Why does the AP continue to reward cheaters?

The NCAA found USC guilty of major infractions in 2004 and 2005, in other words they cheated and got caught. The BCS had no problem stripping USC of its title in 2004, it was a unanimous vote.  So why does the AP insist on keeping USC as its proclaimed champion of that season? I'm not saying that USC wasn't the best team that season, they very likely were. What I am saying is, when you cheat and get caught you typically get punished and you certainly don't get rewarded. Unless of course you work for the AP. This sort of action is what got the AP poll removed from the BCS rankings.  This is not the first time the AP has rewarded a college football program guilty of cheating,  they did it back in 1974 with Oklahoma and there are probably other instances that occurred as well. I just don't feel like doing any more research at the moment. This is a very dangerous precedent the AP has set for itself.  It doesn't matter if you cheat and get caught, just win all the games. That's the only thing that matters.  In fact, if you win by a large enough margin some will almost forget that you played those games with a professional athlete on your team as seen by the five writers in this article.  At the very least the AP should vacate the title from 2004, showing that they won't reward teams for cheating. They should probably take a step further and declare Auburn and Utah co-champions since both finished the season undefeated and neither were caught cheating.  Every day the AP refuses to acknowledge the corrupt behavior at USC, I can only assume that the AP itself is also corrupt.

Bill Stewart will resign as head coach of West Virginia.

After reports broke of Stewart paying a reporter to dig up dirt on head coach in waiting Dana Holgorsen, it was only a matter of time before his resignation occurred. I'm not sure I blame Stewart for this because he was forced into a lame duck season after the West Virginia administration hired a new head coach for the 2012 season to be coach in waiting in the meantime.  It doesn't necessarily excuse Stewart's actions, but clearly he was not in a good situation to begin with. In hindsight, the proper thing for Stewart to do was resign as soon as Holgorsen was named coach in waiting by the administration. I feel certain Stewart could have got another head coaching job fairly quick, although it may not have been quite on the same level as a West Virginia head coaching job.  This could pose some added intrigue to the LSU v WVU game this season.  New coaches sometimes have a way of inspiring exceptional play from their players. That game may end up being closer contested than I'd like. I still think LSU has more overall talent and depth than WVU. So as long as LSU can not make mistakes they should beat WVU. But then again, it is in Morgantown and they just officially got a new head coach so we can only wait and see.

SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 Player

I highly recommend this MP3 player not only for the price but also for its functionality. The Sansa Fuze is and extremely easy to use MP3 player that can also play videos and it has an FM radio.  It's simple drag-and-drop file adding lets you quickly and easily add music to the player. It also has an expandable mini sd card slot for additional storage space, that is something the ipod doesn't have.  For half the price, or less, of an ipod you really can't beat the Sansa Fuze MP3 player.

College baseball super regionals have finally started.

First game today is Florida v Mississippi St, as I am writing this Florida is laying the smack down on Miss St in the top of the 5th 9-0.  Later this afternoon Stanford and North Carolina will square off.  Then this evening there will be two more games;  Texas v Arizona St., and Vanderbilt v Oregon St. Should be some pretty exciting games today. My predictions are UNC, Arizona St, and Vandy all come out winners today.

Wow! Jason Terry and Jason Kidd with huge shots in the final minutes.

Looks like its going to be another exciting finish in the NBA finals. Let's see who comes up bigger, Lebron or Dirk.

QB Terrelle Pryor declines Canadian Football League offer.

Terrelle Pryor, formerly of Ohio State University, has declined an offer to play for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL. It seems as though he is going to wait for the NFL supplemental draft later this summer. That's not necessarily a bad move as long as he didn't out right reject the CFL offer. I personally do not believe he will be drafted in the NFL supplemental draft. I think he should have taken the offer from the Roughriders even though they probably didn't offer much more than what local memorabilia dealers where offering him while he was at OSU. He seemed to have no problem taking the money while he was in college, he should have continued to take the money the CFL offered him. If he really wants to play in the NFL, he should strongly consider switching to wider receiver. With his size and athleticism he could make a quality possession receiver in the NFL. He won't make QB money, but he will probably make more than a CFL contract, if he is willing to work at the WR position. I think the only real question left is,  how little is the Pryor memorabilia worth now. The tattoo parlor owner can't possibly get a good return on investment in this deal. Especially considering most of Pryor's wins as a QB at OSU are about to be vacated by the NCAA, if not all of them. Oh well, maybe a lesson can be learned from all of this. Although, I highly doubt that this sort of behavior will stop.
