by Kent Sterling Devin Davis – gone for pot possession. Hanner Mosquera-Perea – gone for whatever the hell he was doing when Davis got popped. Isaac Griffith – arrested for DUI just over a year after he nearly drowned while swimming in the Gulf of Mexico after drinking. Davis and Mosquera-Perea are now former basketball […]
by Kent Sterling Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany was either being very silly or very funny as he proposed the re-enactment of freshmen ineligibility for men’s basketball and football players. College basketball and football at the major conference level aren’t simply minor league developmental portals for the NBA and NFL; they are revenue generators and […]
by Kent Sterling For people under the age of 40 – if an event is not on live TV, it doesn’t exist. That’s a lot of people for whom the Indianapolis 500 is a vaporous idea that exists only in the imagination because it’s the victim of a self-imposed local live TV blackout. Live TV […]
by Kent Sterling Tonight, Indianapolis native David Letterman will host his final show before settling easily into a well-earned retirement, but his legacy will linger in the behavior of radio hosts everywhere.

How long could that be expected to continue? Somebody was going to get hurt or killed, and until somebody figures […]

by Kent Sterling It’s about time. Screws have been loose in Bloomington for a long time on Indiana University’s men’s basketball team, and finally – at long last – efforts were made yesterday to tighten them. Junior Devin Davis and senior Hanner Mosquera-Perea were dismissed from the team for an embarrassing aggregation of offenses. The […]

For the last two days, I spent a considerable amount of time talking on the radio (3p-6p on CBS Sports 1430) about IU basketball player Devin Davis being cited for weed possession. Then I start reading about the University of […]
