Opinion: Meyer and Ohio State a Perfect Fit
In January 2001, Jim Tressel was the man called upon to clean up Ohio State's image. It was tattered and badly in need of repair after mediocre performances ravaged the program on and off the field. Though Tressel's slightly-out-of-left-field hire wasn't immediately coined a home run by the...
BCS Programs Making Coaching Moves While Boston College Stands Still
Brian: It has been a big, big year for the college football coaching carousel. To date, a total of 24 Division I-A programs will be breaking in new coaches in 2012, including 11 from BCS AQ conferences. Within the conference, North Carolina just hired Southern Miss's Larry Fedora to replace the...
There Will Be No NCAA Hammer To Fall On Ohio State
Despite the NCAA posturing, despite the ongoing investigations and all the fun new revelations of alleged misconduct, despite it all.... Ohio State will escape the Tressel fiasco without major damage. ESPN is reporting that the NCAA has informed Ohio State that they found no evidence that Ohio...
NCAA rules: Ohio State Coming Into Focus, Tennessee's Not So Much
There is good news for the Ohio St. Buckeyes, and good news, I think, for all NCAA institutions. In what I believe to be a clear example of finally "getting it," the NCAA has apparently decided that the Lack of Institution Control and Failure to Monitor charges against OSU are not...
NCAA Basketball: Tennessee Self-Imposes Penalties, But Not Enough
First of all, I know that Kentucky and Tennessee are rivals in the SEC, rather more technically these days than actually, at least when it comes to football. The basketball rivalry, however, is still alive and well, although the question of whether or not Cuonzo Martin can sustain it at its...
Tonight the NCAA Settles All Its Family Business - LSU Football the Latest to Get Whacked by NCAA Sanctions
I'm starting to get the feeling that the NCAA compliance and investigatory departments have been watching a little too much of the Godfather. Less than a week after the NCAA stripped Georgia Tech of its 2009 ACC championship for "what amounted to $312" the NCAA's hitmen perforated LSU as it stopped...
Ohio State Forfeits 2010 Football Season - Why That's Just the Start of OSU's Pain
2010 was, on the field, a banner year for the Ohio State Buckeyes. OSU won 12 games and lost one en route to a Sugar Bowl win over Arkansas. Of their twelve wins, only their games against Iowa (3 points) and Arkansas (5 points) came by way of single digits. Their only loss was to a Wisconsin team...
Ohio State's Handling Of Jim Tressel Is An Epic Fail
I've been meaning to comment on this. I think Ohio State did a good job in their response to the NCAA, and they are right to point out, as they do at considerable length, that the violations in question were unknown and unknowable to the university and its compliance staff due to Tressel's...

Maize n Brew gives you your daily (or semidaily) rundown of all the Michigan Football, Michigan Basketball, College Football, and College Basketball news you need to get through the tedium of your boring desk job. For good measure we'll throw in a little irreverent information, comedy and...
The Luckiest, Happiest, and Most Under Estimated Man In College Football
Talk about being born under a blessed star. When Brady Hoke was announced as the University of Michigan's 19th Head Football Coach on January 11, 2011, it would've taken a bulldozer to pry the smile off his face. Actually, strike that, I'm not so sure that thermonuclear weapons would've even made...
