Syracuse’s scandal will having its impact
On Nov. 17, accusations from Bobby Davis that Syracuse assistant College basketball coach Bernie Fine molested him for years became public and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim quickly came to his longtime assistant’s defense.
Davis, 39, alleges that Fine molested him beginning in 1984. Davis was one of the team’s ball boys for six years and he told ESPN that the sexual abuse happened at Fine’s house, at the Syracuse basketball facilities as well as on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four in New Orleans.
Mike Lang, 45, who is Davis’ stepbrother, also told ESPN that Fine molested him, starting when he was in fifth or sixth grade.

The day those accusations came out, Boeheim, who became coach at Syracuse in 1976 and has had Fine on his staff since then, spoke out strong against the accusers.
“This is alleged to have occurred … what?” Boeheim said last week. “Twenty years ago? Am I in the right neighborhood? It might be 26 years ago? So, we are supposed to what? Stop the presses 26 years later? For false allegations? For what I absolutely believe is a false allegation? I know he’s lying about me seeing him in his hotel room. That’s a lie. If he’s going to tell one lie, I’m sure there’s a few more of them.”

Matters of Size
The name is about the only thing that’s the same, and that’s one thing most everyone would change given the chance. Something about there being 10 College teams in the Big 12 College Conference makes people nuts, though it doesn’t seem to bother anyone that American Airlines flies to Europe and Asia.
Yeah, think about that one all you mathletes.
The Big 12 is a brand. Its name is not as established as the Big Ten’s or SEC’s, but it’s had less time. To start over now would complicate the process, and the conference already has lots to process as it moves forward looking dramatically different than how we remember it.
There’s so much change perhaps the College league office should consider calling it the “New, Improved Big 12.”
1. The double-round-robin format. With the departure of Nebraska and Colorado reducing the league’s membership, the Big 12 now can require all basketball teams to play each other in home-and-home series. That would be impractical in a 12-member league.
The Big 12 will be unique among BCS leagues, however, in being able to determine, as Kansas coach Bill Self says, “a true champion.”
For the first time since the league was formed, Kansas and Texas will play on each other’s courts inside the same season.
“Playing Texas every other year in our fieldhouse didn’t create the rivalry that should exist for our two schools,” Self said Thursday on the league’s summer teleconference.
Every member of the league has had to consider how to schedule given that there’ll be two more league games than in past years and that most of the remaining members have been strong programs — historically or recently, or both.
“I don’t know that any of us have it figured out,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said.
Your MLB Draft Card – Keep an out for the sleeper: “Stephen Hagen” of Texas Tech University
The first round of the 2011 MLB Draft will begin at 7 p.m. ET on Monday, as MLB teams select their next group of future stars. A look at some first-round college baseball prospects:
Get their college baseball jerseys at www.onthefield.com! We might even have their high school apparel! Check it all out at www.onthefield.com.
INF STEPHEN HAGEN, Texas Tech University, THE PENINSULA HIGH SCHOOL, 
Twice named Big 12 Player of the Week (May 2, March 21)…College Baseball Foundation National All-Star Lineup (March 24)… 
Red Raider Classic All-Tournament Team…batted .266 (58-for-218) with 38 runs, 12 doubles, six home runs, 42 RBI, 26 walks, five hit-by-pitch, .404 slugging percentage and a .352 on-base percentage! In 2009, he played one season at Eastern Oklahoma State College in Wilburton, Okla., under head coach Aric Thomas in 2009… drafted in the 42nd round (1,253rd overall) by the Seattle Mariners in the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Players Draft… was a First-Team All-Conference selection hitting .315 with 14 doubles, 29 home runs, 37 walks and 89 RBI… 29 home runs led the NJCAA! 
A Human Science major from Texas Tech University, Hagen enjoys weight lifting, hunting and fishing. Him and his wife Jenny graduated from Peninsula High School in Gig Harbor, WA where Stephen was a varsity letterwinner in baseball coached by Marco Malich, drafted in the 50th round by the Oakland Athletics in the 2007 Major League Baseball First-Year Players Draft, a two-time All-League, All-Area and All-State selection 3rd basemen, and helped lead his team to a second-place finish in the state tournament during junior year and almost a repeat his senior year.
Hagen is one of the most well-rounded people to have possibly ever taken part in any professional sports draft. Look for him to light-up Sportscenter in the near future and be the off-field role model that kids around the world will look up to. 
Securing a College Baseball Scholarship
I recently stumbled upon an article outlining how competitive it is for high school athletes to secure baseball scholarships for college. The article outlined several ways for athletes to stand apart from the crowd to snag coveted scholarship money. Atop the suggestions was having a proven academic record of excellence. If you’re scratching your heads, consider this: a competitive athlete who is also a stellar student is ideal for coaches because there is less worry about that player being benched for academic ineligibility.
