcore action.

Jessica Simpson Wants To Go To College

Jessica Simpson wants to head off to college to study theology – and watching TV was her inspiration. “I’ve been contemplating taking a college course in religion,” the bubblehead told Marie Claire. “I love religion. I remember whenever the book ‘The Da Vinci Code’ came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I TiVoed and then watched eight times.” [Attu World]

Blake Griffin Got Nut Punched By Leon Washington

#6 Oklahoma eked out a 73-72 victory over USC last night, and part of what kept the Trojans close was Blake Griffin’s absence during part of the second half after he got nut-punched by USC’s Leon Washington. And yet, even though they showed the replay a dozen times, neither announcer actually told the viewers what happened. It’s like they were afraid to say groin, or genitals, or testicles, or jizz factory. [With Leather]

As of Friday afternoon, everyone is at 0-0 (almost, sorry Baylor, you got hammered). With the openning day kick-off less than 24 hours away, let us put Obama/McCain on hold and turn our attention to young men being given free educations in exchange for engaging in the controlled violence that we in the U.S. call NCAA College Football.

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been sitting around on the couch, watching the best athletes in the world compete for international greatness while you stuff your face with Funyuns and refill your beer helmet thinking, “Where the hell do all these amazing athletes come from?”

Well, if they’re from the United States, they probably come from these nine schools, where some of the best athletes in the 2008 Beijing Summer Games developed their medal-winning talent. No place provides for top-notch coaching like college. And these nine schools have provided more Olympians than any others in the country. So get ready to find out where you should have gone to school. (more…)

UCLA Sends 37 Athletes To The Olympics

Looking to add to its rich Olympic history yet again in 2008, UCLA will send a total of 37 athletes and coaches to this summer’s Olympic Games, which will be held Aug. 8-24 in Beijing, China. Of the 37 Bruins traveling to Beijing, 31 are athletes (27 former, 3 current, 1 incoming), and six are coaches.

UCLA was one of the nation’s most successful universities at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, ranking No. 1 among all universities in number of different medalists (19) and number of Olympians (57 representing the United States and 13 foreign countries). Of the 19 medals UCLA took home in 2004, eight were gold, eight were bronze and three were silver. If UCLA were a country, it would have placed 14th overall in the medal count. [UCLA]

Ten Things I Miss Most About Being in a Fraternity

College is clearly one of, if not the best time in one’s life. And if you had the chance to join a fraternity, at least for me, it clearly accentuated that life to a very large extent.

Assuming you take out the homo erotic tendencies and relative abuse factor, I can honestly say (without sounding too corny) that joining a fraternity was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Here are 10 reason why… [Uncoached]

Congress May Make It Harder For Credit Card Companies To Target College Students

Credit card companies beware: Congress is watching.

A flurry of bills is in the works in the House of Representatives and the Senate that would rein in how those companies do business. One proposed change that’s triggered interest among lawmakers, particularly as the economy sours, would make it harder for college students to qualify for credit cards.

“It really is just too easy,” said Christine Lindstrom, the director of the Higher Education Project at the nonpartisan Public Interest Research Group. “They will do anything to be the first card in college students’ wallets. They don’t do credit checks. They don’t even know if students have income.” [Huffington Post]
