NCAA issues one-time waiver exempting postseason participation from counting toward eligibility, per reports

This seems like it will be needed now that so many players opt out of bowl games. I can’t see why they wouldn’t make it permanent.

James Robinson

Just watched Delaware at Princeton because there wasn’t much else interesting on TV tonight and I noticed James on the Delaware bench as an assistant coach. I’m sure it has been mentioned here before, but I guess I didn’t know that. They seem like they will be one of the stronger CAA teams led by Jameer Nelson Jr.

Also, it should be mentioned that Associate HC Tray Woodall and Fordham are off to one of their better starts in recent memory at 11-1.

SMF idea to promote NCAA women's soccer

After watching some of the NCAA volleyball tournament and the big crowds they get, it made me think, is the NCAA thinking too small for women's soccer? This is the best women's soccer country on the planet. There is a giant subculture of women's soccer players and families. Why do they play their season opposite college football and the NFL? Well, I know the answer: because they always have.

So here's my idea of the day:

Move the women's soccer season to the spring when most games are played after college basketball ends and work with some network like ESPN or FS1 to market the heck out of the sport. Like a College GameDay type show, Wrap-up shows, SportsCenter highlights, etc. To an extent, they do this with women's college basketball but nobody cares because its opposite men's basketball. In the spring, its just MLB and NBA Playoffs and no mainstream college sports.

NCAA Women's soccer is what, the 4th or so best women's soccer league in the world? Maybe if they move the men's game to August-May they can move the women's game to like March-July with the College Cup being played right after the College World Series. Maybe even a World Cup style 32 team Group stage or something like that.

tOSU outbid for 5 star recruit

tOSU just doesn't take football seriously.

Congratulations to Pitt's Volleyball team.

They lost a tough 5 set match to a great Louisville team last night in the final four. Back to back final fours.

They are good athletes. Well coached and play hard. I've never been a volleyball fan but these girls are making me one.

Did I mention that they are well spoken. Intelligent and actual students?
Disappointed they didn't make the Championship game but proud of their accomplishments.
