Beau Sweeney Transfering From Cal

The Contra Costa Times reports that Beau Sweeney has been released from his scholarship and is transferring from Cal.Sweeney, a redshirt junior with two years of eligibility left, has been granted a release from his scholarship. Tedford said He's interested in transferring to a Football Championship Subdivision program so he doesn't have to sit out this season."He's a backup here and wants a chance to play. He's a great kid. We wish him all the best," Tedford said.Sweeney was one of six quarterbacks vying for the starting job in spring camp but didn't make the cut when Tedford narrowed that competition to the top three. He spent most of the 2009 season and part of 2010 as the Bears' No. 2 quarterback but was dropped to the No. 3 spot about halfway through last season.
