by Kent Sterling Before I even begin writing, I want you to be aware that everything I embrace in this post represents pie in the sky ideals from a time long past that cannot return. Tom Crean might as well submit a letter of resignation as adopt any of these philosophies. I know they are […]
by Kent Sterling Just two days after rolling out the Indiana University’s athlete’s bill of rights, yet another basketball player’s scholarship will be recovered by the program that stumbled through a 17-15 season, ending minus a postseason tournament appearance. The explanation for Peter Jurkin’s transfer from Indiana University’s basketball team was that he wanted more […]
by Kent Sterling A baseball coach being hired away from Indiana University to Arizona State brings both good news and bad news. Given a choice, people almost always want the bad news delivered first, so here it is – Tracy Smith is packing a bag for Tempe. The great work he has done over the […]
