THE WORST OP-ED EVER. This opinion article by Darrin Cline of the Iowa State Daily on "Student Athletes lacking respectability" is unbelievable. Between the skewed stats and the odd application of dress code to moral code, there's almost too much terrible to explain. I'm all for criticizing our athletes if they're actually getting in trouble (no more percentage wise than the rest of the student body), but this is completely unfair to the ones that do nothing but good (even if they do it while in sweatpants).

BIG 12 EXPANSION! We have Senators Mitch McConnell and Joe Manchin STILL pissy at each other over the Louisville-WVU to the Big 12 fiasco, while at the SAME TIME, Clemson and FSU are rumored to be passing up Louisville on the list of Big 12 wanted schools. Put me down as skeptical on this one actually happening.
THE BIG EAST ADDS A SCHOOL ACTUALLY LOCATED IN THE EAST! It's Memphis. If you don't know much about Memphis, here's a handy guide.
