Given his multiple run-ins with the law and current suspension, it’s not surprising to hear rumors that Marcus Vick will transfer. In this article, Georgia Southern’s coach says he knows nothing about it. It’s probably just an unfounded rumor, but really, it wouldn’t be surprising. I’m sure he thinks he has the talent to get…

The SportsProf has a very nice article up on what he calls the interesting tale of Willie Williams. He makes a lot of great points. I completely agree that this is a risk that a university shouldn’t be taking. Football is important, but it’s not that important. It’s not fair to the other students in…

This is yet another warm and fuzzy story about NCAA recruiting. Apparently, there is a little loophole in the NCAA eligibility rules that sometimes makes it advantageous for recruits to fail out of school in their senior year. They then reenroll at some prep school, get their grades up and voila, they’re eligible! Here’s a…

I missed this from a few weeks ago. Gregg Doyel puts forth a decent argument that NC State could be #1 in the ACC this next year and possibly some years after. They definitely have a chance, but the conference will be very competitive. There may well be four or five teams separated by just…

You might want to sit down for this one (as if you’re standing at your computer). Miami, that paragon of prudence, that citadel of civility, has decided to admit Willie Williams despite his rather lengthy rap sheet and current probation. Did I mention that Williams was rated as the top high school linebacker in the…

It’s possible that a fifth year of eligibility for football could come as early as next year. A great point brought up in this article that I missed in my earlier writings is that a large percentage of football players already play five years. They redshirt their first year and then play four, many as…

Who knew that there were universities that give full scholarships to wheelchair basketball players? I certainly didn’t. That’s pretty cool, because you know that they aren’t selling tickets to those games. The kid in this article sounds like a pretty good kid. I’ll admit to knowing very little about wheelchair basketball, but I do dig…

I have seen ads for these products before – stuff you can drink to ensure a clean drug test – but I never believed they’d work. I just figured that they were to scam nervous pot heads. According to Ricky Williams, I was wrong. Ricky claims that the reason he failed a test is that…

This is an interesting list of quotes from ACC football quotes from the ACC Kickoff meetings. Check how many coaches make negative comments about expansion. A little late now, boys. The coach that made the strangest comments is Ralph Friedgen. He indirectly (directly?) blamed Myles Brand for losing players to other schools for academic reasons.…

With Ricky Williams’ surprising retirement this week, Page 2 has produced their list of the greatest early retirements. It’s actually a pretty good list, especially for Page 2, which seems to screw these sorts of thing up usually. I didn’t remember that Borg was only 26 when he retired. That’s incredible. He seemed so much…
