Defensive Improvements
SFN Note: Talk about expanded coverage!! You can probably tell that our author team has been very busy by hitting the site with SIX new entries in just over the last 24 hours!! Please support SFN by not ignoring all of the hard work and taking a few extra minutes to read more than just […]
When Can You Cheat and Skate?
Have you been wondering why the cheating scandal at FSU was handled so much differently than the one at UNC is being handled? Why was the NCAA involved in establishing penalties for one school and not the other? Well I have been wondering about this and nothing that I read made any sense. But the […]
Where Do The UNC Investigations Stand?
I started on a status update on the various investigations and penalties at UNC when the rumors began to break about impending decisions on the remaining academic issues. Not wanting to put out an entry that would be so quickly out-of-date, I decided to wait. Then rumors whirled all day about Burney…he’s cleared, he’s not; […]
Potential Football Trends
I usually wait until about the half-way point of the season and start looking for interesting trends for State and in the ACC. But let’s shake things up a little bit and look for things that might (or might not) turn into trends to follow this season. I’m going to start with a few things […]
UNC Scandal: Context and Perspective

But one area where […]
Financing College Athletics – Part 4

Most articles you see on this subject take their information straight from this website with an unstated assumption that this information is uniformly prepared and provides […]
A Different View of Silence
I’m often amused by commentaries that wander along the path of facts, speculation, assumptions, and theories with the goal of reaching an ultimate conclusion. All too often, they get lost somewhere along the way and end up in Oz rather than at a logical conclusion. Caulton Tudor attempted this journey but got lost today as […]
Offering A Helping Hand
I don’t know how, but I missed this little nugget from the NCAA this past January: The Division I Legislative Council voted Wednesday to limit the practice of “over-signing†prospective football student-athletes to National Letters of Intent, a strategy employed by some coaches that had the potential of leaving some recruits without a scholarship. Proposal […]
