John Calipari Is Either The Best Or Worst Thing To Happen To College Basketball The top-ranked college basketball team in the nation and the favorite to win the NCAA Tournament is stacked with underclassmen who will most likely be playing in the NBA next season. They are coached by a $4 million man who recruited, then molded these players--many of them mere teenagers--into a great team. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

Hey Teacher (And Employer), Leave Those Facebook Passwords Alone The news is full of stories this week about those in positions of power demanding Facebook passwords. The ACLU announced that it is helping a Minnesota high school student sue Minnewaska Area Schools after school officials forced her to hand over her Facebook password so that they could search her private messages for an alleged conversation with another student about S-E-X. Because the school is a public institution, the ACLU alleges this violated the student's constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches. Meanwhile, MSNBC reports on prospective prison guards in Maryland being forced to hand over their Facebook passwords during job interviews and college athletes who are forced to friend their coaches on the social network. The Maryland Department of Corrections wanted to check applicants' pages for any signs that they're affiliated with a gang, while coaches want to make sure athletes are behaving (and not violating any NCAA rules). null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

Green Bay Packers Fans Are A Refreshing New Super-PAC We are inundated daily with anecdotal evidence that “it’s all about the money.” There seems to be a collective throwing up of hands in surrender, giving up on the notion that people do things for the right reasons, or should I say, people will not do the right thing unless they make money for doing it. In politics, we know the U.S. Supreme Court opened the door to super-sized contributions for political purposes. We throw up our hands and ask whether political action committees have more influence on elections than democratic ideals or the interests of most Americans. In sports, the not-for-profit NCAA and its member institutions is Exhibit A for hypocrisy in the minds of many. In pro sports, team or player loyalty gives way to the common disclaimer: “it’s a business”. So for those of us who are sports idealists, forced by intellectual integrity to be realists, it is important to seize upon evidence to the contrary – that people sometimes choose to actually have non-monetary returns when they spend their own money. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

Top 10 Lessons From Ohio State's Tattoo-Gate Now that the NCAA has imposed its penalties against Ohio State and its former football coach Jim Tressel stemming from players receiving tattoos and other benefits in violation of NCAA rules, it is clear that the Emperor, or other superlatives once lavished on former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel, has no clothes. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

Learning From Women's Soccer - Leveraging the Value of Competition for Success 20 NCAA championships in 28 years. A winning percentage of over 93 percent of the team’s games. 20 National Players of the Year. These are just some of the numbers that describe the success of the University of North Carolina women’s soccer program over onthe past several decades. Head Coach Anson Dorrance’s success is due in part to great players and support staff but also to a style of coaching that maximizes the potential for high-performing, competitive individuals to gel into championship teams. How does he create an atmosphere where players must be competitive in everything they do (in training, in practice, and in the classroom), yet are able to come together so well as a team on the field? Competition and teamwork, this is a powerful but often elusive combination. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. Please see responseStatus: 40
Running the Point: Lessons from the Point Guard Position & the NCAA Tourney As you watch the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament get in full swing this Thursday there are many things to look out for: buzzer beating finishes, upsets, the ups and downs of following your favorite team as well as one team winning and one team’s season ending in a loss.

Football is corrupting America's universities: it needs to go (In which I take on the football-industrial complex again.)
Big-time college football is no longer a sport. It's a very expensive entertainment industry with commercial sponsors, big-money television contracts, and highly paid executives. Its proponents have corrupted the mission of almost every university with a large football program, especially those in the NCAA's top division. It's time to acknowledge that this large, expensive entertainment business should be expelled from campus. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. Please see responseStatus: 40

Video Game Industry Fails to Capitalize on March Madness With CBS and Turner experiencing record TV ratings for the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, the video game industry is sitting on the bench during March Madness and ignoring the Final Four and the massive fan base it attracts annually.
