This is an interesting list of how much football revenue each ACC school (including Miami and Virginia Tech last year. The four unabashed football schools are the top four earners, with Clemson at the top. Some of the relative rankings are curious, like UNC earning over $5m per year more than State. I believe their…

Wake Forest guards Justin Gray and Chris Paul and North Carolina forward Sean May led the US U-21 team to the gold medal at the World Championship for Young Men Qualifying Tournament of the Americas (catchy title). Paul and Gray were the starting guards and May led the team in scoring. By all accounts, Paul…

This is a fairly benign little article about Lou Holtz the state of the South Carolina football team. But then, the author, Michal Lough drops in this doozy: If South Carolina wasn’t yanked out of the ACC by the brilliant-in-his-own-mind Paul Dietzel almost 40 years ago, the Gamecocks would be at Florida State’s level in…

Caulton Tudor has an article up where me makes the argument that the parity of the new ACC football will hurt it. First, he says that too many good teams will make it difficult for the second place team to have enough wins to get an at-large BCS spot. Then, he also complains about the…

I guess this doesn’t really qualify as news, but here goes – Allen Iverson still doesn’t get it. He has no concept of personal responsibility or how to behave on a team. It’s funny, I read several articles about how this Olympic team would be better than the World Championship team that got embarrassed last…

Yoni over at College Basketball wrote a little blurb a while back about the new contract that Coach Jimmy Collins got from Illinois-Chicago. There’s nothing too exciting about what Yoni wrote or the article he linked to. A good small-school coach got an extension. To me though, it brought back an old memory.

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…
