Power keeps college coaches in the dark Lord John Dalberg-Acton could have been referring to college coaches when he wrote: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” The men who steer the big-business football and basketball programs are the giants of college campuses, usually untouchable so long as they win and fill the…

Mike Leach-Texas Tech saga may not end well Unlike Urban Meyer, Mike Leach’s absence will almost certainly last more than one day barring legal action – and maybe much, much longer.

Bizarre Bowl belongs in New Orleans
Bizarre Bowl belongs in New Orleans NEW ORLEANS — Where else would you hold the Bizarre Bowl? In a city that never sleeps. Where men dress up as women. Where women show off their assets to get cheap beads. Where the gastronomic goal seems to be to set your intestines on fire. Where you can…

The Flexible Alternative To A College Football Playoff
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/316451-the-flexible-alternative-to-a-college-football-playoff College Football is the only major sport without a playoff, and that’s part of the allure of the sport. “Every Saturday in the regular season is like a playoff game” is the saying bragged about by avid college football fans.

The real reason Meyer changed his mind I know everybody has a conspiracy theory about Urban Meyer. I bring you the truth. I strongly suspect that the real reason Meyer decided to come back, kinda, anyway, was because of The List. A Honey-Do List.
