Jim Harbaugh Should Leave Michigan & Head To The Indianapolis Colts

If I’m Jim Harbaugh, I’m trying to make a move back to the NFL (*cough*Indianapolis Colts*cough cough*) as soon as possible, because the jig may be up for Ole Crazy Jim at the collegiate level.

Following another disappointing season at the University of Michigan, questions are beginning to be raised about the success — or lack thereof — of Jim Harbaugh’s tenor at the Big House. Yes, Harbaugh is only in his third season, but in those three seasons, it seems as though the Wolverines have lost every big game they’ve played in.

And it seems as though fellow college football coaches weren’t all that high on Harbaugh before the season either. A poll conducted by CBS Sports which asked 1/5 of the 130 FBS coaches a range of questions — including who they thought were the most overrated and underrated coaches — found that none other than Jim Harbaugh was college football’s most overrated coach.

via CBS Sports:

Following in the footsteps of our college basketball brethren here at CBS Sports, college football writers Dennis Dodd, Chip Patterson and Barrett Sallee spoke with one-fifth of the 130 active coaches leading FBS teams entering the 2017 season. They asked for honest opinions on everything from NCAA rules to social issues to their peers in the profession. We will be sharing their candid thoughts over a two-week period leading into the season.

Coaches as a peer group are tight. They defend each other to the end of the world and rarely have anything bad to say about one another — particularly on the record. It is for this reason that many of the coaches we questioned, even when granted the condition of anonymity, did not wish to soil the names of their compatriots. Still, we asked

Most underrated coaches in college football:

Bill Snyder (Kansas State): 24%
Chris Petersen (Washington): 15%
David Cutcliffe (Duke): 10%
Ken Niumatalolo (Navy): 10%
10 other coaches: 41%

Most overrated coaches in college football:

Jim Harbaugh (Michigan): 13%
Nick Saban (Alabama): 9%
Lane Kiffin (Florida Atlantic): 9%
Lovie Smith (Illinois): 9%
Brian Kelly (Notre Dame): 4%
Tom Herman (Texas): 4%
Will Muschamp (South Carolina): 4%
Choose not to answer: 48%

While not by much, Harbaugh was clearly considered an overrated coach even before the season started. Now, following an embarrassing regular season and a blown bowl game, it wouldn’t shock us if Harbaugh jumped ship sooner rather then later.

With his old Stanford buddy Andrew Luck installed as the franchise quarterback, Harbaugh (who played for the Colts when he was an NFL quarterback) could have the inside track to the Colts head gig.


Jon Gruden Net Worth 2018: How Much Is Gruden Worth Now?

0
0

Jon Gruden is a highly-paid ESPN football analyst who is rumored to be the future head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Gruden discussed this rumor on Wednesday during ESPN’s Golic and Wingo talk show, saying that there’s a good chance he’ll take up a job for the Oakland Raiders as head coach of the team. However, he quickly shot down other rumors that suggested he was offered an ownership stake in that Oakland NFL team.

Gruden was both a successful sports analyst and football coach. He led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory in the 2003 Super Bowl (XXXVII) as their head coach. At that time, he was the youngest coach in history to lead his team to victory in the Super Bowl at 39 years old (plus 5 months and 9 days). In 2017, he received that team’s Ring of Honor for his contributions as head coach of the Buccaneers from 2002 to 2008. He was also the head coach of the Oakland Raiders from 1998 to 2001. If reports turn out to be true then Gruden may just be the head coach of the Raiders once again.

While we wait for more news regarding Gruden’s potential future role with the Raiders, let’s look at how much money this man has accumulated over the years…

Jon Gruden Net Worth as of 2018: $22.5 Million

Jon Gruden’s net worth rolls in at a sweet $22.5 million. In 2015, it was reported that Gruden received a yearly salary of $6.5 million for his job as an ESPN color commentator for Monday Night Football. This large chunk of change made Gruden ESPN’s highest-paid on-air employee. But Gruden will reportedly make even more money as head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Sports radio talk show host Benjamin Allbright tweeted out that if Gruden does, in fact, take the job then he’ll receive a salary of $10 million a year (but this number hasn’t been confirmed as Gruden still hasn’t taken up the mantle of the head coach).

