Counting everything, including the table of contents, the index, and extra bits about how to use the book and LSDBi, the NCAA Division I Manual is about 400 pages. The version the NCAA prints on paper is about 320 pages, since some bylaws are left out. But how much of that actually applies to a […]
If the Drake Group, one of a few groups who push for NCAA reform from the academic side, has its way, the federal government could become heavily involved in the regulation of the association. The group is drafting a wide-ranging law which would transform college athletics, possibly more so than even a complete victory by […]
Coastal Carolina’s head men’s golf coach Allen Terrell resigned abruptly in August after NCAA violations were detailed in a report to the NCAA.

Garanzini, president of Loyola University of Chicago, has an editorial in the Chronicle of Higher Education today about the upcoming reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965.

Alabama’s Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was suspended for a violation of team rules according to Alabama head coach Nick Sa ban on Wednesday. But Thursday, multiple outlets including the Tuscaloosa News reported that the violation was one of not just team but NCAA rules.
