    Could this happen during expansion?

    I remember the good old days when college athletics was about who won the game rather than who made the most money.

    Teacher stories

    Many years ago I worked with a guy who had been a high school teacher for a couple years, then quit teaching and started working in industry. He was a good employee and got along with people pretty well, but never talked at all about his private life. One Monday he came to work and said that he...

    2016 NBA Draft

    Draft Express wrote the following about Simmons "Didn't always play with sense of urgency as his team struggled". I think in the old days we just called that "Lazy".

    Common Sense On Mutual Funds - John Bogle Stocks For The Long Run - Jeremy Siegel About that Dave Ramsey 12% return. On Jan 1, 2000 the Dow was around 11,500. If it had returned 12% since then (with a 2% dividend yield) it would currently be over 52,000.

    LeBron rank

    Crazy Wilt stat. He once played an NBA season and sat out only 8 minutes of the whole year. He missed those because he was ejected from the game. Had that not happened he would have played every minute of every game.

    LeBron rank

    I realize most of the comparison is about scoring and winning, but Bill Russell has to be in the discussion somewhere. Won 11 NBA championships in 13 years plus 2 NCAA titles in 3 years plus an Olympic gold medal. Also had one of the greatest game 7's ever in 1962 with 30 points and 40 rebounds...

    PERSONNEL: Jacob Park, young LB notes

    Last year Toledo's starting QB passed 403 times, the back-up 7. The starting QB rushed 26 times for 16 total yards last year. Doesn't look like Campbell is much for alternating QBs or running QBs.

    Art Briles back to Baylor in 2017?

    Briles is probably the fallback option in case they can't get Ditka.

    Do the scholarships for grad transfers have to be counted against the 25 per year or 85 total for football.

    REPORT: Bryce Dejean-Jones has died

    I read somewhere that he had a 3 years contract. Curious whether pro contracts typically have some type of insurance rider that will pay the remaining money to his family in a situation like this.

    What does Simeon Carter have to do to find minutes?

    Troubling to read that Prohm said he had to work harder in the classroom. I know his academics were not the greatest to start with since he couldn't get admitted to SMU. Difficult for the staff to plan for a lot of playing time if academic eligibility could be a problem.

    University of Nevada-Reno a possible destination for Hallice Cooke

    Play for Otz? I'm guessing that most 21 year old guys would rather spend the next 2 years in Reno, Nevada rather than Brookings, South Dakota.