This guy sure has a lot of money. Let’s take a look at his road to riches…


1985 – 2002

Gruden began his career as a coach soon after graduating the University of Dayton in 1985 with a degree in communications. During the 1985-1986 NCAA football season, Gruden worked as a graduate assistant coach for the University of Tennessee’ Volunteers. He spent the next six years working as a coach for a variety of colleges, such Southeast Missouri State (1988), University of the Pacific (1989), and University of Pittsburg (1991). By 1990, he was already the special assistant coach of quarterbacks coach Mike Holmgren for the San Francisco 49ers.

In January 1992, Gruden joined the Green Bay Packers as their special offensive assistant/wide receivers coach. After three seasons with the Packers, he moved onto the Philadelphia Eagles where he worked as the offensive coordinator of the team.

In 1998, he signed on with the Oakland Raiders as their head coach. While with the team, he gained the nickname of “Chucky” for his resemblance to the fictional killer doll from the 1988 supernatural slasher Child’s Play. During the 2000 season, he led the Raiders to their first division title in a decade, as they reached the AFC Championship, ultimately losing out to the eventual Super Bowl champions the Baltimore Ravens.


2002 – Present

In 2002, Gruden received an astonishing $17.5 million 5-year contract to become the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He led the Bucs to Super Bowl glory in 2003 as they defeated Gruden’s former team the Oakland Raiders, 48-21. Gruden stayed with the Buccaneers until 2009 when he was fired after the team ended the season with four losses in a row.

Following his career with the Buccaneers, Gruden was picked up by ESPN to become a color analyst for their Monday Night Football telecasts. Each week, he gives out an award called the “Gruden Grinder” which names the best player during that week of Monday Night Football. While with ESPN, he also helped cover postseason college football games, such as the 2010 Rose Bowl and the 2011 Orange Bowl. In 2015, as an analyst for Monday Night Football, Gruden became ESPN’s highest-paid on-air employee with a yearly salary of $6.5 million.

Gruden is now rumored to be next in line to become the head coach for the Oakland Raiders. We’ll just have to wait and see how that story turns out…

Chappaqua firefighters responded to a fire at Bill and Hillary Clinton’s house in Chappaqua, New York. Bill Clinton is the former President of the United States while Hillary is the former Democratic Candidate in the 2016 Presidential Election and former Secretary of State.

The fire was at 15 Old House Lane, the address of ex-President Clinton. The main body of the fire was been knocked out.

According to TMZ, the Chappaqua Fire Dept said that a “structure on the property” is ablaze and they are on the scene to control it. Initially, it was unclear if the main structure was involved in the fire or if an “ancillary structure such as a garage or guest house was on fire.” However, police have since said in a statement that the fire was not at their “main residence”.

The fire happened on the second floor of the structure and has mostly been extinguished. Crews are currently searching checking for any additional, smaller fire.

Police declined to give any further details on the incident.

Chappaqua is in northern Westchester County, New York. It is on 0.45 square miles of land on the east bank of the Hudson River, about 30 miles north of New York City. The hamlet is served by the Chappaqua station of the Metro-North Railroad’s Harlem Line. In the New York State Legislature, it is within the New York State Assembly’s 93rd district and the New York Senate’s 40th district. In Congress, the village is in New York’s 17th District.

Chappaqua was founded by a group of Quakers in the 1730s. President Bill and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have lived there since the late 1990’s. They bought the home next door to their home at 33 Old House Lane for $1.16 million in 2016 and turned the properties into a single compound

Former president Bill and Hillary Clinton‘s house in Chappaqua, New York has caught fire.

At the time of news breaking, it was unclear if the main house had caught on fire or if only a “garage or guest house” had been harmed, according to TMZ. According to later reports, the fire is believed to have started on the second floor of the structure.

The Chappaqua Fire Dept had been on the scene trying to control the fire.

A live video of the house can be watched below:


Bill & Hillary Clinton House Fire Updates

According to CBS, the fire had been extinguished around 3:15 PM, confirmed Sgt. Arthur Mendoza of the New Castle Police Department. Mendoza added that a caller had alerted authorities over the fire at around 2:51 PM; the caller’s identity is unknown at this time.

There are no reports of injuries and it was clarified that the fire occurred in a smaller house on the property, rather than the main house.

