It just gets worse and worse for Ohio State. On top of all of their other problems, it has been announced that QB Terrelle Prior is now being investigated by both the NCAA and the Ohio State Compliance Committee for numerous violations concerning cars. For Ohio State to avoid getting hit with harsh penalties from the NCAA, this is what they MUST do, and soon…

Jim Tressel resigned as the Head Coach of the Ohio State Football Program. What are the ramifications of this resignation?
First, a brief history of the events that led up his resignation. Tressel became aware of numerous NCAA violations committed by several of his players. He hid this information from the NCAA, the Ohio State A.D, [...]

The Big East must expand the number of teams in their football conference, and must do it very soon. Their current T.V. contract expires after the 2012 season. In 2012, the Big East will have 9 teams in the conference. That is the smallest number of team in any BCS Conference. The only other Conference that has less than 12 teams is the Big 12-2, with 10. The success of the Big 12-2 is still…

Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel has hired an attorney. Not just an attorney, but the former head of the NCAA Infraction Committee, Gene Marsh. This indicates that Tressel has no plans on voluntarily stepping down as the Ohio State Head Coach.

The absolute stupidity of this move is beyond anyone’s comprehension UNLESS…

Can anyone explain to me what is taking so long for the NCAA to rule on USC’s appeal of the sanctions placed on them? The formal hearing was on 1/22. We are now in April, and no decision has been reached. Has anyone heard why, or have an explanation for this?

I have heard rumors that the delay is because the NCAA is determining what to do[...]

What to do with Jim Tressel. This is the dilemma facing Ohio State. Obviously the man is in big trouble with the NCAA. We know he is gone for 5 games, and still faces the wrath and indignation of the NCAA. That could cost him the rest of the year. It could also cost Ohio State all kinds of sanctions including scholarship reductions, and a possible ban on bowl games.

Now Ohio State must make a decision…

How strange does that sound? Pac 12 North. This is the first year of divisional play for the Pac 12. Oddly enough, the two premier teams of last season find themselves in the same division, and not the one USC is in. An early look.

1. Stanford: This pick will surprise a lot of people, but Stanford gets the nod…

These guys should be called the “Losers” after their bowl performances last year. At any rate, here is how I see it.

1. Nebraska: This team certainly has potential, but lacks consistency. The Huskers return 6 starters on an offense that ran hot and cold last season. The defense did it’s job, holding all but two opponents to 23…

I really should get kudo’s just for keeping a straight face when I refer to the Big 10 Conference’s divisions as “Leaders” and “Legends”. They should be named “Laggers” and “Losers”. We will move on with the Leaders Division.

1. Ohio State: The Buckeyes should have enough to prevail in this division…

Can the Big East possibly be as bad this season as they were last season? In a word, yes. The conference will be hit very hard by graduation, NFL defections, and coaching changes. Still, we have to pick someone, so here goes.

1. Rutgers: Why? Because they have 10 starters returning on offense. This is head coach Schlano’s chance to prove that he…
