Marvin Austin Suspended Indefinitely; UNC Spin Machine Continues
Hilarious. This is the first mention of “traffic” incidents from a UNC source. These incidents were first discovered on the message boards at Packpride. Not only did Marvin have multiple traffic violations to clear up, he was also past due on taxes for what appeared to be two separate vehicles. It is mighty convenient that […]
UNC sport symposium: “Thou Shalt Not Tweet: Athletes’ Social Networking Legal Rights vs. Institutional Control.â€
My jaw dropped yesterday when I discovered that UNC associate athletic director of communications Steve Kirschner participated in a UNC sport symposium in April 2010 that had a segment of discussion titled: Thou Shalt Not Tweet: Athletes’ Social Networking Legal Rights vs. Institutional Control. Wow. Monitoring social networking sites has become an enormous issue for […]
USC beat writer: Bottom line is, I’m pretty ill of the Weslye-is-a-victim stuff.
This is a great read from Travis Haney. Go here for the full blog entry. It will be very interesting to see if Barry can resist responding. The perception will always be he did something wrong, yes. Because he did something(s) wrong. Outside of the NCAA stuff, he lied to his coach (more than once) […]
Singletary: There’s a lot on Balmer’s plate
“It’s on Kentwan,” Singletary told Brian Murphy on KNBR radio this morning. “As far as I’m concerned, we’ve got to continue to practice and do what we have to do, and Kentwan’s got to make up his mind in terms of how he’s going to handle some of the personal issues that he has to […]

In a 92-minute telephone interview, Wichard repeatedly questioned why the NCAA would be looking into his relationship with Blake. Asked if Blake had ever been a Pro Tect employee, Wichard repeatedly stated that […]
Message Board Reactions on the UNC/NCAA investigation
I have followed message boards of different college programs around the country for almost 15 years(mainly NC State, UNC and Wake Forest). Message boards are often ridiculed by the print/television/radio media, coaches, athletic directors, and even message board posters themselves. While sometimes these forums are criticized for good reasons, in regards to major news stories […]
West Virginia Under Investigation
These accusations are not related to the recent scandal at UNC, however it is certainly newsworthy considering similar allegations were made against Rich Rodriguez at Michigan. Rodriguez left West Virginia for the job at the University of Michigan before the 2008 season and he was the West Virginia coach from 2001-2007. West Virginia University officials […]
Marvin Austin’s participation in off-season workout program being investigated
Link here. Sources told SportsBusiness Journal, a sister publication of Sporting News, that one of the things the NCAA is investigating is who paid for Austin’s training at Thousand Oaks, Calif.-based Proactive Sports Performance, a training facility where all of Wichard’s rookie clients have trained for the NFL draft in the last five years. Austin […]
Agent Fires Back at Saban
Link here. “In terms of him throwing that out there, most agents know what goes on in college programs and what programs are clean or not. You want to find out who has the dirty programs, give immunity and go off the record with agents, and it would be like a cockfight, the last one […]
