How I would save major college football: “Saving” is a relative term of course, but in my opinion there are some wonderful things in college sports that are at great risk of being destroyed if the major conference powers begin a realignment process that results in four “super-conferences” and continued support of the BCS format.  While I am an advocate of free-market enterprise the current trend of polarization among major college teams and conferences could result ...

Over the past few seasons, the University of Cincinnati football team has burst into the national spotlight, winning two consecutive Big East Championships and earning BCS Bowl berths in the process. The success has come almost exclusively from a high-powered offensive attack. That offense is centered around two positions: quarterback and wide receiver.  While Cincinnati has had great quarterbacks the past few seasons, no position has been stronger than wide receiver.  In 2009, led by All-American Mardy Gilyard, ...

The incoming draft class has been rated No. 17 in the nation by Scout.com, and is headlined by the ESPN100 small forward, Roscoe Smith. Some UConn fans are already expressing ...

Continuing in the tradition of previous articles on where Georgia's, Texas' and Florida's top recruits could go, I'd like to take a look at where the Palmetto State's top talent could be headed. Schools have gotten the word that South Carolina's talent is as good as anybody's, making it one of the more interesting ACC/SEC battleground states in the country. Check in quick. Many of these recruits are about to make their first verbals. They grow up ...

There are more decorated programs in college basketball than the Maryland Terrapins. But few, if any, are more colorful. One national title. Two Final Fours. 22 tournament appearances. Len Bias. The birthplace of Midnight Madness. Lefty Driesell and “the UCLA of the East.” Ritualized couch burning. The host court when all-black Texas Western defeated all-white Kentucky back in 1966. A crazy eligibility scandal that set the team back ...
