ESPN’s Mitch Sherman on the possibility of an early signing period in football: Susan Peal, NCAA associate director of operations, said the continued acceleration of recruiting has led the Conference Commissioners Association to consider an earlier date to supplement the long-existing date in February, similar to the structure for basketball and other sports. “I think […]
(Disclosure: I previously worked with a company owned by Mark Cuban on this project.) Mark Cuban made two big mistakes. In his comments about college basketball, the NCAA, the one-and-done NBA age limit, and the NBA D-League, Cuban misspoke once: “I think what will end up happening — this is my opinion, not that of […]
Gary Parrish of CBS Sports on Wednesday: But tradition is never a good reason to continue doing something that shouldn’t be done, and court-storming is something that shouldn’t be done.

Concussions are one of two major questions facing the NCAA, perhaps an even larger threat than the arguments for employment, unionization, and professionalization of college athletes.

Now that football’s initial signing day is over, the annual rhythm of the college football season turns to sorting out the rosters for 2014 that coaches have lined up. For some programs, that will be more difficult than others. Roll Bama Roll predicted that Alabama would be over by 10 scholarships. Tennessee wrapped up a […]
The initial signing day for football is almost upon us which means a time honored tradition is back: questioning why fax machines still play a part.
