CBSSports puts out an interesting ranking of the collegiate athletic programs each year. They weight football and men’s basketball the heaviest, then women’s basketball and the best performance from two wild card sports results. That’s pretty fair given the importance of football and basketball. I’d probably weigh baseball a bit more, but overall this is …

You haters really need to get a life when it comes to critiquing Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant took a lot of flack for going to Golden State with the old, “You couldn’t beat LeBron James at Oklahoma City so you had to go to the Golden State Warriors to get your ring.” That take is …

It wasn’t too long ago that it was hard to appreciate any college football conference not named the SEC, since most major media outlets treated the SEC as royalty.

Good morning, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. We rarely talk about college sports networks outside of the ACC, but there’s been some pretty brutal assessments on the Pac-12 Network over at @AwfulAnnouncing that caught my eye: It’s no secret that the Pac-12 conference does not boast the same television revenue as the Big Ten …
