State of Florida Could Add “Rooney Rule” for College Sports
State of Florida Could Add “Rooney Rule” for College Sports The Rooney Rule is fundamentally a good idea that draws the lion’s share of the criticism it receives when individual NFL teams only pay lip service to it; if making it law makes enforcement even easier, the Rooney Rule might work better for colleges than…

NCAA’s 68-Team Plans Explained, But No Answers Imminent
NCAA’s 68-Team Plans Explained, But No Answers Imminent It would seem easier to just take these teams and throw them on one seed line. (For example, say all the play-in winners are No. 11 seeds.) I’m not sure what’s gained by complicating it across four seed lines. The upshot to this scenario is that we’d…

Mallett hopes more accuracy means more wins
Mallett hopes more accuracy means more wins He said the shortened stride has helped him become more of an all-around passer and “not just a thrower.” If this transformation continues into the season, Mallett could emerge as a Heisman candidate while making Arkansas a dark-horse contender for the SEC title.

YP – A pretty lame GOP attack on the lack of a 2011 budget before the election
Don’t get me wrong, folks. The fact that the Democrat leadership has decided to forgo budgeting this year to protect their political hides (specifically “blue dog” Democrats in the South) is beyond pathetic. In my mind, it shows just how morally and intellectually bankrupt the current leadership in Washington and the people who vote to…