Colorado (Of Course) Police Department Makes Hilarious & Poorly Edited “Fugitive Feud”

0
0

Durango Police Department

Whatever you gotta do to get the bad guy I guess, right? Got to give this police department credit for ingenuity, as they’ve essentially achieved what their goal was: virality. The easiest way to catch a criminal is to get their face out there and now this little Colorado town has a New York City-based website writing an article about their suspects. That’s social media 101, kids. The (probably high) intern or officer who came up with this idea definitely deserves a raise.

The Durango Police Department in Colorado is using the premise of “Family Feud” in an effort to identify suspects on the run.

On their Facebook page, the DPD allows the community to play “Fugitive Feud” by listing the top suspects and their identifying information as if it were on the television game show. Like I said, ingenuity at it’s finest.

According to The Durango Herald, Cindi Taylor (ah! so it wasn’t an intern!), the officer who made the video, said the idea behind the video is that it’s a new take on the weekly wanted posters released by the department.

“I wanted to create something that would capture the community’s attention more than the wanted poster,” Taylor said.

via The Durango Herald:

“We use it (social media) to educate our community on crime trends and encourage citizens to report crimes,” Taylor said. “We often try to use humor in our videos and posts to try to engage our community more.”

DPD must often walk the line between funny and offensive, and the intent is never to make light of a serious situation with the videos, Taylor said.

“We try not to push it too far, but we can’t please everyone all of the time,” she said. “It is a good way to engage with people, and a lot of us see bad things in our job as police officers, so humor sometimes helps with day-to-day things we see and deal with.”

Taylor said DPD will continue to post weekly wanted posters but will also release new episodes of “Fugitive Feud” monthly.

In this ever-changing world of 2018, you either need to adapt or fall behind. The Durango Police Department adapted.

Four top-notch vocalists will fight to defend their seats against newcomers each week. The longer they hold their seats, the closer they get to the finish line.

The last singer sitting will win a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take their career further with a panel of music industry specialists behind them and will be named an iHeartMedia “On The Verge” artist.

Diddy told Entertainment Weekly that he was looking to build his own “superteam” with the panel of artists and hosts for the show. He wanted to make the show unique and differentiate it from all of the other singing competition shows on television. He did that by starting the show much later in the process than other shows, meaning that The Four starts with finalists, rather than showing the whole audition process, which is essentially the same on all competition shows.

All four of the panelists are said to have great chemistry together and they each bring their own unique twist to judging.

“This show is going to disrupt the world of competition television and will revolutionize the format,” Diddy said in an interview with Variety.

Check out the preview of the new hit singing competition here.

The NFL regular season is no more. The time for the battle-hardened underdogs to persevere and the perceived elite to fulfill their lofty destinies is now. Undoubtedly, the unexpected will occur as all four wild-card teams from both the NFC and AFC attempt to topple the postseason favorites that currently stand in their way. Although many fans are already anxious to be captivated by the well-known juggernauts in the Divisional Round, the Wild-Card round always offers plenty of unpredictable upsets as underappreciated franchises attempt to prove that their coveted playoff spots were well-earned. Even if your team failed to make the playoffs this year, there will still be a multitude of high-octane affairs that should satiate any disappointment for fans who have to watch their hated rivals compete for a highly coveted Super Bowl Title.

Although it would be easy to postulate that the Kansas City Chiefs have the distinct edge in this contest as they have the better team on paper and home-field advantage, the competitive disparity between both of these franchises is actually much closer than you would think. Sure, the Tennessee Titans limped there way into the playoffs with a 9-7 record, but in their last three losses, the Titans lost by a combined score of just 12 points. With that being said, the Titans underrated defense has struggled to cover up for the deficiencies of third-year quarterback Marcus Mariota. Aside from throwing more interceptions than touchdowns this season (13 TD’s, 15 INT’s), Mariota has been inconsistent running the football as well, which was supposed to be one of his more promising attributes (312 rushing yards, 5.2 rushing yards per game, both career lows). Conversely, the Chiefs are red hot coming into the playoffs as they have scored 26 points or more and have held three out of their last four opponents to under 20 points during their last four games. With both Alex Smith and running back Kareem Hunt playing well down the stretch of the regular season, the Tennessee Titans will need running back Derrick Henrey to pick up the slack for an offense that has been wildly inconsistent all season. Although the defense of the Titans will keep this game relatively close, the electric playmakers of the Chiefs and the innovative play calling of head coach Andy Reid will eventually win out in front of a deafening and passionate fan base at home

