NCAA baseball is not affected because there is no money in it. "Follow the money."

The NCAA is in business. The product they sell is March Madness. They are in partnership with the Membership Schools who create the opportunity for the Tourney to exist by buying the best young players in the world. The Tourney money is then split between the NCAA and the Schools, leaving the...

By all means lets treat athletes the way we treat grad students -- this means they can get paid for promoting products, make money selling branded products with images from their likeness, have no restrictions on travel and food gifts, are free to get tutoring (ie, workouts) with whatever...

Killings was here for two years.

As a fat, balding, past middle age old fart who never could play worth a damm, but as someone who has interviewed a number of pro coaches in many sports, I am here to tell you they are none of them perfect. They make all kinds of game time mistakes that often get overlooked because, "hey, he's...

Sanogo, Whaley, Martin, Adams/Gaffney (pick your poison), Cole. We win.

Don't understand the consensus that Cole will start over Gaffney. Cole is undersized and his stats at Howard will not translate in a high major conference (think Tarin Smith). Last year showed that Hurley really likes Gaffney's game (more than I do, anyhow) and after a year of conditioning I...

All it takes is one organization, say Miami or Boston, with a very late first round pick who looks at Bouk and see's his potential, and believes they can develop him to achieve that potential, and he's gone. Especially after seeing what happened to Akok.

We loose these games at crunch time because our senior guards throw the ball around recklessly and we don't have a "go to" scorer who can get a bucket at the end of a game. I was hoping Bouknight was gonna be that guy, but he's a little lost right now, and we don't have any one else to fill that...

Tough to loose Polley Time for Bouknight to step up and Sid to catch fire

Bouk

The rebounding was even: (offensive+defensive) 10+27 for Uconn, 11+23 for Indiana. It was the turnovers and shooting that cost us, nothing else.

It's absolutely shocking that a senior is playing so much better than he was as a freshman or sophomore. I doubt I've ever seen that kind of improvement before; except maybe all the time, like with Hilton Armstrong or Kentan Facey or Niels Giffey or ( add your choice here) ...

Tin Cup is a movie about a golfer who has a problem playing it safe and always "goes for it." Made by the same writer/director who did "White Men Can't Jump" and "Bull Durham." It's a funny movie.

Just remember that Tin Cup lost. And nothing is more fun than winning.
