    Television Ban

    Keeping up with the OSU saga the past few weeks has been interesting. I've been reading a lot of different stuff...lots of different angles...and posting some items on HN and enjoying the different points of view. One article this week mentioned a possibility that has me thinking: banning...

    NCAA Sanctions: A whirlwind history lesson

    I don't think OSU is happy with those kinds of returns either. BUT, when you look at the fact that Alabama has been on probation for half of the last 17 seasons with scholarship reductions and bowl bans in place for roughly 1/3 of the last 17 seasons the "success" on the field is pretty...

    Come on, BTN

    It's 9 a.m. and the Tressel story is several hours old. There isn't an update on the BTN website or any kind of break-in coverage on the TV. ESPN is covering it, not to mention ESPN2 with Mike and Mike mulling it over. For the money the BTN is milking from cable companies, and...
