Why College Football Should Be Banned
Sunday 27th of May 2012 12:27:56 AM
Posted by admin / Under NCAA Football 11
| In more than 20 years I've spent studying the issue, I have yet to hear a convincing argument that college football has anything do with what is presumably the primary purpose of higher education: academics. That's because college football has no academic purpose. Which is why it needs to be banned. A radical solution, yes. But necessary in today's times. Football only provides the thickest layer of distraction in an atmosphere in which colleges and universities these days are all about distraction, nursing an obsession with the social well-being of students as opposed to the obsession that they are there... |

US Marines Commercial on NCAAs

| I guess I'm the only one outraged by this. I did a search for previous posts and didn't find anything. So there's this commercial for the Marines that has run at least twice now that I've seen. Lot's of guys hitting the beach &c., but no enemy. But one of the helicopters is full of boxes labeled "AID." I'm not a Marine, but I feel sorry for those I've know, who see their Corps relegated to a meals-on-wheels brigade. I searched for a video of this commercial, but was unable to find one. ML/NJ |

| President Barack Obama unveiled the first election-year NCAA tournament bracket of his term Wednesday—and he likes North Carolina to win it all. The last time Obama picked the Tar Heels? That was in 2009, after he ran in a pickup game with them while on the campaign trail, and UNC made the president look prescient by cruising to the title. Obama went with Kansas in 2010 and 2011, but the Jayhawks were bounced before the Final Four in both NCAA tournaments. Which brings him back to North Carolina, a swing state that went blue in 2008 for the first time... |

With the United Kingdom's prime minister David Cameron next to him, Obama stressed that often foreign leaders "only see the coasts. But the heartland is what it’s all about." There is not doubt that Ohio is certainly "what it's all about" when it comes to electoral politics... |

As John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" played over the loudspeakers at WVU Coliseum, Williams celebrated a 61-60 win by pantomiming a ballroom-style dance right in front of the student section. Williams' dance inspired a reaction from the student section reminiscent of what happens when a lit match is tossed on a kerosene-soaked pile of kindling. West Virginia students were so livid with the Marquette coach that... |
