What's Next For The NCAA? Loansharking?
The NCAA, the defenders of all that is pure and clean about collegiate athletics has decided to get into the ticket-scalping business. The NCAA has entered into a deal with Ticketmaster to create TicketExchange which competes with online resale sites such as StubHub, Craigslist, eBay and others....
Foetid Sundries
kevwun asked for a thread on the Coach Cal Memphis situation. I'll just put this up as a placeholder until Trips has a chance to opine, though I suspect he's just going to say don't go inside the abattoir. We've talked before about the NCAA. Spencer has a great post up here. Coroners not...
"Athletic Director Garrett, Myles Brand on line 1."
Came across this today at Bruins Nation. The NCAA, apparently looking for economies of scale, has combined the OJ Mayo and Reggie Bush investigations into one giant dragnet trying to get to the bottom of USC's alleged widespread and systematic corruption. I'm sensing a vast cover up and...
The NFL likes the interweb; the NCAA not so much
I found it interesting that on the same day that the Wall Street Journal runs an interview with Roger Goodell where he talks about simulcasting games on the web while they are being broadcast on TV that the NCAA handed out restrictive blogging guidelines. The Wiz breaks down the blogging policy as...
NCAA's Myles Brand Well-Compensated For "Protecting" Student-Athletes
Brand, the man who in a roundabout way brought Bobby Knight to the Big 12 by firing him at Indiana, pulled down a compensation package worth $935,000 as the NCAA President last year. That's more than any President at a Public University makes, but obviously not as much as a lot of College football...
Tuesday Night Dawg Bites

Golden Tate Tells Chad Ochocinco "Suck It, You'll Never Top This" and Other News from Around College Football
Yeah, I know. We're running a little behind on our game recap. It'll be up a little later today. But there are other things to celebrate as well. Opponents' wins and losses. Young men becoming heroes. Now, above all, we at Maize n Brew hold our Michigan heroes in highest esteem. However,...
I Hereby Endorse Michael Adams's Candidacy for the NCAA Presidency
Personally, I think it's more than a bit unseemly to be talking about Myles Brand's replacement so soon after the sad news of his passing, but we live in the era of the 24-hour news cycle and the conversation already is taking place, irrespective of whether we like it. Quinton McDawg is pushing Il...

Sprints Bids Farewell to Myles Brand, a Good Man // 09.17.09
RIP: Myles Brand, NCAA president, 67I might not have always agreed with Brand on some issues -- the fight against Native American mascots went too far -- but his focus on academics is to be applauded. And no one can deny that college football, in particular, thrived while he was at the helm....
