Ohio State getting busted earlier this winter was kind of sweet, even if I think it's moronic that kids can't sell their own shit. But Jim Tressel having prior knowledge of it and not acting it, which could lead to major violations? Well that's just priceless. I'm not a fan of one of Ohio State's rivals, but I know a dirty program when I see it. Tressel's choir boy, tight-ship reputation that he's somehow gotten nationally is a sham, and it's good to see he's finally getting caught. (Yahoo!)
Ohio State fans are reacting with an expected, "Yeah, this could be bad, but the media sucks," meme, which in this case, is totally untrue. The guys at Yahoo! Sports are the same guys that broke the Reggie Bush story, and several others. They do their homework and due diligence. This is going to result in something. (Along the Olentangy)
Notre Dame is switching to remote-controlled cameras to film their practices, a response to the death of student videographer Declan Sullivan this past season. I really don't think the issue is the use of hydraulic lifts so much as it was the use of it in the conditions it was used in. But if it's going to prevent future tragedy, why not. (Chicago Tribune)
I was going to use this space to roundup the NCAA Tournament bubble action, but thankfully, Michael Rothstein did that for me. Basically, last night was good for bubble teams, as the teams that were going to get in with at-large bids (Gonzaga and Old Dominion) each won their conference tournaments. (AnnArbor.com)
The Fennville boys basketball team won its district opener last night against Lawrence. It's amazing how tragic this story is. His funeral is today. (SI.com)
Get ready, it's campaign season. And if you feel like the last campaign season just ended, you're wrong. Campaign season never ends. I imagine the Republican presidential primary will be a game of who can be more extreme in bashing the president. (Des Moines Register)
In the most unsurprising news of the year, or maybe the decade, Charlie Sheen has been fired from "Two and Half Men" and the show is trying to find a way to go on without him. The next in the line of unsurprising e-mails: "Two and Half Men" canceled. (Hollywood Reporter)
