5 years after Penn State, what’s different — especially at Baylor?

0 comments by on 4/26/2016

The stories emerging about Baylor football are the latest in a series of reports. That dry statement is intended to convey the following point: Stories might be released in the present moment, but the actual events they point to cover the past few years. In other words, it’s not as though this most recent story […]

Big Ten-Fox deal a winner for both sides

0 comments by on 4/20/2016

There’s nothing like having a smooth $1.5 billion in your pocket, at least I’d assume. If you ever get there, good on you. Fox and the Big Ten agreed to a $250 million annual deal for the next six years, as well as half of the league’s media rights, allowing the network to broadcast 25 […]

Georgia Should Name Jacob Eason its Starting Quarterback

0 comments by on 4/17/2016

Georgia’s spring game reaffirmed what many of us already knew: Jacob Eason should be the starting quarterback for the Bulldogs in 2016. This comment is almost certain to raise a few eyebrows. After all, Greyson Lambert went 10-2 as the starter for UGA last season. In addition, Brice Ramsey – the backup quarterback last fall […]

5 reasons to Watch Ohio State’s Spring Game on Saturday

0 comments by

There aren’t many college football programs that can set their attendance goal to 100,000 for their annual spring game. That’s the case for Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes, as they continue to develop what has now become an Ohio Stadium tradition of filling the seats in April. This year, it’s for a different […]

Satellite Camp Riff Raff will only help Harbaugh in recruiting

0 comments by

Jim Harbaugh is National Lampoon’s Van Wilder. Specifically, he’s Wilder at the dinner party where Tara Reid’s character (Gwen) has to deal with him impromptu showing up when she’s supposed to be enjoying an upper class evening with her stuck up baggish boyfriend and family. In the end, free wheeling, under-dressed, future-less Wilder ends up […]

Cincinnati is the most uncomfortable big-ticket program in the country

0 comments by on 4/12/2016

The city of Cincinnati is uncomfortable enough in the realm of professional sports. The Reds are in rebuilding mode, and the Bengals… well, they’re the Bengals. This discomfort extends to the collegiate ranks. Let’s be clear at the outset: An uncomfortable situation is not equivalent to a rock-bottom situation. Discomfort is not purely a reflection […]

NCAA quietly makes a pro-school ruling with new bowl game ban

0 comments by on 4/11/2016

If the NCAA cared at all what folks thought of it, it’d go on the porch with a few cold ones, stare up at the night sky, and re-evaluate its decision making from the past week. It might smile at the end of the bottle that it managed to do one thing right, even if […]

David Shaw lives in reality regarding satellite camps. Be mad if you choose.

(In ESPN 30 for 30 voice) What if I were to tell you that Stanford has a lower admittance percentage of applicants than Harvard, than Yale? What if I were to tell you that of Stanford’s student body population, 76 percent graduated high school with a 4.0 grade point average or better? What if I […]

Text messages, college football recruiting, and the reality of NCAA power

0 comments by on 4/9/2016

  Sometimes you can’t always get what you want in college football. That doesn’t stop you, though, if you’re a coach or program official in the SEC — when the plan all along was to get what you need. That was evident at Friday’s NCAA Division I council meeting, which produced the immediate shutdown of […]

Satellite camps, the SEC, and real talk about competition

0 comments by on 4/8/2016

As soon as college basketball ended — putting an end to the football-basketball portion of the college sports cycle — the headlines have exploded with big developments, the latest being the shutdown of satellite camps by the NCAA. More precisely, this is not “the NCAA” or Mark Emmert; this is the collection of NCAA member […]
