Earlier today, reports surfaced that UCF head coach George O’Leary was going to step down at UCF this year. George O’Leary is considering stepping down at […]

Urban Meyer, a superstar head coach and a national figure in college football, spoke at Big Ten Media Days on Monday in Chicago. Big Ten Network did not provide live coverage of his session with the media. ESPN deserves plenty of criticism for how it elevates the SEC and undercuts the levels of exposure it gives to conferences such as the ACC and Big 12. However, when BTN can’t provide live coverage of Meyer, Mark Dantonio, and the coaches of its other big-name programs, the collection of factors that feed into conference bias becomes a lot more complicated. It’s not just about ESPN loving the SEC too much; it’s about BTN and Pac-12 Networks being markedly inadequate when covering their own conferences. Conference bias is, in other words, a two-way street and a multi-source problem. ESPN’s competitors have to do a better job.

Report: UNC Whistleblower Accused of Plagiarism

0 comments by

In somewhat of an ironic twist, Mary Willingham — the main whistleblower in the alleged UNC academic scandal — has been accused of plagiarism in her master’s thesis, according to a report from the Raleigh News and Observer. While I encourage you to read the entire article, the report doesn’t look too flattering for Willingham. Rather […]

It’s so easy to think that Steve Spurrier loathes Dabo Swinney and has no respect for him or Clemson University. Does Spurrier hate losing and a poor read by one of his quarterbacks? He and his visor tell you all you need to know. Does he hate his opponents and the people who represent them? The zingers and laugh lines are almost always meant in a spirit of fun… and it’s that spirit of fun which has enabled Spurrier to last this long in the coaching business with a lot less of the strain that wears on so many of his contemporaries in college football.

The introduction of semifinals before a national title game? Very, very good. The process by which the four College Football Playoff teams will be chosen? That’s not likely to be as satisfying or clear-cut for all parties involved.
