UM athletics cuts: College Park suffers from its bad bet on basketball
The flagship university for the state of Maryland, which happens to be a pioneer member of the Bowl Championship Series-rich Atlantic Coast Conference and resides in a state that boasts the wealthiest county in the country, has announced it will eliminate...Tags: FedEx Corporation, Gary Williams, Orange Bowl, Ralph Friedgen, Comcast Corporation

Navy taking it game-by-game after hype of last season fizzled
A year ago, there was talk of an undefeated season and a possible BCS invitation, a Heisman Trophy campaign for senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs and a seemingly assured eighth straight Commander-in-Chief's Trophy.
It all unraveled quickly for the Navy...Tags: Armed Forces, Ken Niumatalolo, Air Force Falcons, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Maryland Terrapins

SEC-OND TO NO ONE
The Southeastern Conference must think it invented football. Winning five straight Bowl Championship Series titles, and seven out of the 13 played, can give you a superiority complex. Never mind how much fortune, along with will and skill, was involved....Tags: Titus Young, Terrence Cody, Southeastern Conference, Doug Martin (football coach), Auburn Tigers

Maryland's Crowton eager to show off his offense
Gary Crowton extends his right hand to display the damage. The wrist had to be stabilized with a plate and 11 screws after two players careened into him as he coached at an LSU practice several years ago. He also suffered a concussion and lost a few...Tags: Philosophy, Randy Edsall, Maryland Terrapins, Brigham Young Cougars, Oregon Ducks

Oklahoma is team to beat this season
It's hard to argue with results.
The Southeastern Conference has won five straight Bowl Championship Series titles and clearly is the most dominant conference in college football.
So it would make perfect sense that my prediction for this year's BCS...Tags: History, Oklahoma State Cowboys, South Carolina Gamecocks, Florida State Seminoles, Orange Bowl

Which 2 teams will be in the BCS title game?
Alabama vs. Oklahoma Teddy Greenstein Chicago Tribune We already know one of the teams that will get there. Sort of. For five straight years, the survivor of the SEC title game has played for — and won — all the marbles. Who will that be?...Tags: Football, Jimbo Fisher, Chicago Tribune, Alabama Crimson Tide, Los Angeles Times

One BCS buster busted
TCU can't get to the Big East fast enough. The Horned Frogs leave the Mountain West next season, which is looking good after their 50-48 loss to Baylor on Friday. If they were in the Big East this season, they'd still have a shot at a BCS bowl. The Big...Tags: Villanova Wildcats, Georgia Bulldogs, Western Michigan Broncos, Mountain West Conference, Texas Christian Horned Frogs

So close, yet so far for Hokies
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer has coached enough games to experience varying degrees of pain on a football field, but nothing may compare to the ghastly horrors his team endured Tuesday night in a 23-20 overtime loss to Michigan. If he could magically...Tags: North Carolina State Wolfpack, Football, Frank Beamer, Sugar Bowl, Clemson Tigers

Longing for a rosy result
Texas may or may not end up in the Pacific-12 Conference. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott tried to lure the Longhorns last year before his dream for a 16-team super league was squashed — or maybe deferred. Texas once held a big stack of expansion...Tags: Brigham Young, Southeastern Conference, Texas Longhorns, Trips and Vacations, Rose Bowl Game

Tigers are 'D' real deal
If defense wins championships, LSU is headed to New Orleans. The Tigers' young, in-your-face defense has been impressive in wins over Oregon and Mississippi State. Surviving the rest of the schedule won't be easy, starting with a trip to West Virginia...Tags: Football, Ohio State Buckeyes, South Carolina Gamecocks, Big Ten Conference, Clemson Tigers

What next for Big 12, Big East teams?
Short-term solution Jeff Otterbein Hartford Courant So much is still in flux in the ever-changing world of conference realignment.

Certainly Connecticut and Rutgers from the Big...Tags: Cincinnati Bearcats, Iowa Hawkeyes, Mountain West Conference, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Big Ten Conference

Not so fast, Big 12 powers
Don't mess with … Pullman? These are fascinating days for purveyors of dark comedy and comeuppance. Last year, Texas wrecked what was then the Pac-10 Conference's plan to expand to 16 teams when the Longhorns reneged in the 11th hour. Tuesday...Tags: Oklahoma State Cowboys, ESPN (tv network), Western Athletic Conference, Southeastern Conference, Texas Tech Red Raiders