Other ways to secure scholarships attached to college baseball jerseys is by creating a multi-media athletic resume. Videos that showcase a player’s talent, newspaper clippings of great performances, and a detailed list of statistics will present a player in the best light. Attendance at baseball summer camps where recruitment is high is a wise move, too. Finally, players shouldn’t be afraid of contacting a coach or athletic department directly and expressing a need for scholarship money; though, players need to be aware that there are NCAA rules athletic departments need to abide by.
NCAA needs more schooling on sports, not media
Honestly, the name they gave the enterprise made it sound like the worst idea ever for a theme park ride: The NCAA Enforcement Experience.
And then what? Race on over to Waterboarding for Giggles?
The NCAA’s day-long seminar to explain the process by which violations are investigated and adjudicated didn’t turn out to be torture. It was a well-constructed effort by the NCAA to make its judicial process seem less mysterious, its investigators appear more human.
The NCAA Enforcement Experience wasn’t as enlightening as the mock NCAA Tournament selection exercise introduced in 2007, primarily because the enforcement enterprise always has been easier to understand. But people still manage to misunderstand it, which is why the organization was inspired to conceive this exercise for a roomful of media involved in the coverage of College activities.
The method by which we were taken through the infractions process made it easy to understand. There are two components that are separate but equally important: the full-time employees at the NCAA Enforcement division, who investigate whether a violation has been committed; and the volunteers from the Committee on Infractions who judge the suspected offenders.
This was the story they presented Tuesday:
ENFORCEMENT
The pretend case we evaluated began with a phone call to NCAA headquarters routed to an investigator in the Enforcement division. It came from a young woman who said she’d been the girlfriend of a football player at fictional State U. She claimed she’d witnessed the head coach, Coach Smith, providing a cheat sheet for a group of players in a Sociology of Sports class. Read More >>
Thomas Robinson Overcomes Trying Week to Spark Kansas Over Kansas State
As his world seemed to be spinning out of control in front of him, Kansas College sophomore forward Thomas Robinson longed for normalcy.
He found it Saturday night in the sport he loves. He found it with his Jayhawks teammates. He found it in the comfort of Allen Fieldhouse.
A week after learning his mother, Lisa Robinson, had died and two days after burying her, Robinson returned to his comfort zone Saturday night. It was anything but normal from the outset when 16,300 delivered a standing ovation as Robinson entered the game against Kansas State at the 16:45 mark in the first half.
The Jayhawks fans stood and applauded each time he exited to the bench and they tried as best they could to will every shot Robinson took into the basket.
Such emotion directed at one person might have been draining for most, but for Robinson it was a sign of things finally being right.
“It is beyond amazing and it was a good crowd,” Robinson said. “We have great people all across Kansas. This past month has really opened my eyes to how amazing this place is.
“It’s beyond words to describe how I feel and the love that I have for the University of Kansas and the fans.”
Robinson let his game express how he felt about the outpouring show of support, which included having one of the KU assistants with him every step last week in Washington, D.C. while he carried out the unenviable task of making funeral arrangements for his mother and his entire team being by his side for the funeral Thursday.
Robinson was part of a front court assault that saw Markieff Morris score a game-high 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Robinson scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds in his first game back to help the sixth-ranked Jayhawks in their 90-66 rout of rival Kansas State. As it turns out, while Robinson was grieving his loss, he was also longing to return to basketball.
Friday in practice felt good. Saturday felt even better.
RIP Cal Baseball
Last September, when California chancellor Robert Birgeneau announced that the 2001 season would be the last for the California baseball team, he made no hint or indication of an optimistic outcome. Despite that the fight to save the baseball program goes on. Alumni, parents, school contributors and local business owners have banded together in an effort to save the ailing baseball program reinvigorate its 108-year long traditions.
Although the interest in the program appeared to have decline in recent years, it seems to be experiencing a bit of a resurgence. Even in the face of this support, however, many college officials insist that saving the program would require saving the other doomed sports programs at the school. Even if the money could be raised independently the school administration claims that it’s still out of the question because it would be unfair to the other programs. If Cal is your favorite team then it may be time to find another program who’s college baseball jerseys go with your current Cal-aligned wardrobe.
South Carolina in Celebration For What Accomplishments it Has
If you stand on the 50-yard line at Williams-Brice Stadium and spin around, you won’t see a whole lot of writing on the walls when it comes to team accomplishments. It’s just the way it’s always been for the University of South Carolina’s football program.
The moments of success are fleeting, few and far between. Like a firecracker, they’re vibrant and bright in an instant and gone the next.
The 1984 season is the perfect example: The Gamecocks were 9-0 and ranked No. 2 in the country when a Navy team that went on to win three games upset the season fans had dreamed about, literally, for decades. There’s not been a season to approach it since, especially since the school entered the ultra-demanding, super-competitive Southeastern Conference in 1991.
In the stadium’s south end zone, there’s an almost haunting painted reminder of the team’s only conference title — the 1969 ACC championship. Read More >>
