by Kent Sterling The sound you just heard was anything within arm’s reach being thrown against the walls of every building in Columbus, Ohio. Johnny Manziel will sit for the first half of the Texas A&M vs. Rice as the punishment for whatever the NCAA’s findings are in their investigation into whether Manziel was compensated […]
by Kent Sterling If I recall correctly from my extended stay as a student on Bloomington Campus of Indiana University, the powers that be do not condone cheating. The only class in which I took such liberties was Geology, and that was only because it was a rite of passage at the time. Click here […]
by Kent Sterling There is nothing morally wrong with lying to avoid the consequence of breaking a bad rule.
