Add Georgia and potentially the SEC to the list of schools that will oppose some of the key proposals in the NCAA’s first package of deregulation proposals. Unlike the Big Ten’s objections, Georgia’s seem to come from its athletic director Greg McGarity, who saw his coaches eyeing the new rules like sharks before a feeding […]
Texas A&M will have enough issues with Johnny Manziel and handling his eligibility over the next year or more, but luckily they have a tool to keep some of the mania down: online classes. According to Brent Zwerneman of the San Antonio Express-News, Manziel will take all of his classes this semester online and venture […]
The NCAA released a public report on the misconduct during the Miami investigation.

Assuming the ACC splits the SAOF money equally, Maryland would be getting maybe $325,000 to $350,000 total. Even if the iPads were leased at a volume discount, we can […]
Tennessee reported 10 secondary violations over the past six months, and posted 20 including some that had already been reported to their website. It’s the normal grab-bag of accidental tweets here, a little extra benefit there, and a basketball tryout violation which would have been fine if it had occurred in April rather than September. […]
