Woodson was named preseason fourth-team all mac for fans that like that sort of thing. I prefer that he quarterbacked the Zips to a bowl victory. I'm hoping for another one this year.

I was at the US Open in Oakmont yesterday. One of the marshals walks over to me and points at my shirt "did you go to Akron...I taught biology there for 35 years"

"The MAC has moved ahead of C-USA in virtually every aspect. By sticking with ESPN, instead of alienating the network as C-USA did in 2011, MAC schools receive $830,000 a piece in annual television revenue. That is $630,000 more than Marshall will get in 2016-17. What happened? Poor expansion by C-USA happened." It's too bad, Marshall was good for the MAC, and the MAC was good for Marshall.

If your a fan of Bill, he started a new site. It's called The Ringer. Started June 1. He interviews Maverick Carter about LeBron here.

Entire post is a good read, thanks. If you follow MTB on twitter, you will realize the above just has to be true. I'm excited to see what he does this year.

Should be working now.

Rejoice!!!!!

If I were representing LBJ, he would invest very little capital into the project, have the arena named after him...and more.

Personally, I think this would be the wrong way to approach him. It has to be creative, and benefit both parties. The solution exists.

I refuse to believe it can not be done to benefit both parties? LeBron is making a legacy off the court in his home town. There has to be some interest. I would guess a poster or two will respond by saying it's not possible, that it has already been explored. But has it been presented the proper way by the proper people? President Scarborough and LeBron already have an existing venture with the scholarship program, seems like an expansion of that could be explored.
