Florida and the College Football Championship Belt 2008-12-13 14:36:00 There might be plenty of unrest with the BCS, but with the lack of a playoff system it affords us the chance to have some fun. So for all those who feel Texas should be playing, know this: Florida
is the defending champion...if we treat college football lime boxing. On Oct 11, Florida beat last years champion LSU giving LSU their first loss. Florda has not lost since. So they go into the BCS

Florida & Oklahoma Win Today 2008-12-07 01:49:00 So everyone is expecting Oklahoma
to move to #1 in the BCS and Florida
jumping from #4 to #2.
But what if on Sunday, it's all gets messy? Florida is currently #4 with a .885 ranking. Texas sits at #2 with a .922 ranking, just .013 points behind #2 Oklahoma.
The BCS bashers would love nothing more than for the computers to push Oklahoma to #1 but fail to put Florida above Texas. That would put

Recruiters struggle with perfectly legal yet ethically questionable 2008-11-19 17:13:00 Nearly 20 years ago, Eddie Sutton resigned as Kentucky coach after a package sent from assistant Dwane Casey to the father of recruit Chris Mills opened in transit, spilling $1,000 for all to see. Pardon some coaches if they wax nostalgic for the days gone by, when rule breaking was clear-cut and obvious. Like the evolution from Chuck Taylors to Air Jordans, the art of cheating has been refined

Chicago St. Joins Great West 2008-10-24 11:11:00 The Chicago
St. move from the Summit League (then Mid-Con) to independence, was very questionable. Had there been a more enticing league out there that wanted them, then it would make sense...the Horizon for example. But there was no new home and the Great
West is the only option.
The Great West Conference added its seventh all-sports member when Chicago State accepted an invitation,
SEMO fires athletic director, men's hoops coach on leave 2008-10-09 15:10:00 Southeast Missouri State fired athletic

University of the Incarnate Word Division I Rumbings 2008-10-01 17:58:00 He's the mastermind, the unquestioned leader of the school's unprecedented growth in recent years. So when University
of the Incarnate Word president Louis Agnese, awash in pride over his new football team, suggests taking UIW's athletics programs into NCAA Division
I by 2012, it's not a surprise. “We're not that little college at the corner of Broadway and Hildebrand anymore,” he said. UIW
Great West on ESPN.com 2008-09-29 12:34:00 ESPN has an article about the Great
West that's worth a read...
For Division I independents like Texas-Pan American, memorable basketball moments tend to include long bus rides, 40-point shellackings at power-conference arenas and an annual psychological thud when the season ends in February instead of March. That's why head coach Tom Schuberth tries to schedule as many two-day, four-team mini
Fate of CHA Hockey hanging by thread 2008-08-13 12:42:00 When former Minnesota goaltender Brent Solei was tacking on his first career win last January in a 5-1 victory over now-defunct Wayne State, I assumed I was seeing the beginning of the end for College Hockey America. Already grasping an NCAA rule that allows college conferences to retain an automatic NCAA tourney bid without the necessary field of six teams, the CHA was dealt an apparent death
Rutgers Football Financial Woes 2008-08-08 11:20:00 The NY Times had an interesting article about Rutgers
football and the costs surrounding it. As a UMass alum, it brought back some Title IX nightmares from the past when the university had to cut some very successful sports. It's worth the read.
Ever since Rutgers, New Jersey’s largest state university, began its campaign several years ago to become a big-time football power, bad things have
