    NCAA Source: "Unprecedented" Penalties Against PSU

    I work with a PSU grad and he said me he is afraid the sanction could be explusion from the NCAA with the opportunity to reapply in a a year or two. Apparently expulsion from the NCAA is on the rule book for some major infractions (like a 4th APR violation). At least a few PSU fans think this...

    Fsu-Stanford

    Fsu-Stanford

    there is no way Stanford doesn't win their regional. So even if we get past FSU, we will be going to Palo Alto for the Super Regionals. For us to host, we need someone to beat Stanford. <div> </div><div>Edited to add: We can still bid for hosting the SR, but the NCAA has never let a 2 host over...

    Where will we be next weekend?

    North Carolina and South Carolina have 9 schools projected to be in the tournament, 3 of those should host (UNC, NC State, and USC) and none the other schools are projected as 4 seeds. The way the selection committee has tried to keep teams regional, I would expect the other Carolina schools to...

    There was speculation earlier that the UT game on Oct 13th would be moved to the..... unless they change some policy. They played on a Thursday when Manning was there (I think against Ole Miss) and afterwards the AD/school said they would never do that again. Since then, they haven't played a...

    Looks like Kermit Davis Jr turned USM down.

    MTSU may be the only place a coach could stay at a school for 10 years, make ZERO NCAAs, barely win 50% of his games and still get a 5 year contract extension.<div></div>

    Seriously, between what we're looking at now, does Kermit Davis look like that bad of an option?

    Seriously, between what we're looking at now, does Kermit Davis look like that bad of an option? A good coach has his team competing for championships in their respective league within 4 or 5 seasons. It took KD 10 years to have one season winning 20+ games, to beat any BCS size school, and to...

    OK Strick- Groce is gone- I say we go the Kenny F'ing Payne route

    Kermit has a career 57.8% winning percentage and a 57.5% winning percentage in 10 years at MTSU (if you count wins versus DII and NAIA teams).Most MTSU fans have wanted KD fired for years. Attendance dropped for the past 4 consecutive seasons before this year. He gets a gift this season with a...

    What would be wrong with Kermit Davs JR?

    Most MTSU fans wanted him fired years ago. You want a coach MOST MTSU fans wanted fired. I for one would love to see him leave MTSU and go somewhere else.<div> </div><div>In his first 9 years at MTSU, he averaged 17-15, no NCAA bids, no NITs. The only reason they were decent this year is he got...

    How does everyone feel about Kermit Davis?

    Kermit Davis is a less successful version of Stans.<div> </div><div>He has a 57% winning percentage in 10 years at MTSU (counting wins against DII and NAIA schools). In the 9 previous years, they lost to the worst team in D1 twice, and underachieve continually. He has no NCAA appearances. They...

    Okay, Let's Throw Some Potential Coaches Out There...

    MTSU fans want him fired. Most MTSU alumni, including myself, have wanted him fired for years. He would have been fired a few years ago, but MTSU didn't have the buyout money.<div> </div><div>He has a 57% winning percentage at MTSU; ~52-53% not counting DII and NAIA schools.</div><div>...

    If you are actually considering going to the NIT game....

    MSU is price gouging as well.<div><div> </div></div><div>Before someone makes the excuse that prices are set by the NIT, they are not.</div><div> </div><div>MSU is charging $20 per seat + $5 service charge.
