When the Swedes gave Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, satirist Tom Lehrer said that he could no longer perform. “It was at that moment that satire died,” Lehrer said. “There was nothing more to say after that.”
Where am I going with this?
Well the NCAA has appointed OU athletic director Joe […]
Except when they do.
The naive among us continue to believe that NCAA penalties will prevent college football programs from cheating. The cynical believe that the penalties handed out by the NCAA are nothing more than a slap on the wrist (and an effete one at that). I lean to the cynical side, but I’ve […]
For those of you wondering, the NCAA is not in business to split up dollars from TV contracts, March Madness and bowl games. How do I know? Myles Brand tells me so everytime he is interviewed and because they say so right there on their website.
Our purpose is to govern competition […]
(Apologies to TripsRight for any stepping on of toes I do here.)
The majors performed pretty much as expected. On the high end: The Big East was a last-second OT jump shot away from going a smooth 8-0. At the other end is the Pac-10, which split its six games. The Big 12 came in at […]
We’ve had a trickle of college hoops coverage over the past week or so as the cannon fodder conferences have been playing and concluding their tournaments. But today we have:
Day One of the ACC, Big 10, Big 12, SEC and Southland conference tournaments. If you’re in the Katy area, you can catch the latter. Stephen […]
Kelvin Sampson is a helluva basketball coach. He also just might be the most arrogant coach in a business filled with egos that rivals those of rock stars and politicians. How else can you account for his stupifyingly willfull abuse of an NCAA rule that he has already been penalized for breaking?
Perhaps it can be […]
Because he’s about to lose his current job as head coach at Indiana.
Crazy bastard can’t stop making phone calls to recruits. He was already prohibited by the NCAA from making phone calls for a year because of his “deliberate noncompliance” with NCAA rules while at Oklahoma. And by “deliberate noncompliance” they mean the 577 illegal […]
Since Orgeron got canned at Ole Miss on November 24th, he has had plenty of time to kill. He signed on to be the New Orleans Saints DL coach in late January.
Yeah, I think it is funny
Everyone knows Big Ed loves to recruit. He even replaced his drinking and tail chasing […]
Most college coaches think that with the NCAA each day is ADIH, and that they already have the rulebook FUBAR, so it came as little surprise that the NCAA upheld the ban on
text-messaging to high school recruits at their convention this week. Some coaches felt that the text-messaging ban was SNF because it’s a universal […]