Final Score: Titans 20 Chiefs 28 Spread: Kansas City -9.0


Atlanta Falcons vs. Los Angeles Rams

Time: Saturday, 8:15 PM E.T.
Location: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California
TV Channel: NBC

Arguably the most intriguing wild card matchup this weekend, the burgeoning defense of the Atlanta Falcons against the electric offense of the Los Angeles Rams should be an incredible sight to behold. Quitely allowing just 19.7 points per game, the physical defensive front of the Falcons has worked wonders against every opponent they have encountered. Despite the statistical regression of quarterback Matt Ryan (38 TD’s and 7 INT’s last season, 20 TD’s and 12 INT’s this season), the veteran passer has still been efficient and accurate from a macro perspective (64.7 CMP%). However, the offense of the Falcons has been at its best when running backs Tevin Coleman (628 rushing yards, five touchdowns) and Devonta Freeman (865 rushing yards, seven touchdowns) have been able to run wild on opposing defenses as both offensive weapons are equally proficient at catching and running the football. On the other side of the equation, the offensively supercharged Rams (29.8 PPG) are loaded with potent offensive weapons, the most notable of which is MVP candidate running back Todd Gurley (19 total touchdowns, over 2,00 all-purpose yards).  Although the dominant play of Gurley has been the obvious catalyst for the Rams offensive success, it has also been the resurgence of quarterback Jared Goff that has allowed this team to be truly dynamic and unpredictable when moving the ball down the field towards the end zone (five touchdowns and seven interceptions last season, 28 touchdowns and seven interceptions this year). While the Rams have been one of the many surprise success stories in the NFL this year and have a prolific offense, the Falcons have established themselves as a dominant defensive team and should get enough production from both their rushing and passing games to escape Los Angeles with a shocking and well-deserved upset victory.

Final Score: Falcons 26 Rams 23 Spread: Los Angeles -6.5


Buffalo Bills vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Time: Sunday, 1:05 PM E.T.
Location: EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Florida
TV Channel: CBS

Although the Buffalo Bills needed some help to earn themselves a coveted playoff berth, this team did what they had to do down the stretch as they won three out of their last four games. Unfortunately, the Bills final win of the regular season came with a steep price as running back LeSean McCoy sprained his ankle and will be a game-time decision come game day. While Buffalo does have some other notable playmakers in wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin and tight end Charles Clay, they have struggled to pass the ball effectively throughout the season (176.6 PYPG) and have been overly reliant on their potent rushing game to carry them offensively (126.1 RYPG). Of course, it has been well-documented that the Jacksonville Jaguars have been one of the most efficient defenses this season (16.8 PAPG) as they have allowed just one opponent to score more than 30 points against them. However, even more surprising is the much-improved quarterback play of Blake Bortles, who has looked incredibly confident when locating his speedy receivers (7.05 yards per pass attempt). On top of that, the Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette has been fearless in rushing the football between the tackles (8.4 yards per rushing attempt), which has allowed Bortles to be more effective as opposing defenses can longer tee off on him and forget about the running game. While Bills fans should be incredibly pleased that their team finally found a way to make it to the playoffs, this glorious euphoria will be short lived as Buffalo will struggle mightily to get anything going against the Jaguars stout defense even if McCoy is able to suit up and play on Sunday.

Final Score: Bills 13 Jaguars 27 Spread: Jacksonville -9.0


Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints

Time: Sunday, 4:40 PM E.T.
Location: Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana
TV Channel: FOX

Despite the current and consensus perception that the NFL is a quarterback and passer friendly league, the run-happy, defensively stout Carolina Panthers are winning in a slightly different fashion. Rushing for 131.3 yards per game (with quarterback Cam Newton being the Panthers leading rusher with 754 rushing yards), the Panthers have consistently imposed their will as a physical offense and have been able to win several close games as a result. However, if the Panthers hope to overcome the top-10 defense of the dominantly dynamic New Orleans Saints, they will need rookie running back Christian McCaffrey to be a prominent threat in the short passing game (8.1 yards per reception). Beyond New Orleans opportunistic defense, the Saints have emphatically established themselves as one of the most versatile offenses in the NFL with a relentless rushing attack (129.4 RYPG) and a potent albeit slightly less prolific passing game (261.8 PYPG). Despite quarterback Drew Brees throwing for less than 30 touchdowns for the first time since 2007, the Saints have received immense production from running backs Mark Ingram (1124 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns) and rookie sensation Alvin Kamara (13 total touchdowns, over 1500 all-purpose yards) to elevate an already deadly offense (28 PPG). Although the Panthers have a physically gifted defense and arguably the most athletic quarterback in the NFL, the Saints have way more firepower on the offensive side of the football, something that even the impressively consistent defense of the Panthers will be unable to contain for very long.

