Here comes college football! There is zero chance Power Five schools will act as one to punt the upcoming college football season. Players want to play, coaches want to coach, and school/conference administrators want money. There is no constituency tethered to college football that would champion a cancellation or suspension of the season, so all that is […]

Nothing screams “The NCAA has it twisted and backwards” like the headline to its announcement on likely changes to its rules governing a student-athlete’s ability to profit for his or her brand value: “The NCAA’s highest governing body has taken unprecedented steps to allow college athletes to be compensated for their name, image and likeness” What […]

Mel Tucker is reportedly leaving Colorado to replace Mark Dantonio as Michigan State’s football coach. That’s good for Tucker, who will earn a significant raise.

Michigan State football coach Mike Dantonio quit yesterday – less than one month after collecting a $4.3-million bonus for staying in East Lansing. I’m sure Dantonio feels like a smart guy with $4.3-million (less taxes) of someone else’s money in his pocket.
