I had an opportunity to call in to the popular current affairs show on NPR called Radio Times regarding the NFL's new rules on concussions. My comments asked the guests to broaden the issue to include more than just football--that athletes in ice hockey, soccer and lacrosse are also incurring concussions at an alarming rate. Take a listen!

Here's a draft of the letter I sent to USA Today regarding their position on creating a true college football playoff: I recently completed my dissertation on "The Launch of the Big Ten Network". My findings agree with your analysis--it is time for change. Athletics departments at the NCAA Division I level are strongly encouraged to be self sufficient. Bowl game revenues and television monies go

The Chronicle of Higher Education recently tried to answer this question. By interviewing college administrators and students, this video attempts to explain why tuition and fees have risen so fast in the past 10 years.

Most of you have been following the 'revelations" from the Detroit Free Press regarding Michigan football's alleged violation of the NCAA rules. Specifically, 6 players claim that second year head coach Rich Rodriguez grossly over worked his players by exceeding the maximum daily and weekly practice hours. Some claim that they were told to come in and workout on off days, Sundays after game days

Time for change on NCAA head coaches who break the rules...

2009-06-13T12:04:00.000-04:00

It is getting obvious that head coaches, particularly in men's basketball, are jumping ship and moving on to another program before the NCAA gets wind of potential major violations in their previous programs. While some may say--"good for them", I would argue that a coach who leaves behind an entire athletics program in shambles should NOT be rewarded with a multimillion dollar contract at his

Recently, I've set up a google web search that allows me to daily collect the news articles and blogs that are written about college athletic recruiting. In the summaries, I noticed some local newspapers who publicize a seminar being held at the local high school. Headlines say "Former Notre Dame asst coach to speak at high school", or "Former Division II College Head Coach to speak on NCAA

Speaking Frankly...

2009-03-24T22:08:00.001-04:00

At a recent seminar to a decidedly upscale group of parents and student athletes, I noticed a pattern in the questions that were asked. More and more, parents want to know "what is my child going to get from their college experience?" And how can they leverage their time and effort investment in their child's athletic opportunities to gain admittance to the best academic school they can find?

2008-12-18T22:19:00.001-05:00

There is no doubt that today, more than ever before, it is imperative that parents understand the dynamics of college athletic recruiting. With most private schools topping the $30,000 a year mark, and each school's financial resources being drained by the troubles in the stock market, there is less financial aid to go around. Coaches are being squeezed, too, especially those who coach "

Periodically, I hop around on different college athletic sites to look for clues about their recruiting practices. I came across the Recruit Section on one site associated with CSTV (now CBS Collegesports). "Associated" means they pay a fee to have their sites built and managed, or have the site built for free, but allow CSTV to place advertising on the site and retain the revenue. This

In my time as both an NCAA Division I and III head coach, as well as a college athletics director, I am constantly amazed at the lack of good information that is out there for high school student athletes to base their decisions on. I read every article on "how to be noticed/recruited by a college coach" I can get my hands on, and they seem to fall into three categories:Written by scouting

In the past 12 years, I have spoken to over 5,000 high school student athletes, parents, coaches and guidance counselors about the NCAA recruiting process as it is practiced by coaches at all levels. One thing that constantly impresses me is how hungry everyone is to get the information that is right for them. Many of the other "recruiting services" that are out there do two things: either try to

Today I spent some really good time with our admissions staff and learned alot about the process of targeting potential students and then ultimately how that turns into an entering freshman class. It makes me think about the number of admissions offices that are targeting their prospective students through various methods...PSAT scores, high school, even zip code. Did you ever wonder how colleges