Final Score: Panthers 27 Saints 31 Spread: New Orleans -7.0

New Study Finally Determines The More Popular Drink: Beer Or Wine?

Alcohol culture is a little upside down these days.

Zima, the lightly carbonated alcoholic beverage introduced by the Coors Brewing Company in 1993 is back. Icing people with Smirnoff Ice is back. You can buy ‘to-go’ cups of wine.

Yet, despite all this, beer still reigns supreme, according to the latest Gallup Poll.

After collecting data from a random sample of 1,021 American adults, Gallup found that Americans who drink alcohol continue most often choose beer, with 40% choosing beer, 30% choosing wine, and 26% choosing liquor (26%).

via Gallup:

The latest results are from a July 5-9 update of Gallup’s annual Consumption Habits poll. Gallup has found that beer is most popular among men; this year, 62% of male drinkers say they prefer beer, compared with 19% of female drinkers. Less-educated and middle-incomeAmericans also tend to choose beer.

For the past two decades, at least three in 10 drinkers have said they prefer wine, peaking at 39% in 2005. Wine was slightly less popular in the early to mid-1990s. Women are significantly more likely than men to prefer wine, at 50% vs. 11%, respectively. This beverage is also preferred more among college-educated adults.

The 26% of drinkers who name liquor as their beverage of choice is the highest in Gallup’s 25-year trend, but similar to the 24% recorded in 2004. The percentage naming liquor has typically been closer to 20%. Future measurements will help determine whether the current figure marks the beginning of a trend toward an increased preference for liquor.

With over 5,000 breweries in the United States, it seems as though beer’s longtime stranglehold on American drinking culture is going nowhere fast.

Despite what they say, it appears as though the pussification of America isn’t complete after all.

At a time, it seemed like you could not go to YouTube, or the now-defunct Vine, for that matter, without seeing anything to do with Logan and Jake Paul. While there is such a thing as flying to close to the sun, he still had some big hits along the way on, some of which were immortalized on his YouTube channel.

According to his view counts, Paul’s most popular videos on his official vlog channel were his music videos. Methinks he should have stuck with the songwriting business…


The Fall of Jake Paul

For some people, it seemed like Logan Paul used to come 2-for-the-price-of-1 with his brother, Jake. Like a lot of famous sibling acts, however, they eventually parted ways, with Logan releasing the following song poking fun at that, even getting Alissa Violet in on the act. At the time of this writing, this video had over 151 million views.

While technically another video, another version of this song also garnered over 72 millions views, at the time of this writing.


The Rise Of The Pauls

Despite the previous video, there were times when the two Paul brothers appeared to like each other. Actually, the following video is somewhat, shall we say, passive-aggressive about their relationship. At the time of this writing, this video had over 57 million views.


HERO

In response to a video of a little boy singing about how he is his hero, Logan Paul joined forces with Noah Tesh/Zircon, to produce a follow-up video. At the time of this writing, this video had over 42 million views.

Outta My Hair

Joining forces with Bella Thorne, Hailee Bobailee, and Lauren Elizabeth, the song details an unhealthy relationship that also delves into a riddle for the ages: do the undead like pizza? At the time of this writing, this video had over 35 million views.

Santa Diss Track

I’m not saying making a YouTube video is a bad idea, but it is probably one of the top legal ways to get on the naughty list for life, among other things. At the time of this writing, this video had over 35 million views.

Fayetteville Police Department

University of Arkansas quarterback Cole Kelley was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, careless driving and other offenses in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

According to the report filed by the Fayetteville Police Department, Kelly, the 20-year-old redshirt freshman, was booked at 8:47 AM after being arrested. Kelly’s bond was set at $935 and he was released from the Washington County Jail at 11:46 AM.

