Andre Jackson has some eligibility left.

As a medical center tech-heavy school, they must be hurting badly because of federal cutbacks. Will be interesting to see what the priorities are.

You'd be surprised. I live in a metro region of 1.5m (Buffalo) and in this whole area, there's one place that makes good New York style pizza, and 2 places that make excellent Neapolitan pizza (one of them also makes excellent Detroit pizza). I always go to one of these places for great...

What New Haven kids are we even talking about? What kids out of New Haven went to high major after Earl Kelley? Scott Burrell? Are we really only talking about Tremont Waters here?

Just go pro! Last weekend, I had a conversation with someone on these matters who has some influence in admin and sports at Purdue. He is entirely certain that IF the whole thing went pro they would still draw the viewership and fans needed to sustain it in the midwest (which by default means...

I tend to think the opposite. They are trying to hide the losses from stakeholders. The parents. "We lost $30M on football" doesn't go over well when they are charging each student $1k a year.

You're underestimating the size of budgets by a lot. Even the Ivies have $10m football budgets. A MAC school will have a $25m football budget. I definitely think UConn must be in that $30-$40M range. Goliaths are $100M and above.

Just saw him play in Triple A 2 nights ago.
