Arkansas's Drop Out Of The Top 25 Is Second Only To Michigan's After The Appalachian State Debacle
Remember about 17 hours ago, when the Arkansas Razorbacks lost to 30-point underdog Louisiana-Monroe in Little Rock?

The Sabanization Of College Football Is A Total Bummer
Yesterday we lauded San Diego State's Rocky Long for potentially eschewing the kick (field goals or punts) in fourth-down situations, a strategic move that's become something of a totem in the advanced football stats discussion. Today, kind of the opposite: it seems college coaches are lining up to ...
It Appears North Carolina Has Published Julius Peppers's Transcript For Some Reason

FBI Called In Over University Of Hawaii's Canceled Stevie Wonder Concert Debacle
This is one of the stories where we probably don't know a fraction of what's to come, but at the very least, we know that the University of Hawaii has placed its athletic director on "indefinite leave," called in the FBI, and potentially lost some $200,000 over a Stevie Wonder concert that was booke...
Looking To Burn $5,000? The University Of Colorado Has You Covered
Right now on something called Higher Ed Surplus—a division of Public Surplus, which is like eBay for public agencies looking to get rid of their shit—the University of Colorado is auctioning off its 16-year-old basketball (and volleyball) court for the low, low price of $5,000. Now you can personall...

Friday finally brought some excitement to the table, after the initial thrill of Thursday's day-drinking-instead-of-working had worn off. We had two 15 seeds beating 2 seeds—and one of them was Duke! But the real fun came after Norfolk State University bested Missouri, a team for some reason loads ...
Cornell Defender Sends Her Team To The Frozen Four On Dazzling Goal In Triple Overtime
Lauriane Rougeau sent Boston University packing, and the season high home crowd of 2,143 Cornell fans into hysterics, when she slipped this one past the goalie to end what amounted to two full games of hockey played. Cornell won the wild game, that featured a three-goal-comeback by each team, 8-7....
The American University Swim Team Went To Miami And Got Their LMFAO On
We've been inundated with links to this little video that the American University men's swim team made during a training trip to Miami Beach.
