Players leaving early for the NFL do not count against the APR number IF they leave the university in good academic standing. If they were not on the proper track when they left, they would count against the number. Tennessee has appx. 16 people on their academic support staff, including one guy jus...

Antonio hitting that shot against Eastern is and always will be my favorite moment in sports. At the age of 14, I had never felt more emotion in my life.

You mean the guy that traveled while inbounding the ball right in front of you?

How are coaches formally evaluated? We out on the streets really talk about wins and losses, but what are some other factors that are important to you in a coach's performance?

Urban actually signed Omar. Sounds pretty crazy since he is two schools removed and Omar left a year early.

It was Dad's weekend at OU and it is very popular. Pretty much every Dad on campus goes to this game. It is always the most attended game. Last year, we had about 9,000 for Dad's weekend. It really has nothing to do with who was played. There was also a tribute for the late Dan Lowe, the former lead...

RUIT, I can see the line of thinking there. I did misunderstand. Nonetheless, I think there are scant potential students whose choices are affected by the quality of ICA. Getting back to your original point, College athletics is really the arm of the university that is supposed to to be self suffici...

O&B, Great points. Think about the University of Miami and UNLV. These are two pretty good academic institutions, but the general public normally thinks of athletic scandals first. I would argue that sports has probably done more harm than good at some places like this. MACMAN, I could see that ...

RUIT, good topic. 33, there have been many studies done on student recruitment. Many of them rank quality of intercollegiate athletics as being the least important thing in the survey, behind intramural sport options and quality of rec center. I will look for some specific studies to quote. There ha...

Actually, he doesn't even need to take the ACT to get into Toledo. The NCAA may have a different take.....

Based on the roster, it looks like Josh has some competition. http://www.columbusdestroyers.com/team/bio.php?id=120 Arena League vet that has played nearly everywhere in the league and has had good success. Hopefully Josh can beat him out. Having worked in the AFL, I can tell you that John Kaleo is...

It was very odd circumstances. I do not know where Solich came from but I do know the incident happened at about 10:00 PM. Pretty early to be that trashed.

i have a feeling those drug charges might get him in a little trouble. I don't think this is a case of sweeping it under the rug. He did have a lengthy meeting with the AD and President McDavis. I don't think it has much to do with Solich being the department's "poster boy" and a little mo...

I have worked in a high school for 12 years and I am always talking up BG. Don't underestimate the positive impression left on kids when they see us on television. This is exactly my point. These kids do get an impression of us when they see us on television. I think the MAC should be helping our h...

A high quality athletic program brings in far more students than you can ever imagine. I think transfer would be the better person to ask, but I seem to recall that BG has seen a definite uprise in applications submitted since the football team gained national recognition. Am I wrong Transfer? Can ...
