UTSA On The Verge Of Conference USA Membership
Conference realignment revolved around the Big 12 in the previous two years so it only makes sense that a university in Texas keeps the intrigue alive. An infant with just one season of college football play completed, the University of Texas at San Antonio will join Conference USA in 2013, pending approval of a Wednesday [...]
TweetBCS Status Quo Is Out; College Football Playoff In
At last, the time for college football fans to move past the Bowl Championship Series and onto a 16-team playoff has arrived. Wait, what? It’s just four teams? Fine, we’ll take it. The FEMA version of a BCS representative, Bill Hancock, confirmed today at the Fort Lauderdale meetings what we all hoped, all expected and [...]
TweetDeLoss Dodds Takes Aim At Big Ten, Pac 12 On College Football Playoff
DeLoss Dodds isn’t one to mince words and he’s had it with the Big Ten and Pac 12. The role the Rose Bowl will play in college football’s changing postseason appears to be a hindrance and one of America’s most powerful athletic directors is sick of the charade. The Texas AD spoke with USA Today [...]
TweetBig 12 Football Coaches in Bobby Petrino’s Situation
As the college football offseason plods on and most of the South waits for word on Bobby Petrino‘s replacement, it begs the question in Big 12 territory; how entrenched is each head coach? Nothing about the scandal in Fayetteville made me believe it would have cost Petrino his job had he not hired her. That [...]
TweetGarrett Gilbert Taking 27 Hours to Graduate from Texas in May
Former University of Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert was faced with an interesting dilemma to finalize his transfer to Southern Methodist University and be able to play immediately this fall for the Mustangs, without having to sit out an entire season before doing so. Gilbert had to complete his degree at the end of a traditional [...]
TweetChris Petersen, His New Contract and the Details Should He Exit Boise
The Idaho Statesman obtained the breakdown of Chris Petersen‘s re-worked contract with Boise State. In a nutshell, he’s still incredibly underpaid but it appears the Broncos are at least attempting to allow themselves some notice should their head coach eventually leave. In terms of salary, Boise’s bargain totals a little over $11.7 million for five [...]
TweetDallas City Council Approves $25.5 Million Cotton Bowl Renovation
The Cotton Bowl Stadium at the Fair Park complex in Dallas, Texas is one of the most legendary venues in college football, if not all of collegiate sports. Home to the Cotton Bowl game– previously a New Year’s Day tradition, but pushed farther back recently thanks to the BCS– the stadium has been in dire [...]
TweetWest Virginia’s Oliver Luck Calling For More Big 12 Expansion
West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck believes the Big 12 should seriously considering expanding. ESPN/ABC and the conference are currently negotiating an extension (for 10 teams) of first-tier television rights with escalators in place. Add some combination of Louisville, BYU and Cincinnati and the annual payouts per school increase. The Big 12 will focus initially [...]
TweetTexas A&M Moving Forward With Renovation or Replacement of Kyle Field
Texas A&M isn’t really in need of anything new considering their conference affiliation changes this summer but the Aggie administration felt what the hell, let’s double down on exit fees and throw some loot at the stadium. According to a release from Texas A&M Athletics, the university hired Populous, a sports facility design firm to [...]
TweetUrban Meyer’s Circle of Trust Has Different Names On Other Campuses
The Sporting News hatchet Matt Hayes used on Urban Meyer and his tenure at Florida made for some questionable, if not amusing, reading. I see no reason to defend Meyer’s tactics (he won 2 national titles, had 30+ players arrested — yin and yang in college football) or Hayes’ sources (one player on the record, [...]
