The college hoops coaching carousel has almost run its course. Of the 48 transitions at Division I programs in this spin of the carousel, 46 have been finalized. As of 1 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, April 27, only two open jobs remain: Delaware in the Colonial and Northern Colorado in the Big Sky. We’ve […]

Sylvia Hatchell might not be an innocent figure. She and her women’s basketball program at the University of North Carolina might deserve the punishments which likely await in the future. Nevertheless, after the NCAA’s release of its amended notice of allegations on Monday, it is hard to escape the idea that Hatchell and UNC women’s […]

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 […]

The college basketball coaching carousel — 48 changes, 45 slots filled as of Monday afternoon — hasn’t entirely stopped spinning. Yet, when Tubby Smith left Texas Tech, a few extra go-rounds became part of this annual April affair. With three slots left to be filled, a few final facts and figures can’t yet be tabulated. […]

The new college basketball head coaching class is still being filled — five of the 48 changed jobs this offseason remain vacant — but one can already say that the largest group of first-year coaches in Division I men’s basketball consists of those who will take over programs for the very first time in their […]

The college football regular season is still over four months away, but that hasn’t kept hardcore fans from tuning in this off-season to see their favorite teams — and quarterbacks — practice on a glorified platform. In Columbus, head coach Urban Meyer asked his fans to help set a tone for his young roster that […]

In our latest review of the college basketball coaching carousel — such a broad topic requires multiple examinations — we consider the new balance of power among the conferences. No, nothing earth-shaking occurred in the latest cycle of upward moves, downward moves, and relocations of all kinds. However, this isn’t a static landscape, either, and […]

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 […]

Tubby Smith is not what one would call a “typical” hire for a program with Memphis’ stature and aspirations. That’s a definite part of why a lot of Tiger fans didn’t immediately embrace the decision to bring him aboard (even though many certainly accepted the larger situation). When it became plain that Gregg Marshall, Buzz […]

The college basketball coaching carousel hasn’t stopped spinning, but its main whirl has run its course. When Marvin Menzies took the UNLV job — which was caused by the opening of the Texas Tech job, which was caused by Memphis’s decision to hire Tubby Smith, which was caused by Josh Pastner bolting for Georgia Tech […]

People have far worse problems than the ones faced by UNLV athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy. That said, within the theater of college athletics and the pressures of a cutthroat business, Kunzer-Murphy just endured one of the more difficult months any athletic director has ever faced. It’s not just that Marvin Menzies — formerly the coach […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
