    There will be a reckoning.....count on it.

    I understand that. In fact, my nephew had to experience the prejudice against student athletes this semester. He is a D-line player at Kent St and Chemical Engineering student who made the Dean's list last semester. I would say he is an excellent student who happens to be 6' 5" 265 and loves...

    There will be a reckoning.....count on it.

    I don't know all of the reasons Bielema went to Arkansas, but I suspect $3.2 million per year had something to do with it. We may have a different opinion of a successful football program. That's OK. In my book, all four of those schools have had success, and I won't hesitate to add Notre...

    Pick your poison: Tressel, Butch Davis or Petrino?

    There is also the recruiting aspect he brings. Keep in mind there are 37 current NFL players from Ohio St, more than Alabama (30) or Florida (31), and only 2 less than LSU (39). The Vols have 28, and most (all?) of them were Fulmer's recruits. Somehting to think about. Tressel has coached 8...
