NCAA taking another look at North Carolina. Guess North Carolina A&T better hide the silverware.

Right now, you could probably pay someone in front of Emmert and nothing would change.They're a little busy.

That 30 for 30, The Two Escobars, made Pedro out to be a halfway decent fellow. He did a lot of good things AND sold drugs. But he killed people, so that's a strike against him. However, he may have redistributed his wealth better than the NCAA does.

At least he paid the people who worked for him.

This reminds me to post something I've been mulling for a while now, which is pondering whether there will be any Title IX implications once football and basketball players are finally and fully considered to be employees. Title IX applies to "any education program or activity." If football programs are employers and not educators, would they be exempt from Title IX? And how many women's crew slots would be cut in the first year following that ruling?

It does seem like you ought not to have it both ways: either football programs are employers which should be accountable to the appropriate employment laws, OR they are education programs which are subject to Title IX.

I would advise everyone to make the most out of today that they can. Dark days are upon us, for tomorrow marks the day Rutgers joins/ruins the Big Ten Conference.

I dislike the fact we play OSU, MSU, PSU, and UM less, but I'm not gonna complain that Iowa will get a substantially bigger check from the BTN.

Well, midnight came and passed. There was no major scandal nor rescinding of the invitation by the Big Ten. Maryland and Rutgers are now in the Big Ten. :(

Very good question. And as with most things in our society, it'll probably be resolved eventually in a court room.

Yet another respected institution in this nation goes into decline. The Big Ten will never be the same.

There's still a Big Ten team in that cesspool of a state known as Iowa. If they can occasionally succeed anyone can.

That's the spirit!! Money before competition. You've embraced the modern NCAA.

I have zero impact on the addition of Rutgers and Maryland, and while I didn't feel a need to have them in the conference, they are. So I can embrace the positive aspect for the school I cheer for or I can cry and whine about how it's such a travesty. I'll stick to the former.

What a great season opener on Wednesday the 27th!

We get treated to the powerhouse matchup of D1 transition Albilene Chrsitian vs now fully D1 Georgia State on ESPNU.

Hey, it's an SEC matchup, at least based on how often both teams will probably play SEC teams.
