How would Title IX com into play here?

when the vast majority of universities lose money on athletics one has to wonder where the money would come from?

It was nice of Arizona basketball to be the pilot program for this.

If you turn them into professionals, then should a university be able to pull a scholarship if the player isn’t producing the way the coaches would like? If you can get cut in the NFL, why not the NCAA if they get paid? Making these kids pros is not good for the game in all aspects.

The Stallions have home games:

February 23
March 2
March 16
March 30
April 12

That’s a pretty solid number for a startup spring league. Sounds like they could do quite well.

he really has had a number of kicks between the legs (metaphorically speaking of course). First there was the scheme change to primarily 2 linebackers. Then there was Chase moving to linebacker from his safety spot. Then there was Bernard, and now the dude from Penn St.

I’m surprised he stayed as long as he did. He has always done a good job, he…[Read more]

When we win the Lacrosse Naty it will be cool to say I was there from the beginning!

Don’t blink.
