When Two Boys Made the Midwest Proud (Magic & Bird)
When Two Boys Made the Midwest Proud (Magic & Bird) I put in a DVD the other day and watched that 1979 NCAA championship game — Michigan State vs. Indiana State, Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird, still one of the most-watched games ever, college or pro. I knew how it would turn out. Michigan State,…

College football coaches on the hot seat
College football coaches on the hot seat This week’s question: Outside of Notre Dame’s Charlie Weis, which coach do you think will be feeling the most pressure this fall? Olin Buchanan’s answer: This might not seem fair – actually, it isn’t – but Texas A&M’s Mike Sherman could be on the hot seat even though…

Spring practice breakdown of C-USA
Spring practice breakdown of C-USA League teams went 4-2 in bowl games in 2008, giving the conference a nice springboard into the offseason. But this offseason is important for some of the teams that won their bowls, most notably Rice and Tulsa. Both won with powerful offenses last season, and both are looking for new…

In Tournaments, N.C.A.A. Shines at Its Athletes’ Expense
In Tournaments, N.C.A.A. Shines at Its Athletes’ Expense For the last three weeks, the nation has once again watched outstanding men’s and women’s Division I college basketball tournaments. The tournaments, like the season itself, represent the essence, as the N.C.A.A. likes to say, of amateurism: playing not for money, but for the love of the…

Clemson Assistants To Be Paid $1.8 Million; Thankfully, Not Each
Clemson Assistants To Be Paid $1.8 Million; Thankfully, Not Each There is, apparently, no recession in college football. Or, if there is, it has bypassed the South Carolina uplands. Now that Dabo Swinney (right) has had his training wheels taken off, it’s time for the rest of the staff to get paid accordingly. And oh…

Spending spree in the SEC is just beginning
Spending spree in the SEC is just beginning Two distinctly different stories broke on Monday that are more connected than you think. “Kentucky could make John Calipari nation’s highest-paid college basketball coach.” “Alabama approves $6.5 million for football coaching staff.” So what does Kentucky paying $31.65million over eight years to Calipari have to do with…

Hogs could be surprise team in ’09 with Mallett at QB, more mailbag
Hogs could be surprise team in ’09 with Mallett at QB, more mailbag Predicting the “surprise” teams heading into a season has become almost as common as guessing the national champion. Wake Forest surprised in 2006. The previous season, the Demon Deacons went just 4-7, but they rebounded to post an 11-2 record and win…

If guilty, Kennedy’s fate up to UM administration
If guilty, Kennedy’s fate up to UM administration OXFORD — It’s been more than three months since Ole Miss basketball coach Andy Kennedy was arrested in Cincinnati during the early hours of Dec. 18, and slowly the explosive accusations of Kennedy being drunk, punching cab driver Mohamed Jiddou and hurling racial slurs have faded into…

Hoping to take the Pac-10 national
Hoping to take the Pac-10 national As a former Harvard tennis star and current chief executive of the Women’s Tennis Association, Larry Scott does not have the traditional background to head a major college athletic conference. That, he believes, is exactly why the Pac-10 conference chose him to be its next commissioner. The 44-year-old Mr.…

The Power of Carolina Blue
The Power of Carolina Blue Ask a fan to name the moment when North Carolina became the favorite to win the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and he’ll probably point to the day coach Roy Williams was hired or the day Tyler Hansbrough committed to play in Chapel Hill. It could be, though, that the real…
