Prediction: Satellite Camp Ban will be short lived in its current state

0 comments by on 4/12/2016

Jim Harbaugh is angry (rightly so). The social media mob is too (though as per usual, you question if they really know why). Potential recruits are angry (and they should be the angriest). The SEC and ACC are checking the front door peep hole to make sure no one’s gathering in a mob on their […]

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 […]

College Basketball: 5 programs which wouldn’t mind a Josh Pastner-style move

0 comments by

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 […]

Memphis basketball is a job great coaches should covet

0 comments by

The story of Memphis basketball isn’t fully contained in the picture above, but a lot of the Tigers’ best moments flowed from the two men in that photo. More instructively, the prestige and cachet of the Memphis job were built by those two individuals, so that future players and coaches could attempt to take the […]

0 comments by

  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 […]
