by Kent Sterling The NCAA was a miscast target of one of the greatest collegiate athletes of all time. Hall of famer Jim Brown correctly feels that college football and men’s basketball players are exploited, but hanging responsibility on the Indianapolis based organization that oversees college athletics misses the mark. NCAA president Mark Emmert and […]
by Kent Sterling The NCAA screwing things up has become so routine that I don’t bother writing about it much anymore. A full year rip for Michigan’s Mitch McGary testing positive a first time for marijuana, especially when he was physically unable to compete, is insane. A rule change that will go into effect on […]
by Kent Sterling Being arrested for illegal consumption and possession of a fake ID while in college is almost a rite of passage, and Indiana basketball players Yogi Ferrell and Stanford Robinson became members of that club at Kilroy’s Sports Bar early thing morning, according to a release from the Indiana State Excise Police. Getting […]
by Kent Sterling Kenny Johnson decided to chase cash 90 minutes south of Bloomington at the University of Louisville, and the pipeline to solid east coast recruits likely went with him.

Proactive leaders pick apart their own dogma, rules, and strategies to make adjustments that enact improvements prior to external critique. Reactive leaders put out fires, take public temperatures with polls, and adjust based upon which way the wind blows. Some towns and […]
Indiana Basketball – New video of Stephen Zimmerman should have Hoosier fans excited
by Kent Sterling There are enough parallels between 2015 big man Stephen Zimmerman and Indiana change agent Cody Zeller that IU fans should be excited about the possibility of the #4 ranked player in the 2015 high school class accepting Tom Crean’s offer. Zimmerman looked very athletic and polished for a junior-to-be seven-footer last summer […]
by Kent Sterling Gary Harris is leaving Michigan State after his sophomore year to enter the NBA Draft. The choice wasn’t easy, according to the statement released by Michigan State. “This was not an easy decision,” Harris said. “There hasn’t been a single day where I regretted my decision to return for my sophomore season.

by Kent Sterling It’s time for the big money schools to declare independence from the NCAA. Schools not in the big five conferences (Big Ten, ACC, SEC, Pac 12, and Big 12) are served very well through their membership to the NCAA.
