    At least they won't lose to Ohio State again.

    We did a story last year on the international flavor of the women's tennis team at a SWAC school. They had eight players from eight countries on three continents — not a single one of them American.
    It's not uncommon, either. We did a quick look at all of the SWAC women's tennis rosters while doing that story, and 36 of the 58 players in the league were from outside the U.S., with 28 countries and every continent except Antarctica represented. And that's just a small, low-level Division I conference.
    The coach said he mostly uses the internet to study film and make contacts around the world. I think there's a lot of blind trust on both sides during the recruiting process.

    California wants the “jock tax.”

    At least this way, Harbaugh can be spared criticism for not beating Ohio State.

    I’ll never forget where I was when the media made Brian Bosworth wear this. AF264888-E781-4DFA-AC84-5492E84031AA.jpeg

    Barry Switzer made 75,000 in 1986.

    I will say this: The inflated coaching salaries today have turned too many coaches into amateur moral leaders.

    That's amazing. That's one month's salary for a modern Power 5 coordinator.
    And I'm guessing Switzer was among the highest paid coaches of his day.
