Hope everyone liked ma.com thoughts and his prognosticating abilities. Obviously there are a few disagreements between av.com and ma.com, but only time will tell who is correct! Keep watching for more musings from ma.com.
Anyway, The Sports Guy, Bill Simmons made my day today. He wrote in his mailbag column that he is returning to ESPN.com to write his columns and work on something secret. Not only was I happy to see that one of my favorite columnists will be writing more, he actually made me really happy when he replied to my e-mail. Yes, Yes, I actually received an e-mail from the Sports Guy! I know, you all probably think I'm lame for being so excited that I received an e-mail. All I have to say is, You wish you were me! The Sports guy has one big flaw, he is a graduate of Holy Cross...the hated rival of Bucknell University.
Well, I wish I heard about this contest a little earlier...good luck to all those who entered. I'm rooting for Jeanette Cleland to win it all.
Anyway, big news going on in the NCAA world. They are tackling the graduation rates issue once again. Here is a decent article written in the Boston Globe about the issues surrounding the new rules. One thing that kind of pisses me off is that as a whole the news pays more attention to the bad than the good. We all know that graduation rates for atheletes suck, this isn't a new phenomenon. What the world doesn't know because they don't hear about it often is which schools consistently have graduation rates in the 90 percent range or even a 100%. Can it be a school actually graduates all their atheletes? No way! It's got to be a myth. Well, contrary to belief there are universities who participate in Division 1 Athletics and graduate all it's athletes or at least 90% of its atheletes. Check out this linkto see the universities that are graduating there student-atheletes. In the end, we can debate all we want about how the NCAA is going about this problem the wrong way. But, I think we should also congratulate those who do actually graduate.
