They are an embarrassment to the academic institution of Baylor University. Now, Baylor is no novice to disturbing scandals within it’s athletic …

As we all know, this week has been a rough one for ESPN on-air talent. A lot of the people who we saw, get laid-off in real time via Twitter (which was weird watching people announce they had been let go) and the reaction from people got me to thinking. What do we want from …

You probably know by now that ESPN absolutely gutted it’s journalistic talent base Wednesday. @awfulannouncing has a complete list of everyone let go. There are too many names to give our thoughts on all the people that were laid off. I’ll talk about about a few in detail in a moment. I understand it’s a business for ESPN. My …

Happy Easter, everyone!! The mark of an excellent athletic director or coach is that he starts to develop a web of hires around the country. You always see, for example, the Coach K coaching tree (look at Steve Wojciechowski at Marquette or Chris Collins at Northwestern). Virginia Tech’s Whit Babcock now appears to have that …
