    NCAA mulling change to allow on-field corporate sponsorships

    Years back, Mrs. Illiniguy74 and I attended a football game at Louisville in Papa John's Stadium. We were both surprised by the name.

    NCAA mulling change to allow on-field corporate sponsorships

    I find it a little disingenuous when people complain about the pursuit of wealth. With all it's warts, it is still the driving force that enables us to live in the comfort we have grown accustom to.

    "Charming". I agree. Like LALA land UCLA. I want to look tough. I think the numbered helmet does that best.

    This consolidation is long overdue. To me, UIUC always seemed like an overly complicated identifier driven by the academic side without regard for the need for a strong, simple and straight forward identifier on the athletic side. As an aside, my family was a neighbor of the Kaler family for...

    More Northwestern legal troubles

    Time for Northwestern to get bounced from the B1G. We benefit by discontinuing the awful "rivalry opponent" the B1G has fabricated.

All other things being equal, as a recruit, would you want to sign with a school (fan base) that actively promotes itself...
