FIRE THEM! ALL OF THEM!
by TexCane EDITORIAL “If you continue to do the same thing, you should expect to get the same results.” There are few college football fans that don’t agree the game we love is in trouble. It’s been that way for years. NO, decades! Why? It starts with leadership. The NCAA leadership has been disgraceful for a long time. They have failed to address problems, sticking the heads in the sand, putting self interests and money ahead of our student-athletes. They are now asking th

SEC & B1G oppose “Protect College Sports Act"
The SEC and Big Ten conferences released a joint statement on Tuesday in opposition to the Protect College Sports Act proposed in the U.S Congress. The bill would provide the NCAA with an antitrust exemption to enforce several rules that have been recently challenged in court. The act recently received the endorsement of the ACC and Big-12 conferences.

DIVORCE… Controlling a Paradigm Shift?
The SEC is threatening to breakaway from the NCAA if they don’t get their way. Remember, the SEC and BigTen are the only conferences that have a say on the 12-16-24 team playoff question. Such a divorce would ignite a paradigm shift in college athletics. Meanwhile, the other partners, the Big-12 and the ACC are left behind to survive. But what if… the ACC and the BIG12 strike first? Lead the breakup? Would that be possible? Would they ignite and thus control a generational p
