The suggestion makes sense on its face. What better deterrent against cheating than hitting schools […]

Perhaps Ohio State should have followed in the foot steps of Miami.

To any college coach who’s even thinking about recruiting in the Midwest, be warned: There’s a new sheriff in town. His name is Urban Meyer, and he’s coming to your cit-ay… and likely leaving with your highly-sought after five-star football recruit.

This is the time of the year that I dread the most, the realization that it’s finally all over.