Police reports indicate that Kelley was pulled over around 4 AM after an officer witnessed Kelley driving with his tires on the curb. Kelley was arrested after he refused to take a breathalyzer test. His eyes were allegedly “red and watery”.

via CBS:

“We are gathering all information from the proper authorities and will make a determination upon review of that information,” Bielema said in a statement.

CBS Sports writes that Kelley played in Arkansas’ 33-10 loss at LSU on Saturday, completing 3 of 10 passes for 33 yards with an interception. He’s appeared in nine games this year and has taken over as the team’s starter after leading the team to wins against Ole Miss and Coastal Carolina.

As a result, Kelley has been indefinitely suspended from the team.

“He’s indefinitely suspended from our program,” Bielema said. “This week, he’ll not be with us and will not play on Saturday. It’s a learning lesson that I hope he takes full advantage of.”

Kelley was the 16th overall recruit by ESPN in the 2016 recruiting class.

Back when I was in middle school, almost 15 years ago at this point, Ciara first burst on the scene with her BANGER of a song “Goodies”. You youngins might not know this one, but it was heat.

But then a strange rumor came out that Ciara was a … dude? And a lot of us 11 and 12-year-olds were confused. “Ciara? A dude? But how? Hottest dude I’ve ever seen.”

First We Feast

Coming from First We Feast, the dudes who bring us Hot Ones, comes an entirely new mind game of a food show: trying the world’s hangover cures.

No matter where you go in the world, whether it be to your next door neighbor’s house, or across the globe, someone will tell you that they know they cure to hangovers. Greasy food and coffee, Advil and water, bong rips and Gatorade, no matter who you are, you have your own remedy.

However, no matter what combination of cures you may mix together, the result remains the same: if you drank enough, the hangover will persist, no matter what you do. Hangovers are the epitome of God’s ironic sense of humor, and they are going to exist as long as alcohol does.

Logan Paul is an American vlogger and actor, initially making his name on the now-defunct Vine, eventually transitioning to YouTube.

Despite his claim to fame being Vine, he’s been producing videos on YouTube since he was 10 years old, for a channel called Zoosh. Eventually, he garnered over 15 million subscribers on YouTube, with some of his videos getting up to 20 million views.

In time, he and his brother, Jake Paul, became icons in pop culture, with the latter appearing on Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark. For Logan’s part, he has also appeared in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Weird Loners, and the YouTube Red film, The Thinning. He also threw his hat into the screenwriting ring and has a digital TV series with Comcast called “Logan Paul Vs.”

In early 2018, Paul  became a subject of controversy after uploading a video filmed within Japan’s Mount Fuji, also known as the “Suicide Forest.” During the video, Paul and his team come across a deceased man hanging from a tree. Although the man’s face was blurred, the rest of the body could be seen. Although Paul later issued an apology on social media and YouTube, many thought he took the situation too lightly and that it had been inappropriate to film in the infamous forest to begin with.

Let’s take a look at some of his most popular Instagram posts!

An unidentified Fresno State student was found dead at a fraternity house on Wednesday, January 3.

Local authorities say that police received an emergency call from the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity house at Cal State University-Fresno around 2:30 PM. The unnamed student was taken to nearby Saint Agnes Medical Center by paramedics but was declared dead shortly after his arrival at the hospital.

According to ABC, friends say the 19-year-old Fresno State student was visiting Delta Sigma Phi during Winter break when someone handed him a pill, however, police have not confirmed that information. Further reports indicate that the student laid unconscious “on the front porch for hours” until help arrived.

Police reportedly blocked off the house with police tape and were seen interviewing a number of fraternity members.

via ABC:

The student’s name is not being released at this time, pending family notification, the university said in a statement.

The school confirmed that the Fresno Police Department is investigating the death and said it would release more information when possible. It was unclear whether the student was a member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.

The frat house’s parking lot was reportedly blocked off with police tape in the wake of the incident as officers interviewed several men on the scene, including some who were wearing the fraternity’s sweatshirts, at around 5 p.m.

The national Delta Sigma Phi fraternity organization sent out a statement, saying “While the investigation continues, it is important to note that this was not connected to any chapter event and occurred during the school’s Winter break.”

This is just the latest fraternity-related death in the past year, as schools such as Indiana University, the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Texas State, Florida State, Ball State, Louisiana State and Penn State have all suspended fraternities.
