I guess it’s easier to have Brandon Knight not sign it in May when there is very little that can happen before October. It’s a bit harder when there might be an NBA lockout forcing Knight to come back. Wouldn’t this be the perfect time to have Teague not sign it just in case. I know he made it work with Bledsoe, but I don’t think Teague is looking to play second banana and get drafted in the back half of the first round. I’m generally among the Cal haters, but I really liked what he did last year with the NLI. I’m just a little disappointed that he didn’t keep it up in a tougher situation.

This expansion was not driven by football alone like the Pac 12’s move, the Big 11’s move, and the Mountain West’s move. The WAC is trying to remain alive. This expansion, though, does nothing to help Hawaii.

What I don’t understand is how the two Texas schools can afford the increase travel budgets given their state government faces a $28 Billion shortfall. Yes, billion with a B. The state has little room to generate revenue; rather, education will bear the brunt of spending cuts.

Oh, wait. These programs tax their students. Who says higher education does not prepare you for life? The majority paying taxes to support the (rich) minority.
