The SEC Network launched in August of last season to much hype and curiosity. The first year saw cable and satellite distributors jump on board quickly and that has helped the network do something they didn’t think they would do so quickly…turn a profit. From 247Sports: South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner told the school’s Board […]
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.

The NCAA is widely considered the big bad beast of ineptness in the realm of college sports. Not only is it trendy to pick on all things governing-body related, it is expected if you care about anything that deals with their fictional ideal of amateurism that you pile on them as often as possible. However, […]

Coming off Wednesday night’s loss to Arizona State and Stanford’s recent loss to Colorado, the Pac-12 is in danger of getting as many teams in the NCAA Tournament as the Missouri Valley Conference: two. While Arizona and Utah are locks to get in, there is not another team in the conference which can feel confident […]

We’re roughly two weeks away from the start of conference tournaments. For teams on the bubble, they must play well now. A number of teams notched signature victories this week, but for some, there is still work to do. Teams in all caps are projected to be conference champions. Conference winners will account for 32 […]

The recent talk of making freshmen ineligible for men’s basketball and football got a little more serious Thursday, when word leaked out that the Big Ten actually is giving the idea some thought. Given that commissioners Bob Bowlsby of the Big 12 and Larry Scott of the Pac-12 also have discussed the idea lately, it would […]

How’s this for a fantastic play? Old Dominion’s Richard Ross grabs the alley-oop pass and dunks it backward! The Monarchs won their 18th straight game at home as they went on to clobber Southern Miss 64-38 to move to 19-6 on the season

It will be an ACC/SEC match-up to start the year in 2016. Both Georgia and North Carolina are familiar with the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game as both have came up short in previous games. In 2010, UNC lost to LSU 30-24 and in 2011 Georgia fell to Boise State 35-21. Believe it or not these teams […]

When a discussion on “ways to improve college basketball” develops, the first thing you’ll likely hear is that timeouts need to be reduced, guldarnit. After the timeout discussion runs its course, the next biggest topic is likely to be all the fouls at the end of a game, or if not that, the larger lamentation […]

This is not going to take too long, everyone, but it does need to be documented and spelled out in a few sentences and several links you are encouraged to briefly check: Oliver Luck, formerly the athletic director at West Virginia University and a member of the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, recently took a […]

Last night, the lights on the strip in Las Vegas went dark for three minutes to honor the passing of former UNLV basketball coach, and legend, Jerry Tarkanian…. One of the few times you'll ever see our city dark

UCLA is in the market for a new defensive coordinator. Their last DC, Jeff Ulbrich, famously left for the Atlanta Falcons as quickly as he could after National Signing Day. Under the watch of Jim L Mora, the Bruins defense has seen continued improvement. They have risen in the Pac-12 Total Defense rankings every year […]

When we think of game management in team sports, baseball is the first one that comes to mind. After all, the leader of a baseball team isn’t called the “manager” for nothing. Day after day, a manager must make the same kinds of decisions: Lefty-righty or individual matchup? Trust the hot hitter or use a […]

Last week we lost Jerry Tarkanian. This week, members of the 1990 UNLV Rebels team honored him by getting matching tattoos…. It’s on me now. pic.twitter.com/k9k0wKSv5m — Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2)
