In another indication that the NCAA over indulges in bowl revenue capacity, the Nebraska Cornhuskers can’t give away Holiday Bowl tickets. As a Holiday Bowl participant, Nebraska is required to sell or purchase 11,000 tickets per their allotment agreement. As of today, only 7,500 have been sold. This means Nebraska is on the hook for $210,000.00. Well it doesn’t take one with a business and marketing degree to see why Nebraska can’t sell their share of tickets. Here is...
Pearland High’s 28-24 upset win over No. 5 Euless Trinity came down to a perfectly executed “Dead Man” trick play for the Texas Class 5A Division I State Championship. Congratulations!
The Beef O’Brady Bowl featuring Louisville and Southern Mississippi just got a little more interesting. Yesterday, during the informal Beach Bash dance competition at the Tradewinds Island Resort, a huge brawl almost ensued between the two teams. During a friendly poolside dance-off, a Louisville player, who was presumably a better break dancer than any of the Golden Eagles, started poking fun at Southern Mississippi, their horrible dancing, and the fact that they play in the inferior Conference USA. Of...
If you happened to watch the trifecta of boring college football bowl games yesterday, thankfully there was one highlight that made it all worth it. During the New Orleans bowl, Troy put on a 48-21 clinic over Ohio scoring on their first 5 possessions. It wasn’t until late in the game that Troy was forced to punt. Troy provided a Christmas treat for all the remaining fans by calling in the punting unit. Troy punter Will Goggans showed-off his...
Boise State freshman receiver Anthony Clarke is one of three college football players who have been charged with various misdemeanors and felony counts of committing a sexual crime, battery, and false imprisonment for incidents that took place last year while students at Blackfoot High School. Clarke, a standout high school athlete who moved on to the collegiate level, and his teammates apparently took high school hazing to new limits and criminal charges were finally filed. Underclassmen reported Clarke and...
Some disturbing news is coming out of the University of Memphis. Redshirt sophomore and starting quarterback, not to mention the son of the FedEx founder, Cannon Smith was arrested on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct earlier today. After completing his final exams, Smith decided to do what every college student does, drink to oblivion. After his all night bender, Smith did the responsible thing and decided to take a cab home because he was too drunk to...
A picture is worth a thousand words, and in Arkansas’ case they better start talking before the NCAA gets involved. Apparently, the above snap-shot of 10 football recruits, which on its face looks harmless, is a potential NCAA recruiting violation. Per the NCAA rules, a program cannot create a “false game day environment.” Now the question remains, is handing out jerseys and placing name plates on lockers considered a game day environment? The NCAA is obviously the judge and...
