It’s not as sexy or as enjoyable to talk about, but it forms the basis of how we can create an environment in which less wrongdoing occurs. Procedure — if crafted creatively and effectively — enables […]

College football and basketball certainly are, by far, the two most popular college sports, and their respective championships become magnet events for many. I, however, am here to […]

0 comments by on 5/14/2016

This is true despite the SEC scheduling powerhouses such as Chattanooga, Alcorn State, Texas State, Presbyterian, Nicholls State, Austin Peay, Delaware State, Wofford, Prairie View, […]

The Big 12’s problem is that it doesn’t merely have one problem. The league has to make numerous adjustments, from non-conference scheduling to the conference title game issue to the split-championship issue which did not help the league’s cause. Oh, and the league might want to consider expanding IF the 12-team requirement for conference title games is upheld in April.
