It seems with each college basketball season, people come up with reasons why the game is failing, in trouble, or not as good as it could be. Everywhere, think pieces pop up about how to increase ratings, or just make the game more viewer-friendly and entertaining. Personally, I don’t think viewership is ever going to […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Back in 2004 on Feb. 4, something happened which changed the course of modern humankind. Mark Zuckerberg founded something called Facebook. At the time, Facebook was genius. It started out I think as needing a .edu e-mail address to be on it, so it seemed less creepy than MySpace. It […]

With National Signing Day right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to share a video from ESPN on what coaches think about one of the key tools in National Signing Day. The dreaded fax machine. National Signing Day (Wednesday, February 4) signals a fresh start for college football programs. The day officially […]

The one thing Kansas has consistently done for a decade is win the Big 12. Monday night went a long way to another Big 12 title for the Jayhawks, as they put together a big run bridging the first and second halves to run past the Iowa State Cyclones, 89-76. Kansas sits at 8-1 in […]

For Virginia, Monday’s win at North Carolina was accomplished with some feats it was not able to pull off against Duke on Saturday. While the early minutes of this game showed that the Tar Heels were intent on copying the recipe the Blue Devils used in defeating the Hoos, Virginia’s defense rebounded in the second […]

The Super Bowl and — with it — the full run of the live-game football season at all levels of competition (high school, college, and the pros) are over. There are two times of the year when it makes sense to explore the question of how the NFL and college football compare to each other […]

The debate over which conference is the best seems to crop up every year around this time, and while I am not sure how relevant it is to college basketball in general, it still gets to be an interesting topic most years. This year, however, I think the only real discussion is how one chooses […]
