We've got a big list of budgetary details and other interesting news, so lets get right after it......
SMU eliminated 10 positions from their Athletic Department including their Associate Athletic Director for Sales and Marketing and their Senior Women's Administrator.
Big Sky Conference basketball coaches have gone
public with their dissatisfaction over the decision to have teams play on back to back nights during conference play - citing diminished quality of play and safety concerns as the primary issues.
Roosevelt University in Chicago is adding an entire intercollegiate athletic program, two decades after a decision was made to close the department. They intend to start 12 teams over the next five years.
The New York Times wrote a summary article about students that have rejected fee increases to support athletics (all of which were previously covered by ultimatesportsinsider.com) . They also have an article about the large number of graduates from sports management programs and the absence of jobs when they finish their degrees.
The cabin.net has an interesting article about
football guarantee games that are being negotiated in Louisiana that will help the financial situations of some smaller state schools while simultaneously saving LSU significant money. The article lists specific guarantee figures for about ten games. The article also looks at whether the same should occur in the state of Arkansas.
Finally, if you're like me and wish you could find a newspaper style sports page in a quality on-line format, I encourage you to check out
