Well expansion got ahead of my writing and even though the Big Ten did in fact add Nebraska for the 2011 season, it is still up in the air if they are done or not. For now it would appear they are. Maybe just for this year. The next couple years ...Published on: 15th June, 2010
It came as no surprise to anyone that Boise State made a move to the Mountain West. The fans of college football saw it coming. The rest of the WAC saw it coming. The WAC commissioner saw it coming. Commissioner Karl Benson said he figured Boise State would make the move at ...Published on: 14th June, 2010
This is the last season of the Big 12 as we have come to know it. If you have been reading what I have been writing lately, you know I have been talking about potential expansion. Well in the last week, expansion has gone from talk to action. Two teams from the ...Published on: 12th June, 2010

Making strides is hard when you are considered the bottom of the barrel. The Sun Belt conference must be doing a little something right because they doubled their bowl affiliations after last season. Granted, that takes the automatic tie-in to two, but for the Sun Belt, this is good. After last seasons 44-41 double ...Published on: 17th April, 2010
The NCAA set some new rules and it seems that there is quite a bit of confusion, or maybe no research into, at least one. The taunting rule. Yes this will be a judgement call, but no more than holding or pass interference. If a player scores on a play then it ...
