    Plus, nobody except Rutgers alumni are Rutgers fans. If they added Rutgers in order to capture the New York market, that probably didn't succeed.

    New wrestling facility put on hold - Jamie Pollard statement

    And that would address the travel problem too of athletes in all of the non-revenue sports making trips across three time zones from WVU to BYU or UCF to Utah during the middle of the week.

    New wrestling facility put on hold - Jamie Pollard statement

    I'm not so sure about that. As someone who has worked in market research and has seen companies screw up their decision-making over and over, I wouldn't be surprised if the Big 10/SEC/ESPN/Fox are basing their decisions as much on their own feeling of self-importance or "Too big to fail" as on...

    Best Campustown Bars by Decade

    That list brings back a lot of memories. If I remember correctly, Thumbs Up, Granddaddy's and MQ had specials on different nights of the week so you could do the circuit and drink lots of cheap beer - dime draws or dollar pitchers. Where was Mississippi Queen -- was it on the south side of...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Kylie normally gets more minutes than she did tonight. With Clark, Marshall, Martin and Davis all graduating (assuming they don't come back for a 5th year), she'll probably have a much larger role next year. Speaking of former ISU players, Lexi Donarski had a good game tonight for UNC - 23 points.

    ISU players love T.J.

    Curious whether Caleb Grill likes TJ enough to follow him back to ISU. LOL.
