Media Spotlight Forces Ohio State’s Gordon Gee to Retire
June 4, 2013

by Kent Sterling Stupid is as stupid does, until it’s reported in the media. It seems the only way anyone is penalized for operating outside acceptable parameters is if the media makes it impossible for any other outcome. Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee will resign July 1st because the university was having difficulty moving […]

Indiana Hoosiers Football Helmets Are Exceptional (video)
June 3, 2013

by Kent Sterling I’m a stickler for uniforms, helmets, and anything else can be a potential embarrassment to a university.  Athletic directors who delve into fashion are a lot like teenage boys picking out a tux for the prom.  Without being cruel, let’s just say that very few guys hold on to their prom pictures. […]

Rutgers Athletics – Would Anyone Care If Julie Hermann Was Hired Anywhere Else?
May 31, 2013

by Kent Sterling Dan Dakich is a great radio host because his genuine curiosity evokes answers that lead to unique opinions.  I spent 90-minutes with Dan today in the 1070 the Fan studio, and he asked me about Rutgers.  The most interesting part of the discussion dealt with journalistic weasels – my term, not Dan’s […]

Julie Hermann vs. Everett Golson – Who’s the Adult Here?
May 29, 2013

by Kent Sterling In this corner – the beleaguered 49 year-old administrator who has yet to work a single day as the athletic director at Rutgers University.  In the other corner – a 20 year-old quarterback who has been suspended as a student for the fall term from Notre Dame because of academic misconduct.  One […]

Rutgers University Does It Again – President Barchi’s Run of Ineptitude Continues
May 28, 2013

by Kent Sterling Julie Hermann is accused of calling her University of Tennessee volleyball players “whores, alcoholics, and learning disabled,” before she resigned as coach 16 years ago.  People aren’t perfect, but at a place trying to emerge from scandals, the behavior she displayed should DQ her as a candidate for an AD job at […]

College Football Playoff – Indianapolis Should Get 2016 Championship Game
April 25, 2013

by Kent Sterling My favorite part of the new College Football Playoff is that the official name for it is the College Football Playoff.  No one got all Jim Delany clever, as the Big Ten commissioner did with the soon-to-be-abandoned names of its two divisions – Leaders and Legends.  Just say what it is, and […]

College Football Corruption – Don’t Blame the Coaches Like Gene Chizik
April 23, 2013

by Kent Sterling Former Auburn football coach Gene Chizik is busying himself this week by defending his brief and erratic reign against a report by Selena Roberts that quoted former players as saying that players were paid, grades were fixed, recruits were excessively entertained, and that a significant number of players tested positive for synthetic […]

Auburn Football Is in Trouble, But It Shouldn’t Be
April 23, 2013

by Kent Sterling The buzzards are circling at Auburn University.  Selena Roberts authored a report with quotes from former players who allege grade altering, cover-ups of dirty drug tests, payments to top players, and spending on recruits during official visits that exceeds NCAA rules.  The school and former coach deny everything. Of course they do, […]
