    Certainly cant argue with your point with with regard to the "revenue sports". About the only positive that I've been able to glean from this self inflicted shiz show is that the scholarship pool now is greater for the olympic sports

    The sad and unfortunate outcome of this mess is that so many kids won't get their education. The NCAA's advertised talking point of: “Almost All of Us Will be Going Pro in Something Other Than Sports.” has essentially been completely wiped out in the major sports. The lack of governance means...

    Local HS Soccer

    My experiences through the years were with 2A-5A schools, so that's the perspective I witnessed in those smaller districts. 6A I'm sure is different based on urban vs suburban due to student population and financial resources and support. I 100% agree with you on that being the perspective...

    Local HS Soccer

    In regards to most sports, at the majority of schools in Oklahoma, the reality is that they are expected to be a great classroom teacher in the subject area they spending the majority of their day teaching. Being a highly qualified coach is often secondary, exempting the major sports that...

    EOH Podcast-entire Bill Self address to his 1999-2000 Hall of Fame Basketball Team

    You can tell how special that group was to him. Building a team like that, with what most considered lesser parts, and building them into a group that absolutely scared the hell out of opponents with their grit I venture to guess will his most rewarding team to coach when he looks back after his...

    This is too funny....

    Dear good that's good; hope they don't have Tulsa up next in their production schedule.

    Terrance Ford Jr commits to TU

    Seems like a nice pickup base on his very impressive highlight reel. Absolutely no hesitation when there's an opening from deep and good decision making in going to the hole and dishing it in traffic if the shot isn't there. He's really slick in his ability to find space under that basket...

    New Field Turf

    You are correct, I went As I said, the stuff today is exponentially better. The old stuff wasn't much better than the outdoor carpet that my uncle glued down on his patio slab in the late 70's or early 80's because it looked "cool". Can't believe anyone with a lick of common sense could have...

    New Field Turf

    The original turf of 30+ years ago was exactly as described, out door carpet over a parking lot. Turf has evolved exponentially over the years, but in the end it's still carpet over a parking lot. The difference is in the length of the blades and the filament used to keep them standing as well...

    Tulsa Public Schools (TPS)

    That's the most common and oldest sin by coaches in the book.

    Delanie Crawford

    I believe she completed her degree, so if that's the case I have no major issue with her choosing to move on. It's the ones that don't make an attempt to prepare themselves for the world beyond a basketball court I take issue with.

    March Madness Thread

    Detest Houston, but hate Duke. At 69 years old it would be nice to see Kelvin get a National Championship; as long as we recognize it as Kelvin’s National Championship. In the end since it’s not going to be Duke or A-hole Hurley walking away with another trophy the world is a better place.

    SIXTH ANNUAL BRACKET CHALLENGE

    Your right... Absolutely no idea how TT pulled that off, it certainly wasn't because of anything Florida did exceedingly well down the stretch. I was hoping for a finish in the top 1K brackets on ESPN and would have had to been perfect till the end. Only time in my life to have this clean of...
